Abstract excerpt
An automated, active site-focused, computational method is described for use in predicting the effects of engineered amino acid mutations on enzyme catalytic activity. The method uses structure-based function descriptors (Fuzzy Functional Forms trade mark or FFFs trade mark ) to automatically identify enzyme functional sites in proteins. Three-dimensional sequence profiles are created from the surrounding active...
