The Discovery Institute, an ID thinktank, has a list of “Peer-Reviewed & Peer-Edited Scientific Publications Supporting the Theory of Intelligent Design.” On this list is an article authored by Michael Behe, alleging to prove the irreducible complexity of certain protein binding sites. However, his experiment demonstrated the exact opposite point as intended. He had to rig his study to an incredible degree, only to fall short nonetheless.
Behe's article, "Simulating evolution by gene duplication of protein features that require multiple amino acid residues" ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2286568
