CASE STUDY
How we obtained improved variants of an enzyme (through in silico modeling) without structural data
In August 2020 we started a collaboration with a customer from the Biotech sector who wanted to increase the activity and specificity of an enzyme for a target substrate.
However, we were facing an outstanding situation. Our customer’s project enzyme had:
- No known crystal structure
- Very few known sequences similar to the wild-type, hindering the use of sequence-based tools
- Unavailability of appropriate templates to build a good quality homology model
When we met with our customer, they had already performed…
