Proteins regularly assemble in vivo to enhance their activity or to coordinate with each other. My work focuses on computationally designing protein scaffolds to enhance enzymatic activity. Additionally, my work continues into functionalizing this protein scaffold to assemble and disassemble with an external signal to grant a measure of control on bulk enzyme rates.
