Computational Approaches for Understanding and Redesigning Enzyme Catalysis by Karvelis, Elijah

“…In this thesis, I address these shortcomings by developing and demonstrating computational strategies comprised of techniques spanning statistical mechanics, machine learning, and protein design, and I apply them to the enzyme ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI), whose economic viability for the production of isobutanol would be strengthened by enhancing its activity on one of its two native substrates: 2-acetolactate (ACL). …”
