Our Algorithm
We employ sophisticated de novo protein design algorithms that use an iterative process to generate amino acid sequences compatible with a specified backbone conformation. We follow a step-by-step procedure that involves the following stages:
Sequence selection
We determine the sequence that best fits the identified backbone conformation.
Energy refinement
We refine the generated sequence by minimizing the energy and improving the stability.
Fragment assembly
We construct the protein backbone using fragments from known protein structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you explain the main steps involved in the Protein Conformation De Novo Design approach?
Our Protein Conformation De Novo Design approach is comprised of several main stages: First, an initial protein backbone is constructed from scratch or by modifying an existing structure. This is followed by a systematic search of conformational space using an algorithm to sample various side-chain rotamers and backbone dihedral angles. An energy function is then used to evaluate and optimize the structures. Finally, the top-ranked models are isolated and then subject to computational validation and experimental testing.
What are the various methods incorporated by CD ComputaBio in Protein Conformation De Novo Design?
We integrate diverse computational strategies such as fragment assembly, ab initio modeling, threading, combinatorial methods, and more. Each method has its strengths and is used according to the requirements of a particular project. We leverage homology modeling for known protein families and threading for problems where a structural template exists. In cases where no template is available or for truly novel designs, we utilize fragment assembly or ab initio modeling.
How does CD ComputaBio ensure the success of designed proteins in experimental settings?
Our success in designing proteins tailored for specific functions is augmented by our rigorous validation and prediction techniques. We employ in silico screening methodologies to gauge the binding affinity, specificity, and potential off-target interactions of designed proteins. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive reports detailing the biophysical and biochemical properties of designed proteins, ensuring our clients are equipped with valuable insights for experimental validation.
What techniques does CD ComputaBio employ to ensure the accuracy and feasibility of designed protein structures?
CD ComputaBio utilizes a multi-faceted approach. This includes:
- Molecular dynamics simulations to assess structural stability and dynamics in diverse environments
- Energy minimization techniques to refine and optimize the designed protein structures
- Comparative modeling and structural validation against known experimental structures or trusted protein databases
- Machine learning-based approaches for property prediction and functional annotation of designed proteins
