Abstract	We recently found that many residues in enzyme active sites can be computationally predicted by the optimization of scoring functions based on substrate binding affinity, subject to constraints on the geometry of catalytic residues and protein stability. Here, we explore the generality of this surprising observation. First, the impact of hydrogen-bonding networks necessary for catalysis on the accuracy of sequence optimization is assessed; incorporation of these networks, where relevant, into the set of catalytic constraints is found to be essential. Next, the impact of multiple substrate selectivity on sequence optimization is probed by carrying out independent calculations for complexes of deoxyribonucleoside kinases with various cognate ligands, revealing how simultaneous selection pressures determined active-site sequences of these enzymes. Including previous calculations on simpler enzymes, computational sequence optimization correctly predicts 76% of all active-site residues tested (86% correct, with 93% similar, for naturally conserved residues). In these studies, the ligand is fixed in its native conformation. To assess the applicability of these methods to de novo active-site design, the effect of small ligand motions around the native pose is also examined. Robustness of sequence accuracy for topologically similar poses is demonstrated for selected kinases, but not for a model peptidase. Based on these observations, we introduce the notion of the designability of an enzyme active site, a metric that may be used to guide the search for protein scaffolds suitable for the introduction of de novo activity for a desired chemical reaction.
