De novo protein design is initiated with a postulated or known flexible threedimensional protein structure and aims at identifying amino acid sequences compatible with such a structure. The problem was first denoted as the "inverse folding problem" [4, 5] since protein design has intimate links to the well-known protein folding problem [6]. While the protein folding problem aims at determining the single structure for a sequence, the de novo protein design problem exhibits a high level of degeneracy; that is, a large number of sequences are always found to share a common fold, although the sequences will vary with respect to properties such as activity and stability.
