Advances in generative modeling methods and datasets to design novel enzymes for renewable chemicals and fuels.

Biotechnology has revolutionized the development of sustainable energy sources by harnessing biomass as a feedstock for energy production. However, challenges such as recalcitrant feedstocks and inefficient metabolic pathways hinder the large-scale integration of renewable energy systems. Enzyme engineering has emerged as a powerful tool to address these challenges by enhancing enzyme activity, specificity, and stability.
