Machine Learning Identifies Chemical Characteristics That Promote Enzyme Catalysis.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Despite tremendous progress in understanding and engineering enzymes, knowledge of how enzyme structures and their dynamics induce observed catalytic properties is incomplete, and capabilities to engineer enzymes fall far short of industrial needs. H...

Computational methods and tools to predict cytochrome P450 metabolism for drug discovery.

Chemical biology & drug design
In this review, we present important, recent developments in the computational prediction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolism in the context of drug discovery. We discuss in silico models for the various aspects of CYP metabolism prediction, includin...

Data-driven supervised learning of a viral protease specificity landscape from deep sequencing and molecular simulations.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Biophysical interactions between proteins and peptides are key determinants of molecular recognition specificity landscapes. However, an understanding of how molecular structure and residue-level energetics at protein-peptide interfaces shape these l...

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...

Discovering de novo peptide substrates for enzymes using machine learning.

Nature communications
The discovery of peptide substrates for enzymes with exclusive, selective activities is a central goal in chemical biology. In this paper, we develop a hybrid computational and biochemical method to rapidly optimize peptides for specific, orthogonal ...

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...

Predictable and precise template-free CRISPR editing of pathogenic variants.

Nature
Following Cas9 cleavage, DNA repair without a donor template is generally considered stochastic, heterogeneous and impractical beyond gene disruption. Here, we show that template-free Cas9 editing is predictable and capable of precise repair to a pre...

A computational method for prediction of xylanase enzymes activity in strains of Bacillus subtilis based on pseudo amino acid composition features.

PloS one
Xylanases are hydrolytic enzymes which based on physicochemical properties, structure, mode of action and substrate specificities are classified into various glycoside hydrolase (GH) families. The purpose of this study is to show that the activity of...

The use of marine-derived fungi for preparation of enantiomerically pure alcohols.

Applied microbiology and biotechnology
A highly enantioselective and minimally polluting approach to optically pure chiral alcohols is developed using cheap, readily available and sustainable marine-derived fungi as catalysts. An evaluation of the synthetic potential of 13 Chinese marine ...
