Abstract
Thermostability of cellulases can be increased through amino acid substitutions and by protein engineering with predictors of protein thermostability. We have carried out a systematic analysis of the performance of 18 predictors for the engineering of cellulases. The predictors were PoPMuSiC, HoTMuSiC, I-Mutant 2.0, I-Mutant Suite, PremPS, Hotspot, Maestroweb, DynaMut, ENCoM ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], mCSM, SDM, DUET, RosettaDesign, Cupsat (thermal and denaturant approaches), ConSurf, and Voronoia. The highest values of accuracy, F-measure, and MCC were obtained for DynaMut, SDM, RosettaDesign, and PremPS. A combination of the predictors provided an improvement in the performance. F-measure and MCC were improved by 14% and 28%, respectively. Accuracy and sensitivity were also improved by 9% and 20%, respectively, compared to the maximal values of single predictors. The reported values of the performance of the predictors and their combination may aid research in the engineering of thermostable cellulases as well as the further development of thermostability predictors.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology aims to publish high quality, original research articles, expository tutorial papers and review papers as well as short, critical comments on technical issues associated with the analysis of cellular information.
The research papers will be technical presentations of new assertions, discoveries and tools, intended for a narrower specialist community. The tutorials, reviews and critical commentary will be targeted at a broader readership of biologists who are interested in using computers but are not knowledgeable about scientific computing, and equally, computer scientists who have an interest in biology but are not familiar with current thrusts nor the language of biology. Such carefully chosen tutorials and articles should greatly accelerate the rate of entry of these new creative scientists into the field.
