Role of electrostatics in cold adaptation: A comparative study of eury- and stenopsychrophilic triose phosphate isomerase.

Biochimica et biophysica acta. Proteins and proteomics
Psychrophilic (cold-active) organisms have developed enzymes that facilitate sufficient metabolic activity at low temperatures to sustain life. This occurs through molecular adaptations that tend to increase protein flexibility at the expense of stab...

Thermal Adaptation of Cytosolic Malate Dehydrogenase Revealed by Deep Learning and Coevolutionary Analysis.

Journal of chemical theory and computation
Protein evolution has shaped enzymes that maintain stability and function across diverse thermal environments. While sequence variation, thermal stability and conformational dynamics are known to influence an enzyme's thermal adaptation, how these fa...

Cloning, Characterization, and Computer-Aided Evolution of a Thermostable Laccase of the DUF152 Family From Klebsiella michiganensis.

Proteins
Bacterial laccases exhibit relatively high optimal reaction temperatures and possess a broad substrate spectrum, thereby expanding the range of potential applications for laccase enzymes. This study aims to investigate the molecular evolution of bact...

Tailoring industrial enzymes for thermostability and activity evolution by the machine learning-based iCASE strategy.

Nature communications
The pursuit of obtaining enzymes with high activity and stability remains a grail in enzyme evolution due to the stability-activity trade-off. Here, we develop an isothermal compressibility-assisted dynamic squeezing index perturbation engineering (i...

Precision Thermostability Predictions: Leveraging Machine Learning for Examining Laccases and Their Associated Genes.
