A dramatic demonstration of hyperstabilization of a protein using in silico design. A fully automated sequence selection found a sequence with seven mutations relative to the wild type that was hyperthermophilic and over 4 kcal/mol more stable. The authors solved the NMR structure of one of the designed proteins and showed that the structure was a near perfect match with the wild type.
