We are thrilled to share ProDomino a model for the prediction of domain insertion sites in proteins. Our approach enables the simple and rapid engineering of highly potent switchable proteins, as we exemplify by creating novel inducible variants of Cas9 and Cas12a.

Rational engineering of allosteric protein switches by in silico prediction of domain insertion sites
Domain insertion engineering is a powerful approach to juxtapose otherwise separate biological functions, resulting in proteins with new-to-nature activities. A prominent example are switchable protei...
