Using Data Science for Mechanistic Insights and Selectivity Predictions in a Non-Natural Biocatalytic Reaction

Hanna D. Clements et al.

Summary: The study proposes a strategy to explore the biocatalytic reaction space and gain insights into the molecular mechanisms driving enzymatic transformations. By analyzing the selectivity of an ene-reductase, GluER-T36A, statistical models were developed to predict selectivity in reactions with out-of-sample substrates and mutants. This approach enhances the understanding of enantioinduction and improves the virtual screening of enzyme mutants.

EnzyHTP: A High-Throughput Computational Platform for Enzyme Modeling

Qianzhen Shao et al.

Summary: Molecular simulations have been widely used in understanding enzyme catalysis and designing new enzymes. However, manual operation is usually required throughout the simulation process, making it challenging to simulate enzymes in a high-throughput manner. In this work, a Python software called EnzyHTP was developed to automate the entire workflow of enzyme modeling, improving the efficiency of computational enzyme modeling.

Molecular Dynamics-Derived Descriptor Informs the Impact of Mutation on the Catalytic Turnover Number in Lactonase Across Substrates

Yaoyukun Jiang et al.

Summary: In this study, molecular modeling-derived descriptors were used to predict the effect of mutations on the turnover number of lactonase SsoPox. The solvent-accessible surface area (SASA) ratio of the substrate to the active site pocket was identified as a top-ranked descriptor. The study suggests that this descriptor has the potential to guide the optimization of enzyme reaction turnover for non-native chemical transformations.

Natural Evolution Provides Strong Hints about Laboratory Evolution of Designer Enzymes

Wen Jun Xie et al.

Summary: Laboratory evolution combined with computational enzyme design allows the creation of novel biocatalysts. However, understanding how laboratory evolution optimizes designer enzymes through seemingly random mutations has been a challenge. This study relates the catalytic power of laboratory-evolved Kemp eliminases to the statistical energy (EMaxEnt) inferred from their natural homologous sequences. The results show that designed enzymes generated through directed evolution have increased activity and reduced stability, indicating a trade-off between stability and activity. In contrast, mutants in catalytic-active remote regions have strongly anticorrelated statistical energy with activity. These findings provide insight into the role of protein scaffolds in adapting to new enzymatic functions and suggest that the valley in the EMaxEnt landscape can guide enzyme design for abiological catalysis.

Fast approximative methods for study of ligand transport and rational design of improved enzymes for biotechnologies

Ondrej Vavra et al.

Summary: Acceleration of chemical reactions by protein-engineered enzymes is an important contribution of biotechnology to sustainability. Enzymes facilitate the exchange of ligands, ions, and water molecules between the active site and the external environment through tunnels and channels. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics are commonly used methods to study protein-ligand interactions and conformational changes. However, approximative methods have been developed to rapidly simulate binding/unbinding events and provide energy profiles for ligand ranking. This article critically compares these methods, showcases their results, discusses their applications in molecular biotechnology, and explores future developments.

Computational Prediction of ω-Transaminase Specificity by a Combination of Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Carlos Ramirez-Palacios et al.

Summary: A computational protocol for predicting the enantioselectivity and catalytic selectivity of an omega-TA from Vibrio fluvialis with different substrates has been presented and benchmarked against 62 compounds. The protocol combines molecular docking and MD simulations, ensuring accurate sampling of conformational space for predicting enantioselectivities. The framework has low computational cost and is feasible for enzyme design to screen thousands of enzyme variants.

Enzymatic control of endo- and exo-stereoselective Diels-Alder reactions with broad substrate scope

Lei Gao et al.

Summary: This study reports the discovery of two homologous groups of flavin-adenine-dinucleotide-dependent enzymes that catalyze intermolecular Diels-Alder reactions with high enantioselectivity on the same substrates. The crystal structure of an exo-selective Diels-Alderase was determined, and mutant enzymes were prepared to reverse the stereoselectivity from exo to endo. The research revealed two different catalytic mechanisms controlling the endo/exo selectivity in these enzymatic Diels-Alder reactions through a combination of structure-based comparison, computational, and mutational studies.

Directed Evolution: Methodologies and Applications

Yajie Wang et al.

Summary: Directed evolution aims to accelerate the natural evolution process of biological molecules and systems through gene diversification and library screening, serving as a powerful tool for engineering improved functions in proteins, metabolic pathways, and whole genomes. Common strategies include gene diversification, screening/selection methods, and continuous evolution, with applications in nucleic acids, proteins, pathways, genetic circuits, viruses, and cells. Challenges and future perspectives in directed evolution are also discussed.

Phage-Assisted Continuous Evolution and Selection of Enzymes for Chemical Synthesis

Krysten A. Jones et al.

Summary: Ligand-dependent biosensors have been developed to link enzymatic activity with the production of essential phage protein, enabling biocatalyst-dependent phage-assisted continuous evolution and selection. By combining phage-based evolution and library selection technologies, enzyme variants with improved and expanded catalytic properties have been successfully evolved. The genetic diversity resulting from a highly mutated PACS library is enriched for active enzyme variants with altered substrate scope, laying the foundation for engineering biocatalysts with novel substrate scope and reactivity.
