Enzymes play an important role in organic synthesis thanks to their high selectivity, however, such selectivity limits their substrate scope and hampers their wide application. Here, the authors report an approach to rationally select enzymes with proposed functionalities based on sequence analysis, exploring the substrate scope of 4-phenol oxidases by in silico sequence-function correlation analysis.
