**The cover picture shows** an illustration of consensus design, a powerful protein‐engineering method that is based on sequence alignments of homologous proteins. An alignment of ankyrin repeats is shown in the sequence plane, and a consensus‐designed ankyrin repeat protein based on this alignment

## Abstract In earlier work, two highly homologous (87% sequence identity) ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins, E3\_5 and E3\_19, were studied using molecular‐dynamics (MD) simulation. Their stabilities were compared, and it was found that the C‐terminal capping unit is unstable in the protein E3\_19, in
## Abstract Leucine‐rich repeats (LRRs) are 20–29‐aa motifs that mediate protein–protein interactions and are present in a variety of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins. Many LRR proteins with neuronal functions have been reported. Here, we summarize an emerging group of synaptic LRR proteins, which
## Abstract Many human proteins contain amino acid repeats that can form homopolymeric amino acid (HPAA) tracts. HPAA tract proteins that contain polyalanine sequences promote diseases, including oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. The pathological properties of these proteins develop when the repe
Although interactions of proteins with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), such as heparin and heparan sulphate, are of great biological importance, structural requirements for protein-GAG binding have not been well-characterised. Ionic interactions are important in promoting protein-GAG binding. Polyelectro
When initiating a new design, designers usually begin with a database to look for historical design solution, past experience and available techniques through design documents. This database is a collection of labeled design documents under predefined categories, and covers the concerned aspects fro
