This doctoral work is part of the Never Born Protein project. It is based on idea that the proteins existing in our Earth are only an infinitesimal fraction of the all possible sequences. To use an analogy to explain the relationship between existing and possible proteins, we can say that the ratio between them corresponds roughly to the ratio between the Sahara desert and a single grain of sand. Given the vast number of possible sequences, Nature could not have explored all possible amino acid combinations. Therefore, we are faced with the problem of how the “few” extant proteins were produced and/or selected: do extant proteins possess any special chemico-physical properties (such as solubility, fold, functionality, thermodynamic stabilit...
