Gene Mining — enzyme discovery from a proteome

Mine enzymes for your target function from a proteome.

How it works

A five-stage funnel narrows a whole proteome down to a handful of confident, docked enzyme candidates — each stage annotated in this entry.

  1. 01

    CAZyme family annotation

    Identify the carbohydrate-active enzyme family each sequence belongs to.

  2. 02

    Homologous enzyme screening

    Align against known target enzymes to lock in homologous candidates.

  3. 03

    Signal peptide prediction + sequence de-redundancy

    Flag secreted enzymes and remove near-duplicate sequences.

  4. 04

    Structure refinement + molecular docking

    Predict binding pockets and score substrate binding.

  5. 05

    Structure prediction review + cross-validation

    Cross-verify the structure and scores of the highest-confidence candidates — including your own AlphaFold3 models.

What it does

Enzyme mining at proteome scale

Screen a whole proteome FASTA to surface candidate enzymes for one target catalytic function.

CAZyme annotation

Classify sequences into carbohydrate-active enzyme families before any downstream filtering.

Signal peptide & structure prediction

Flag secreted candidates, then predict confident structures (ipTM / pLDDT) for the survivors.

Molecular docking & cross-validation

Score substrate binding in the predicted pocket, then cross-check it with a second scoring function.

03

Input

Provide a proteome, optionally a reference enzyme and a substrate — then run the funnel.

Paste directly, or upload a file — it is read into this box locally and never leaves your browser.

Demo — runs against sample data on this page.

Pipeline progress

Each stage narrows the candidate pool. Run the funnel to watch it advance stage by stage.

    Results

    sample data

    Top 20 candidates, sorted and filtered below. Expand a card for structure, sequence, and docking details.

    06

    Workspace

    Save candidates to your workspace

    Each saved candidate becomes a reproducible entry with an Entry ID you can cite in your methods. Handoff to codon optimization and expression cassette design will prefill the selected sequence.

    Workspace integration arrives in a later task — this page is currently a front-end preview with sample data.
