AI Tool Achieves Breakthrough in Designing Enzymes for Biotechnology
In a major breakthrough, a team of scientists have developed an AI-based tool that can accurately predict the structure and function of enzymes. The tool, called E-CAT (Enzyme Conformational Assembly Tool), is able to identify the optimal conformation and substrate specificity of an enzyme based on its amino acid sequence. This could revolutionize the development of biotechnological processes, as it would drastically reduce the time and cost associated with enzyme engineering. The team behind the tool believe that this could lead to the development of more efficient enzymes that could be used to produce complex molecules for industrial processes.
