Ensemble-based enzyme design can recapitulate the effects of laboratory directed evolution in silico

Kemp eliminases are artificial enzymes that catalyze the concerted deprotonation and ring-opening of benzisoxazoles. Here, the authors use room-temperature X-ray crystallography to investigate changes to the conformational ensemble of the Kemp eliminase HG3 along a directed evolutionary trajectory,...
