Biomolecular simulation based machine learning models accurately predict sites of tolerability to the unnatural amino acid acridonylalanine
Abstract The incorporation of unnatural amino acids (Uaas) has provided an avenue for novel chemistries to be explored in biological systems. However, the successful application of Uaas is often hampered by site-specific impacts on protein yield and solubility. Although previous efforts to identify...
