A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

(Nanowerk News) Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure.

Many enzymes have non-canonical or non-enzymatic functions. Therefore, these enzymes can still be functional when their activity is compromised, such as after inhibition with an active site inhibitor ...
