dc.description.abstract© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Understanding the relationship between protein sequence and structure well enough to design new proteins with desired functions is a longstanding goal in protein science. Here, we show that recurring tertiary structural motifs (TERMs) in the PDB provide rich information for protein-peptide interaction prediction and design. TERM statistics can be used to predict peptide binding energies for Bcl-2 family proteins as accurately as widely used structure-based tools. Furthermore, design using TERM energies (dTERMen) rapidly and reliably generates high-affinity peptide binders of anti-apoptotic proteins Bfl-1 and Mcl-1 with just 15%–38% sequence identity to any known native Bcl-2 family protein ligand. High-resolution structures of four designed peptides bound to their targets provide opportunities to analyze the strengths and limitations of the computational design method. Our results support dTERMen as a powerful approach that can complement existing tools for protein engineering.en_US
