How did enzyme catalysts evolve? First, a single catalytic group of rudimentary effectiveness could have been incorporated into a single short peptide. In the second stage, several peptides would bind together, providing a multichain assembly with improved catalytic effectiveness. These peptides wou

## Abstract Directed evolution has been successfully used to engineer proteins for basic and applied biological research. However, engineering of novel protein functions by directed evolution remains an overwhelming challenge. This challenge may come from the fact that multiple simultaneously or sy
Function allocation is a central component of systems engineering and its main aim is to provide a rational means of determining which system-level functions should be carried out by humans and which by machines. Such allocation, it is assumed, can take place early in design life cycle. Such a ratio
## Abstract Betaβcatenin functions as a cytoskeletal linker protein in cadherinβmediated adhesion and as a signal mediator in __wnt__βsignal transduction pathways. We use a novel integrative approach, combining evolutionary, genomic, and threeβdimensional structural data to analyze and trace the st
## Abstract De novo protein design provides an attractive approach for the construction of models to probe the features required for the function of complex metalloproteins. These minimal models contain the essential elements believed necessary for activity of the protein. In this article, we summa
