Protein engineers use the term to refer to a domain or small protein that is the object of mutation intended to introduce or refine a property, while retaining. Frangakis, Cluster of Excellence Macromolecular Complexes, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt, Institute of Biophysics, Max-von-Laue-Str. Scaffold, anchoring, and adaptor proteins coordinate the assembly and localization of signaling complexes providing efficiency and specificity in signal.

The best-known example of scaffold protein is MEKK1 protein. A scaffold ideally permits the attachment, differentiation, and maturation of cells in a specified manner, mimicking the 3D cytoarchitecture of meat while. After binding, the scaffold protein tethers these multiple proteins into complexes.
