Noncovalent interactions play a crucial role in cellular processes, and by taking inspiration from natural systems, we can design directed evolution platforms to generate proteins that bind to specific biomolecules. Recent advancements have expanded the range of interactions that can be evolved.
Noncovalent interactions between biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids coordinate all cellular processes through changes in proximity. Tools that perturb these interactions are and will continue to be highly valuable for basic and translational scientific endeavors. By taking cues from natural systems, such as the adaptive immune system, we can design directed evolution platforms that can generate proteins that bind to biomolecules of interest. In recent years, the platforms used to direct the evolution of biomolecular binders have greatly expanded the range of types of interactions one can evolve. Herein, we review recent advances in methods to evolve protein-protein, protein-RNA, and protein-DNA interactions.
