Probabilistic Mean Optimized Mutated Lanmodulin (PMO LanM)
Usage and Biology
Lanmodulin is recently a novel lanthanide binding protein from Methylobacterium extorquens that displays more than 100-million fold selectivity for rare earth elements [1]. Such affinity and selectivity have not been observed in any previously studied macromolecule. In addition, lanmodulin is extremely robust, capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 95 °C and pH levels as low as 2.5 [2]. Thus, allowing it to be the perfect molecular tool for us in an efficient rare earth recovery system.
We have mutated the lanmodulin sequence using a probabilistic mean optimized model to improve the binding capacity of lanmodulin's fourth binding pocket.
Design
Mutation was gained by using the dataset created for the Efhe Neural network. From the large dataset of EF hands we were able to identify a probabilistic ‘average’ EF hand. This could be considered the mean of the EF hand protein subspace. The protein selected was chosen due to it having the most common amino acid for each indice. This mutant poses an improvement on the WT protein as it has a higher likelihood of binding an additional lanthanide in its otherwise unable fourth pocket.
