説明

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>This paper reports a large-scale collaborative study of an approach for predicting the function of chain elongation prenyltransferases from genetic data. A diverse set of genes for enzymes in the isoprenoid synthase superfamily was identified for cloning, expression, X-ray structural analysis, and prediction of function by docking to homology models. Blind predictions, later verified biochemically, were accurate to within one isoprene unit for all but a few of the 74 enzymes studied, an extraordinarily high level of prediction given that the enzymes often give products whose chain lengths vary by one isoprene unit.</jats:p>
