Advances in Generative Modeling Methods and Datasets to Design Novel Enzymes for Renewable Chemicals & Fuels

Current Opinion in Biotechnology

This review paper aims to summarize the state of the art in generative models for protein design and how they can be applied to bioenergy applications, including the underlying architectures and training strategies. Additionally, it highlights the importance of high-quality datasets for training and evaluating generative models, organizes available datasets for generative protein design, and discusses the potential of applying generative models to strain design for bioenergy production.

KinMod database: a tool for investigating metabolic regulation

Database

In this paper, we introduce the KinMod database that encompasses more than 2 million data points on the metabolism and metabolic regulation network of 9814 organisms KinMod database employs a hierarchical data structure to: (i) signify relationships between kinetic information obtained through in-vitro experiments and proteins, with an emphasis on SMRN, (ii) provide a thorough insight into available kinetic parameters and missing experimental measurements of this regulatory network and (iii) facilitate machine learning approaches for parameter estimation and accurate kinetic model construction by providing a homogeneous list of linked omics data.

Deep Learning for Genome-scale Models

Deep learning has proven to be a powerful tool for extracting and learning information from large datasets. In my work, we leverage deep learning to fill gaps in genome-scale models, make them more representative, and apply new methods to strain design.

• Genome scale models (GEMs)
• Compound-protein interaction prediction
• Strain Design
