Structure and stability of the designer protein WRAP-T and its permutants

Abstract $$\beta $$ β -Propeller proteins are common natural disc-like pseudo-symmetric proteins that contain multiple repeats (‘blades’) each consisting of a 4-stranded anti-parallel $$\beta $$ β -sheet. So far, 4- to 12-bladed $$\beta $$ β -propellers have been discovered in nature showing large f...
