Prediction of optimal pH in hydrolytic reaction of beta-glucosidase.
This is the continuation of our studies to use very basic information on enzyme to predict optimal reaction parameters in enzymatic reactions because the gap between available enzyme sequences and their available reaction parameters is widening. In this study, 23 features selected from 540 plus features of individual amino acid as well as a feature combined whole protein information were screened as independents in a 20-1 feedforward backpropagation neural network for predicting optimal pH in beta-glucosidase's hydrolytic reaction because this enzyme drew attention recently due to its role in biofuel industry. The results show that 11 features can be used as independents for the prediction, while the feature of amino acid distribution probability works better than the rest independents for the prediction. Our study paves a way to predict the optimal reaction parameters of enzymes based on the amino acid features of enzyme sequences.
