Abstract

The advantages of computational design and directed evolution are complementary, and only through combined and iterative use of both approaches, a daunting task such as protein-ligand interaction design, can be achieved efficiently. Here, we describe a systematic strategy to combine structure-guided computational design, iterative site saturation mutagenesis, and yeast two-hybrid system (Y2H)-based phenotypic screening to engineer novel and orthogonal interactions between synthetic ligands and human estrogen receptor α (hERα) for the development of novel gene switches.
