Scientists devise algorithm to create improved enzymes
Chemical structure for thiamine pyrophosphate and protein structure of transketolase. Cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate in yellow and substrate xylulose 5-phosphate in black. Credit: Thomas Shafee/Wikipedia Scientists have prototyped a new method for “rational engineering of enzymes” to deliver improved performance. They have created an algorithm, which takes into account the evolutionary history of an enzyme, to … Read more
