Abstract

BACKGROUND: Optically active D-amino acids are widely used as intermediates in the synthesis of antibiotics, insecticides, and peptide hormones. Currently, the two-enzyme cascade reaction is the most efficient way to produce D-amino acids using enzymes DHdt and DCase, but DCase is susceptible to heat inactivation. Here, to enhance the enzymatic activity and thermal stability of DCase, a rational design software "Feitian" was developed based on k prediction using the deep learning approach.
