Encyclopedia : T : TO : TOP : Top7

Top7 is an artificial 93-amino acid protein made by researchers at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The protein was designed ab initio on a computer with the help of protein structure prediction algorithms. X-ray crystallography on the protein after it was made, revealed that the structure was indeed very similar to the computer predicted structure.
