Computational studies on the catalytic potential of the double active site for enzyme engineering

We’re excited to announce our latest publication in Nature Scientific Reports on proteins with double active sites, which could revolutionize enzyme design strategies. We have developed an AI-based tool which creates enzymes with multiple active sites, enhancing their functionality by incorporating diverse catalytic activities. For example, a transaminase enzyme can now also facilitate hydrolysis reactions....

In Silico Screening of Chlorogenic Acids from Plant Sources against Human Translocase-I to Identify Competitive Inhibitors to Treat Diabetes

Chlorogenic acids (CHLs) are known to competitively bind to translocase-I (T1) of the glucose-6-phosphatase (G6 Pase) system, thereby inhibiting the transport of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). This competitive binding results in a consequential reduction in blood sugar levels. In this study, steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulation is employed to investigate the interaction between T1 and G6P, aiming...
