Synthetic Enzymes Derived From Computational Design

View page
US Patent:
20090191607, Jul 30, 2009
Filed:
Dec 12, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/334360
Inventors:
David Baker - Seattle WA, US
Alexandre Zanghellini - Seattle WA, US
Lin Jiang - Seattle WA, US
Andrew Wollacott - Cambridge MA, US
Eric Althoff - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
University of Washington - Seattle WA
International Classification:
C12N 9/14
US Classification:
435195
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are techniques for computationally designing enzymes. These techniques can be used to design variations of naturally occurring enzymes, as well as new enzymes having no natural counterparts. The techniques are based on first identifying functional reactive sites required to promote the desired reaction. Then, hashing algorithms are used to identify potential protein backbone structures (i.e., scaffolds) capable of supporting the required functional sites. These techniques were used to design 32 different protein sequences that exhibited aldol reaction catalytic function, 31 of which are defined in the Sequence Listing. Details of these 31 different synthetic aldolases are provided, including descriptions of how such synthetic aldolases can be differentiated from naturally occurring aldolases.
