proteinkedjeset
Proteinkedjeset is a term used in synthetic biology and protein engineering to describe a modular toolkit for designing and assembling polypeptide chains into programmable protein architectures. The concept envisions a set of interchangeable modules—protein domains, motifs, and flexible linkers—that can be ordered and combined to form multi-domain proteins, scaffolds, or nanostructures with defined stoichiometry and topology. The name combines elements meaning protein chain and kit, and variations of the term appear in different research communities.
A proteinkedjeset relies on modularity: modules are selected for compatibility of boundaries, desired function, and folding
Proteinkedjeset concepts are used to build multi-domain enzymes with coordinated activity, scaffold proteins that organize metabolic
Development and considerations
The field remains learning-intensive and heterogeneous, with standards evolving for module portability, annotation, and quality control.
