Profiling SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (M) Binding to Repurposed Drugs Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations in Classical and Neural Network-Trained Force Fields.

ACS combinatorial science
The current COVID-19 pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 urgently calls for a working therapeutic. Here, we report a computation-based workflow for efficiently selecting a subset of FDA-approved drugs that can potentially bind to the SA...

Evolutionary insights into the active-site structures of the metallo-β-lactamase superfamily from a classification study with support vector machine.

Journal of biological inorganic chemistry : JBIC : a publication of the Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry
The metallo-β-lactamase (MβL) superfamily, which is intriguing due to its enzyme promiscuity, is a good model enzyme superfamily for studies of catalytic function evolution. Our previous study traced the evolution of the phosphotriesterase activity o...

Discovery of Small-Molecule Activators for Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Using Machine Learning Approaches.

International journal of molecular sciences
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a ubiquitous cytoplasmic enzyme converting glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphogluconate in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). The G6PD deficiency renders the inability to regenerate glutathione due to lack...

High-level expression of Thermobifida fusca glucose isomerase for high fructose corn syrup biosynthesis.

Enzyme and microbial technology
Glucose isomerase (GIase), an efficient enzyme in the isomerization of d-glucose to d-fructose, has been widely used in food processing. In this study, an efficient expression system for a Thermobifida fusca GIase (GIase) in Escherichia coli was firs...

Novel Descriptors and Digital Signal Processing- Based Method for Protein Sequence Activity Relationship Study.

International journal of molecular sciences
The work aiming to unravel the correlation between protein sequence and function in the absence of structural information can be highly rewarding. We present a new way of considering descriptors from the amino acids index database for modeling and pr...

De Novo Molecular Design by Combining Deep Autoencoder Recurrent Neural Networks with Generative Topographic Mapping.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Here we show that Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) can be used to explore the latent space of the SMILES-based autoencoders and generate focused molecular libraries of interest. We have built a sequence-to-sequence neural network with Bidirection...

Mechanism of glucocerebrosidase activation and dysfunction in Gaucher disease unraveled by molecular dynamics and deep learning.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase-1 (GCase) catalyzes the cleavage of a major glycolipid glucosylceramide into glucose and ceramide. The absence of fully functional GCase leads to the accumulation of its lipid substrates in lysosomes, causing G...

Classification, substrate specificity and structural features of D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases: 2HADH knowledgebase.

BMC evolutionary biology
BACKGROUND: The family of D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases (2HADHs) contains a wide range of oxidoreductases with various metabolic roles as well as biotechnological applications. Despite a vast amount of biochemical and structural data...

A machine learning approach for reliable prediction of amino acid interactions and its application in the directed evolution of enantioselective enzymes.

Scientific reports
Directed evolution is an important research activity in synthetic biology and biotechnology. Numerous reports describe the application of tedious mutation/screening cycles for the improvement of proteins. Recently, knowledge-based approaches have fac...
