We used deep mutational scanning of a soluble fragment of human basigin to systematically characterize point mutations that enhance basigin affinity for RH5 and then used Rosetta to design a variant within the sequence space of affinity-enhancing mutations. The resulting seven-mutation design exhibited 1900-fold higher affinity (K<sub>D</sub> approximately 1 nM) for RH5 with a very slow binding off rate (0.23 h<sup>-1</sup> ) and reduced the effective Plasmodium growth-inhibitory concentration by at least 10-fold compared to human basigin.
