Engineering nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) has been a “holy grail” in synthetic biology due to their modular nature and limited understanding of catalytic mechanisms. Here, we reported computational redesign the “gate-keeper” adenylation domain model NRPS-like enzyme carboxylic acid reductases (CARs) by using approximate mechanism-based geometric criteria Rosetta energy score. Notably, Mab CAR3 mutants ACA-1 ACA-4 displayed remarkable improvement efficiency ( k cat / K M ) for 6-aminocaproic acid, up 101-fold. Furthermore, G418K exhibited an 86-fold enhancement substrate specificity adipic compared acid. Our work provides not only promising biocatalysts nylon monomer biosynthesis but also strategy efficient NRPSs engineering.
