Web-based tools for computational enzyme design

Abstract: Enzymes are on high demand for very diverse biotechnological applications. However, natural biocatalysts often need to be engineered for fine-tuning their properties towards the end applications, such as the activity, selectivity, stability to temperature or co-solvents, and solubility. Computational methods are increasingly used in this task, providing predictions that narrow down the space of possible mutations significantly and can enormously reduce the experimental burden. Many computational tools are avai… Show more

“…The extension of such approaches would also need setting-up very high throughput screening assays, which remains challenging. A support from computational protein design definitely makes sense in this context [ 203 , 204 , 205 ].…”

“…Finally, we use Aggrescan3D ( Kuriata et al. , 2019 ) to calculate an aggregation propensity score for protein structures, as aggregation is a common failure mode for designed and engineered proteins ( Marques et al. , 2021 ).…”

“…While the earliest attempts at computational enzyme design focused primarily on side-chain positioning [1][2][3][4] or on focusing the search space for in vitro directed evolution (see Glossary) studies [5], subsequent work broadly expanded the scope of the field, including the fully de novo design of new enzymes [6] (typically followed by optimization using directed evolution) and the repurposing of existing enzymes to catalyze ever more complex chemical reactions [7,8]. In addition, computational design approaches are becoming ever-more streamlined, such that there now exists a range of powerful web servers that can assist in the design process [9].…”
