Nature has primarily exploited helical proteins, over beta-sheets, for heme/multi-heme coordination. Understating of heme-protein structures has motivated the design of heme proteins utilizing coiled-coil helical structure. By contrast, de novo designed beta-sheet proteins are less successful. However, designing proteins with discretely folded beta-sheet structures encoding specific functions would have great potential for the development of new synthetic molecules e.g. enzymes, inhibitors. Here we report the design and characterization of multi-heme binding four-, six-, eight-, and twelve-stranded beta-sheet mini-proteins (
