Computational protein engineering has enabled the rational design of customized proteins, which has propelled both sequence-based and structure-based immunogen engineering and delivery. By discerning antigenic determinants of viral pathogens, computational methods have been implemented to successfully engineer representative viral strains able to elicit broadly neutralizing responses or present antigenic sites of viruses for focused immune responses. Combined with improvements in customizable nanoparticle design, immunogens are multivalently displayed to enhance immune responses. These rationally designed immunogens offer unique and powerful approaches to engineer vaccines for pathogens, which have eluded traditional approaches.
