Computational Identification of Amino-Acid Mutations That Further Improve the Activity of a Chalcone-Flavonone Isomerase From Glycine Max

This article discusses a computational approach that combines multiple sequence alignment, positive selection detection, and molecular docking to identify and design beneficial amino-acid mutations that further improve the intramolecular-cyclization activity of a chalcone-flavonone isomerase from Glycine max (GmCHI).
