FireProt: Energy- and Evolution-Based Computational Design of Thermostable Multiple-Point Mutants.

There is great interest in increasing proteins' stability to enhance their utility as biocatalysts, therapeutics, diagnostics and nanomaterials. Directed evolution is a powerful, but experimentally strenuous approach. Computational methods offer attractive alternatives. However, due to the limi...
