DyME: An MD-based engine exploiting HTP mutagenesis for protein engineering and recognition mimicry.
Article in PLoS computational biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Protein recognition mimicry (PRM) is of great interest in the field of molecular bioengineering and rational design, with mutagenesis frequently employed to analyze the effects of altering amino acids involved in molecular recognition. The conformational and energetic effects of such alterations can be investigated in detail with the help of molecular dynamics (MD) methodologies. While existing MD-based computational tools can be used to explore a particular set of mutations at a time, suitable for small-scale studies, high-throughput (HTP) exploration of protein recognition for engineering purposes would greatly benefit from an integrative platform that streamlines preparation, mutagenesis, simulation and post-processing of up to several thousand molecular systems, along with robust tools for comprehensive and straightforward comparative analysis. DyME (Dynamic Mutagenesis Engine) is a distributed platform that enables systematic investigations of protein recognition mimicry by combining HTP mutagenesis, solvated MD simulations and a Toolbox for comparative analysis (TCA), including interfacial water-site mapping. DyME uses 3D structural information of any protein-protein or protein-DNA complex as input. Its automated MD-based mutagenesis engine facilitates systematic investigation of how site-specific alterations affect recognition, enabling the organization of single, double and triple modifications into combinatorial libraries for comprehensive comparative analysis. In DyME, relevant MD trajectory-derived data is scavenged and stored into a central database, providing aggregation capabilities that ease multi-feature analysis across an extensive collection of simulations. An interactive web-GUI and specialized widgets simplify preparation and efficient molecular and numerical comparative exploration. DyME's capabilities are evaluated using available experimental data. Its source code is available at https://github.com/pisabarro-group/DYME.
