Engineering of Substrate-Binding Domain to Improve Catalytic Activity of Chondroitin B Lyase with Semi-Rational Design [PDF]
Dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are dietary supplements that can be utilized as prophylactics against thrombus formation. Low-molecular-weight dermatan sulfate (LMWDS) is particularly advantageous due to its high absorbability.

Semi-rational Design of Target-binding Small Proteins for Cancer Treatment
Small proteins that have a high affinity for cancer cell surface markers can be promising cheap alternatives to antibodies (antibody mimetics). Various types of antibody mimetics have thus been extensively developed. We recently found that a target-binding peptide binds to its target molecule more strongly when it is structurally constrained.

Semi‐Rationally Designed Short Peptides Self‐Assemble and Bind Hemin to Promote Cyclopropanation
AbstractThe self‐assembly of short peptides gives rise to versatile nanoassemblies capable of promoting efficient catalysis. We have semi‐rationally designed a series of seven‐residue peptides that form hemin‐binding catalytic amyloids to facilitate enantioselective cyclopropanation with efficiencies that rival those of engineered hemin proteins. These
