Natural recombination combines pieces of pre-existing proteins to create new tertiary structures and functions. We describe a computational protocol, called SEWING, which is inspired by this process and builds new proteins from connected or disconnected pieces of existing structures. Helical proteins designed with SEWING contain structural features absent from other de novo designed proteins and in some cases remain folded to over 100 °C. High resolution structures of the designed proteins CA01 and DA05R1 were solved by X-ray crystallography (2.2 Å resolution) and NMR respectively, and there was excellent agreement with the design models. This method provides a new strategy to rapidly create large numbers of diverse and designable protein scaffolds.
