AlphaFold2 and Deep Learning for Elucidating Enzyme Conformational Flexibility and Its Application for Design

Guillem Casadevall et al.

Summary: The recent success of AlphaFold2 (AF2) and other deep learning tools in accurately predicting the folded three-dimensional structure of proteins and enzymes has revolutionized the field of structural biology and protein design. However, understanding enzymatic activity requires detailed knowledge of the chemical steps involved in the catalytic cycle and the exploration of the multiple conformations that enzymes adopt in solution. This Perspective highlights the potential of AF2 in elucidating the conformational landscape of enzymes and discusses key developments in AF2-based and deep learning methods for protein design, as well as several enzyme design cases. These studies demonstrate the potential of AF2 and deep learning for routine computational design of efficient enzymes.
