De novo design of integrin a5ß1 modulating proteins to enhance biomaterial properties

Integrin a5ß1 is crucial for cell attachment and migration in development and tissue regeneration, and a5ß1 binding proteins can have considerable utility in regenerative medicine and next-generation therapeutics. We use computational protein design to create de novo a5ß1-specific modulating minipro...
