Predicting the tolerated sequences for proteins and protein interfaces using RosettaBackrub flexible backbone design.

Predicting the set of sequences that are tolerated by a protein or protein interface, while maintaining a desired function, is useful for characterizing protein interaction specificity and for computationally designing sequence libraries to engineer proteins with new functions. Here we provide a gen...
