Journal ArticleDOI

Inferring protein 3D structure from deep mutation scans.

TL;DR: It is found that the strongest epistatic pairings from genetic screens of three proteins, a ribozyme and a protein interaction reveal 3D contacts within and between macromolecules, suggesting that genomics-based techniques can efficiently predict 3D structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplexed measurement of variant abundance and activity reveals VKOR topology, active site and human variant impact.

TL;DR: Functionally constrained regions of the protein define the active site, and it is found that, of four conserved cysteines putatively critical for function, only three are absolutely required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chimeric Fatty Acyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Thioesterases Provide Mechanistic Insight into Enzyme Specificity and Expression

TL;DR: The engineering of chimeric enzymes and characterizing their microbial activity and chain-length specificity suggested mechanistic insights into TE functions and also generated thioesterases with potentially useful properties that may inform a rational engineering of TEs to allow alkyl chain length control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring targeting peptide-shell interactions in encapsulin nanocompartments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize and engineer TP-shell interactions in the Thermotoga maritima and Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin systems using force-field modeling and particle fluorescence measurements.
