Abstract
Objective: Acidic and alkaline enzymes play crucial roles in the food industry and environmental management. This study aims to develop a computational method for accurately distinguishing between acidic and alkaline enzymes to enhance their stability in varying pH environments.
Methods: We employed AutoProp for feature extraction and the MRMD3.0 algorithm for feature selection. The most discriminative feature, the normalized Van der Waals volume (nFeat43), was identified and used for classification.
Results: The selected feature (nFeat43) achieved a classification accuracy of 76.2% in distinguishing acidic from alkaline enzymes. Further analysis was conducted to interpret the physicochemical significance of this feature in enzyme discrimination.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that nFeat43 is a key determinant in differentiating acidic and alkaline enzymes. This method provides a rapid and reliable computational approach for enzyme characterization, which could aid in industrial and environmental applications.
