Title:
METHOD FOR DESIGNING DNA-BINDING PROTEINS OF THE ZINC-FINGER CLASS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999042474
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention is directed to the design of DNA-binding proteins (DBP's) with capabilities of binding to any predetermined target double-stranded DNA sequence. Disclosed are the rules for design of the proteins; an algorithm for screening for the optimal DBP's; a computer system employing the rules and the algorithm; general formulae encompassing the proteins; and methods of use of the proteins.
