The ability to chemically control protein-protein interactions would allow the interrogation of dynamic cellular processes and lead to a better understanding and exploitation of self-assembling protein architectures. Here we introduce a new engineering strategy--reverse metal-templated interface redesign (rMeTIR)--that transforms a natural protein-protein interface into one that only engages in selective response to a metal ion ...
