Significance A major mechanism of evolution involves fusing genes that encode single-domain proteins to create multidomain structures that achieve new functions. Here, we develop methods to design multidomain proteins entirely from scratch and achieve the premier de novo design of an allosterically regulated phenol oxidase that responds to the binding of a synthetic porphyrin.
