Design Notes

Two computational tools were used to inform the rational design process: FlexddG, a Rosetta protein design algorithm which can take backbone flexibility into account, and which gives an accurate prediction of the energy change after mutation; and FuncLib, a web server which can quickly and exhaustively screen combinations of mutants.

FlexddG was used to test substitutions at each candidate position. These were selected on a rational basis, to better interact with local motifs on the PET ligand. The best performers were fed into FuncLib; the most commonly substituted amino acids in the top 600 sequences as scored by FuncLib were used to put together a short-list of multiple mutants, which were tested using FlexddG again. This sequence was a Top 4 performer in this final testing process.

A detailed description of this process is available on the iGEM Toronto 2019 Wiki.
