Synthetic protein scaffolds provide modular control over metabolic flux

TL;DR: In this article, synthetic protein scaffolds bearing interaction domains from metazoan signaling proteins were used to spatially recruit metabolic enzymes in a designable manner, and the modularity of these domains enabled them to optimize the stoichiometry of three mevalonate biosynthetic enzymes recruited to a synthetic complex.
