Thermostability is a key factor for the industrial application of enzymes. This review categorizes enzymes by their applications and discusses the importance of engineering thermostability for practical use. It summarizes fundamental theories and recent advancements in enzyme thermostability modification, including directed evolution, semi-rational design, and rational design. Directed evolution uses high-throughput screening to generate random mutations, while semi-rational design combines hotspot identification with screening. Rational design focuses on key residues to enhance stability by improving rigidity, foldability, and reducing aggregation. The review also covers rational strategies like engineering folding energy, surface charge, machine learning methods, and consensus design, along with tools that support these approaches. Practical examples are critically assessed to highlight the benefits and limitations of these strategies. Finally, the challenges and potential contributions of artificial intelligence in enzyme thermostability engineering are discussed.

d-Allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase) derived from has excellent properties in the catalytic production of d-allulose, a rare sugar with unique biological functions. However, the industrial application of DAEase (Cb-DAEase) for d-allulose production is hindered by its low enzyme activity, poor long-term thermostability, and pH tolerance. In this study, we identified potential noncatalytic residues in Cb-DAEase using methods such as proline substitution, surface charge engineering, and surface residue prediction.

Glucose isomerase is generally used in the industrial production of high-fructose corn syrup, and a heat- and acid-resistant glucose isomerase is preferred. However, most glucose isomerases exhibit low activity or inactivation at low pH. In this study, we demonstrated that two combination mutants formed by introducing positive and negative charges near the active site and on the surface of the enzyme demonstrated a successful reduction in the optimal pH and increase in the specific activity of glucose isomerase from Thermotoga maritima (TMGI).

The use of green fluorescence protein (GFP) has advanced numerous areas of life sciences. An ultra-thermostable GFP (TGP), engineered from a coral GFP, offers potential advantages over traditional jellyfish-derived GFP because of its high stability. However, owing to its later discovery, TGP lacks the extensive toolsets available for GFP, such as heavy chain-only antibody binders known as nanobodies.
