The mutual relationship between peptides and metal ions enables metalloproteins to have crucial roles in biological systems, including structural, sensing, electron transport, and catalytic functions. The effort to reproduce or/and enhance these roles, or even to create unprecedented functions, is the focus of protein design, the first step toward the comprehension of the complex machinery of nature. Nowadays, protein design allows the building of sophisticated scaffolds, with novel functions and exceptional stability...
