Use Case — Enzyme Engineering

From 10,000 candidates to five worth testing.

Enzyme engineering campaigns stall not because good mutations don't exist — they stall because screening every candidate is expensive and slow. ProtSynq collapses the variant space before you open a 96-well plate.

Computational workflow

The enzyme engineering workflow with ProtSynq

Step 01

Structure in

Upload your enzyme PDB or AlphaFold model. ProtSynq identifies the active site, the substrate-binding pocket, and all solvent-exposed positions that could affect thermostability without disrupting catalysis.

Step 02

Objective defined

Set your objective: thermostability uplift (ΔΔG stability negative), preserved catalytic activity (active site substitutions flagged), or both under a Pareto constraint. Specify any positions you want to exclude.

Step 03

Variants ranked

ProtSynq scores all single-residue substitutions and returns the top-5 ranked by predicted Tm uplift and confidence. You get the shortlist, the per-residue heatmap, and downloadable PDB diffs for each candidate.

What changes when you run the computation first

Internal evaluation against published enzyme engineering benchmarks. These reflect ProtSynq's performance on representative cases, not cherry-picked best-case outcomes.

< 4 hrs
Scan runtime
Time to score all single-substitution variants for a 350-residue enzyme on standard compute.
82%
Top-5 hit rate
Fraction of cases where the experimentally validated stabilizing mutation appears in ProtSynq's top-5.
95%
Library reduction
Typical reduction from full substitution landscape to a focused panel — from thousands of candidates to five.
