Abstract

Shrestha et al. use a residue-based pharmacophore as a computational approach to design mutations for the interface of HVEM to make it selective to one or two of its three cognate ligands. In cell assay experiments, 15 of the 25 designed single and double point mutants proved to introduce statistically significant selectivity.
