Protein language models trained on evolutionary data have emerged as powerful tools for predictive problems involving protein sequence, structure, and function. However, these overlook decades of research into biophysical factors governing We propose Mutational Effect Transfer Learning (METL), a model framework that unites advanced machine learning modeling. Using the METL framework, we pretrain transformer-based neural networks simulation to capture fundamental relationships between energetics. finetune experimental sequence-function harness signals apply them when predicting properties like thermostability, catalytic activity, fluorescence. excels in challenging engineering tasks generalizing from small training sets position extrapolation, although existing methods train remain many types assays. demonstrate METL's ability design functional green fluorescent variants only 64 examples, showcasing potential biophysics-based engineering.

In this study, we present the first example of using a machine learning (ML)-assisted design strategy to optimize synthesis formulation enzyme/ZIFs (zeolitic imidazolate framework) for enhanced performance. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were chosen as model enzymes, while Zn(eIM)2 (eIM = 2-ethylimidazolate) was selected ZIF test our ML-assisted workflow paradigm. Through an iterative ML-driven training-design-synthesis-measurement workflow, efficiently discovered GOx/ZIF (G151) HRP/ZIF (H150) with their overall performance index (OPI) values (OPI represents product encapsulation efficiency (E in %), retained enzymatic activity (A thermal stability (T %)) at least 1.3 times higher than those systematic seed data studies. Furthermore, advanced statistical methods derived from trained random forest qualitatively quantitatively reveal relationship among synthesis, structure, enzyme/ZIF system, offering valuable guidance future studies on enzyme/ZIFs. Overall, proposed holds promise accelerating development other enzyme immobilization systems biocatalysis applications beyond, including drug delivery sensing, others.
