Restriction enzymes (REases) are commercial reagents commonly used in recombinant DNA technology. They are attractive models for studying protein-DNA interactions and are important targets for protein engineering. However, some restriction enzymes currently have no crystal structure and require homology modeling. Creative Enzymes provides you with a variety of restriction enzyme homology model generation service to meet your scientific research needs.
Creative Enzymes offer a one-stop restraint enzyme restriction enzyme homology model generation service that can meet your research needs for restriction enzyme research. Our modeling service is as follows:
We searched the database for templates with known restriction enzyme crystal structures and performed sequence comparisons using tools such as BLAST.
The similarity between the template sequence and the target sequence is greater than 30%.
The atomic coordinates of the template structure are applied to the target to generate the basic backbone of the backbone, and then the atomic positions of the backbone are adjusted to make the backbone structure conform to the principles of stereochemistry.
One approach is to model the ring structure based on known ring structures. Another approach is to predict it from scratch based on the principles of quantum chemistry.
The target sequence fragments are searched in the rotamer database to obtain similar fragments, then their side chain structures are constructed based on the spatial orientation of the fragments, and finally energy minimization is performed to find the lowest energy point, i.e., stable conformation.
In the 3D models obtained by the above process, there are usually unreasonable contacts between atoms, which need to be eliminated by methods such as simulated annealing and molecular dynamics.
The most commonly used evaluation criterion is the RMSD, which indicates the root mean square deviation of the corresponding atoms of the target and template proteins. It can also be submitted to the SAVES server for validation.
Creative Enzymes is a professional restriction enzyme homology model generation service provider. We are able to perform individual tests at the most precise level, as well as design and complete a suite of services as a solution to the subject project. Creative Enzymes has accumulated years of quintessence in the field of homology model generation service, helping our clients accelerate drug discovery and development and improve the overall success rate of their projects.
