Antibiotic resistance driven by {beta}-lactamases has become a major threat to public health. Here, we propose a computational protocol for rapid estimation of {beta}-lactamase activity towards carbapenem antibiotics from sequence alone. Starting from AI-predicted acylenzyme complexes, only approximate transition state ensembles are sampled to compute catalytic electric fields, which strongly correlate with experimental activation barriers (R2 = 0.8). Compared with full quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) reaction simulations, the protocol substantially reduces the amount of configurational sampling and thus computational cost. Our protocol enables efficient identification of carbapenem breakdown efficiency, further highlighting the important role of electric fields in enzyme catalysis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
