De Novo Design of High‐Affinity Miniprotein Binders Targeting Francisella Tularensis Virulence Factor

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 52, December 22, 2025.
Hybrid physics and deep‐learning enabled design methods identified miniprotein binders to Flpp3 (Francisella‐like lipoprotein), a key virulence factor from Francisella tularensis. Multiple candidates with nanomolar to picomolar binding affinities were obtained using yeast surface display screening and further experimental optimization.
