- Diverse crystalline protein scaffolds through metal‐dependent polymorphism Mantas Liutkus Ivan R. Sasselli Adriana L. Rojas Aitziber L. Cortajarena Protein Science AbstractAs protein crystals are increasingly finding diverse applications as scaffolds, controlled crystal polymorphism presents a facile strategy to form crystalline assemblies with controllable porosity with minimal to no protein engineering. Polymorphs of consensus tetratricopeptide repeat proteins with varying porosity were obtained through co‐crystallization with metal salts, exploiting the innate metal ion geometric requirements. A single structurally exposed negative amino acid cluster was responsible for metal coordination, despite the abundance of negatively charged residues. Density functional theory calculations showed that while most of the crystals were the most thermodynamically stable assemblies, some were kinetically trapped states. Thus, crystalline porosity diversity is achieved and controlled with metal coordination, opening a new scope in the application of proteins as biocompatible protein‐metal‐organic frameworks (POFs). In addition, metal‐dependent polymorphic crystals allow direct comparison of metal coordination preferences. 10.1002/pro.4971 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
