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...

Evolutionary Probability and Stacked Regressions Enable Data-Driven Protein Engineering with Minimized Experimental Effort.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Protein engineering through directed evolution and (semi)rational approaches is routinely applied to optimize protein properties for a broad range of applications in industry and academia. The multitude of possible variants, combined with limited scr...

Neural network extrapolation to distant regions of the protein fitness landscape.

Nature communications
Machine learning (ML) has transformed protein engineering by constructing models of the underlying sequence-function landscape to accelerate the discovery of new biomolecules. ML-guided protein design requires models, trained on local sequence-functi...

Machine learning-guided co-optimization of fitness and diversity facilitates combinatorial library design in enzyme engineering.

Nature communications
The effective design of combinatorial libraries to balance fitness and diversity facilitates the engineering of useful enzyme functions, particularly those that are poorly characterized or unknown in biology. We introduce MODIFY, a machine learning (...

Context-aware geometric deep learning for protein sequence design.

Nature communications
Protein design and engineering are evolving at an unprecedented pace leveraging the advances in deep learning. Current models nonetheless cannot natively consider non-protein entities within the design process. Here, we introduce a deep learning appr...

EnzyACT: A Novel Deep Learning Method to Predict the Impacts of Single and Multiple Mutations on Enzyme Activity.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Enzyme engineering involves the customization of enzymes by introducing mutations to expand the application scope of natural enzymes. One limitation of that is the complex interaction between two key properties, activity and stability, where the enha...

Zero-shot prediction of mutation effects with multimodal deep representation learning guides protein engineering.

Cell research
Mutations in amino acid sequences can provoke changes in protein function. Accurate and unsupervised prediction of mutation effects is critical in biotechnology and biomedicine, but remains a fundamental challenge. To resolve this challenge, here we ...

Machine learning-aided engineering of a cytochrome P450 for optimal bioconversion of lignin fragments.

Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP
Using machine learning, molecular dynamics simulations, and density functional theory calculations we gain insight into the selectivity patterns of substrate activation by the cytochromes P450. In nature, the reactions catalyzed by the P450s lead to ...

Advancing microbial production through artificial intelligence-aided biology.

Biotechnology advances
Microbial cell factories (MCFs) have been leveraged to construct sustainable platforms for value-added compound production. To optimize metabolism and reach optimal productivity, synthetic biology has developed various genetic devices to engineer mic...

Machine learning in biological physics: From biomolecular prediction to design.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Machine learning has been proposed as an alternative to theoretical modeling when dealing with complex problems in biological physics. However, in this perspective, we argue that a more successful approach is a proper combination of these two methodo...
