SYNTHETIC FOLDABLE PROTEINS GENERATED FROM PEPTIDE SEGMENTS OF FOLDING NUCLEI OF REFERENCE PROTEINS

A method of making a synthetic foldable having a tertiary structure emulating the tertiary structure of a reference foldable protein is described. The method includes determining a folding nucleus peptide sequence associated with folding the reference foldable protein. The synthetic foldable protein is synthesized by including the determined folding nucleus peptide sequence and at least one repeat thereof in the peptide sequence of the synthetic foldable protein.
