Enhancing protein thermal stability is important for biomedical and industrial applications as well as in the research laboratory. Here, we describe a simple machine-learning method which identifies amino acid substitutions that contribute to thermal...
De novo enzyme design has sought to introduce active sites and substrate-binding pockets that are predicted to catalyse a reaction of interest into geometrically compatible native scaffolds, but has been limited by a lack of suitable protein structur...
Biocatalysis has rapidly become an essential tool in the scientific and industrial communities for the development of efficient, safe, and sustainable chemical syntheses. Immobilization of the biocatalyst, typically an engineered enzyme, offers signi...
We developed a method to improve protein thermostability, "loop-walking method". Three consecutive positions in 12 loops of Burkholderia cepacia lipase were subjected to random mutagenesis to make 12 libraries. Screening allowed us to identify L7 as ...
Identification of thermostable and alkaline xylanases from different fungal and bacterial species have gained an interest for the researchers because of its biotechnological relevance in many industries, such as pulp, paper, and bioethanol. In this s...
Whole-cell biocatalysts could be used in wide-ranging applications. In this study, a new kind of whole-cell biocatalyst was successfully constructed by genetically immobilizing soybean seed coat peroxidase (SBP) on the cell surface of Yarrowia lipoly...
