A small set of sequence constraints derived from the conservation of residues and the co-evolution of pairs of residues in an MSA of WW domains were found to be sufficient to create a library of folded proteins. These proteins were shown to adopt the same fold and possess the same range of thermostability as natural WW domains.

[45], the functional properties (peptide-binding affinity and specificity) of artificial WW domains were found to be consistent with those of natural WW domains. This finding illustrates that a very small set of constraints are sufficient to encode function in a protein.

Science 304 (2004) 1151-1154. In a very successful venture, this group was able to blend the iterative incorporation of sequence diversity and functional selection to find a genetic variant of GAT with enzymatic efficiency four log orders higher than that of any of the parent sequences. The new enzyme was also effective in vivo and rescued plants from lethal doses of herbicide.

Libraries containing degenerate codons at a single amino acid position were constructed and characterized based on their enzymatic products. The authors then demonstrated that the product profiles could be rationally combined to predict enzyme variants with specific activity profiles. This construction of a specialized functional database illustrates how functional information can be cleverly incorporated into protein design.
