Combining substrate specificity analysis with support vector classifiers reveals feruloyl esterase as a phylogenetically informative protein group.

BACKGROUND: Our understanding of how fungi evolved to develop a variety of ecological niches, is limited but of fundamental biological importance. Specifically, the evolution of enzymes affects how well species can adapt to new environmental conditions. Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) are enzymes able to...
