1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Enzymes often by far exceed the activity, selectivity, and sustainability achieved with chemical catalysts. One of the main reasons for the lack of biocatalysis in the chemical industry is the poor stability exhibited by many enzymes when exposed to process conditions. This dilemma is exemplified in the usually very temperature-sensitive enzymes catalyzing the Baeyer-Villiger reaction, which display excellent stereo- and regioselectivity and offer a green alternative to the commonly used, explosive peracids. Here we describe a protein engineering approach applied to cyclohexanone monooxygenase from Rhodococcus sp. HI-31, a substrate-promiscuous enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the production of the nylon-6 precursor ε-caprolactone. We used a framework for rapid enzyme stabilization by computational libraries (FRESCO), which predicts protein-stabilizing mutations. From 128 screened point mutants, approximately half had a stabilizing effect, albeit mostly to a small degree. To overcome incompatibility effects observed upon combining the best hits, an easy shuffled library design strategy was devised. The most stable and highly active mutant displayed an increase in unfolding temperature of 13°C and an approximately 33x increase in half-life at 30°C. In contrast to the wild-type enzyme, this thermostable 8x mutant is an attractive biocatalyst for biotechnological applications.
