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...

Computational approaches for decoding structure-saltiness enhancement and aroma perception mechanisms of odorants: From machine learning to molecular simulation.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The unclear relationship between structure and saltiness enhancement limits the development and application of savory odorants. The structure characteristic-saltiness enhancement perception (SEP) mechanisms of savory odorants were investigated by mac...

Machine learning-guided multi-site combinatorial mutagenesis enhances the thermostability of pectin lyase.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Enhancing the thermostability of enzymes is crucial for industrial applications. Methods such as directed evolution are often limited by the huge sequence space and combinatorial explosion, making it difficult to obtain optimal mutants. In recent yea...

Improving the enzymatic activity and stability of N-carbamoyl hydrolase using deep learning approach.

Microbial cell factories
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 enzym...

Machine Learning Assisted Simultaneous Structural Profiling of Differently Charged Proteins in a Porin A (MspA) Electroosmotic Trap.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
The nanopore is emerging as a means of single-molecule protein sensing. However, proteins demonstrate different charge properties, which complicates the design of a sensor that can achieve simultaneous sensing of differently charged proteins. In this...

Enhancement of protein thermostability by three consecutive mutations using loop-walking method and machine learning.

Scientific reports
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 ...

Optimization of therapeutic antibodies by predicting antigen specificity from antibody sequence via deep learning.

Nature biomedical engineering
The optimization of therapeutic antibodies is time-intensive and resource-demanding, largely because of the low-throughput screening of full-length antibodies (approximately 1 × 10 variants) expressed in mammalian cells, which typically results in fe...

Recapitulating the Binding Affinity of Nrf2 for KEAP1 in a Cyclic Heptapeptide, Guided by NMR, X-ray Crystallography, and Machine Learning.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Macrocycles, including macrocyclic peptides, have shown promise for targeting challenging protein-protein interactions (PPIs). One PPI of high interest is between Kelch-like ECH-Associated Protein-1 (KEAP1) and Nuclear Factor (Erythroid-derived 2)-li...

One-shot optimization of multiple enzyme parameters: Tailoring glucose oxidase for pH and electron mediators.

Biotechnology and bioengineering
Enzymes are biological catalysts with many industrial applications, but natural enzymes are usually unsuitable for industrial processes because they are not optimized for the process conditions. The properties of enzymes can be improved by directed e...

Development and characterization of an α-l-rhamnosidase mutant with improved thermostability and a higher efficiency for debittering orange juice.

Food chemistry
The glycoside hydrolase, α-l-rhamnosidase, could remove the bitter taste of naringin from citrus juices. However, most α-l-rhamnosidases are easily deactivated at high temperatures, limiting the practice in debittering citrus juices. The V529A mutant...
