New US pattent number 8,580,932 was issued on December 12, 2013:
Thermostabilization of a protein where the protein contains access routes and wherein at least one amino acid in the bottleneck of the access route is mutated, includes identifying the amino acids of the bottleneck and the amino acids control exchange of the solvent between a buried protein core and surrounding environment and/or in the packing of the amino acids inside the access route. Modification of the amino acids are determined so that the packing of the amino acids inside the tunnel is improved and the access route prevents access of undesired solvent molecules to the protein core, while allowing passage of the compounds necessary at the protein core to enable the protein to perform its biological function.
New article called Computational tools for designing and engineering enzymes was published in the Current Opinion in Chemical Biology journal.
Today we proudly announce the release of CAVER Analyst 1.0 - a novel analytic tool for interactive analysis and visualization of tunnels and channels in protein structures developed in cooperation between CaverSoft, Ltd., Masaryk University and University of West Bohemia.
