Abstract
Recent contributions to the de novo design of metalloproteins based on coiled coils and helical bundles are described herein, with examples covering mononuclear, multinuclear, and metallo-porphyrin sites, as well as membrane soluble designs. Important progress is being made in the field with a diverse range of functionalities, sometimes beyond those found in biology, being successfully engineered into these simplified scaffolds and represents an exciting prospect for the future.
