Computational protein and peptide design encompasses the creation of novel proteins from scratch or the modification of natural proteins, and seeks to identify the optimal amino acid sequence to adopt a specified fold or function. The resulting engineered protein variants can provide insights into the biophysical properties of proteins or be formulated as diagnostic tools, therapeutic agents, or functional biomaterials.
