Fast yet accurate routine rational design of novel enzymes
Life could not be sustained without the presence of enzymes, which are responsible for accelerating the chemical reactions in a biologically compatible timescale. Enzymes present other advantageous features such as high specificity and selectivity, plus they operate under very mild biological conditions. Inspired by these extraordinary characteristics, many scientists wondered about the possibility of designing new enzymes for industrially-relevant targets. Unfortunately, none of the current enzyme design strategies is able to rapidly design tailor-made enzymes at a reduced cost. This is limiting the general routine application of enzyme catalysis in industry, and thus the chemical…
