Toolkit/circular permutation

circular permutation

Also known as: CP

Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

Circular permutation (CP) is an invaluable approach to redesigning a protein by rearranging the amino acid sequence, where the connectivity of the secondary structural elements is altered without changing the overall structure of the protein.
