Integrating structure-based machine learning and co-evolution to investigate specificity in plant sesquiterpene synthases.

Sesquiterpene synthases (STSs) catalyze the formation of a large class of plant volatiles called sesquiterpenes. While thousands of putative STS sequences from diverse plant species are available, only a small number of them have been functionally characterized. Sequence identity-based screening for...
