## Abstract
25+
Enzyme Motif Miner, EnzyMM for short, is a computational tool to identify catalytic
26+
sites in protein structures. It searches protein structures provided by the user
27+
against a database of templates. EnzyMM ships with a library of catalytic templates
28+
derived from the Mechanism and Catalytic Site Atlas (M-CSA) but you can also
29+
generate your own. These templates represent consensus arrangements of catalytic sites
30+
found in active sites of experimental protein structures.
31+
By comparing the geometric orientation of amino acids, rather than relying on sequence
32+
similarity, our approach is very fast while remaining interpretable.
33+
We can uncover distant relationships between enzymes, suggesting how functions
34+
may have evolved. Keeping pace with structure prediction, this method is well
35+
suited for annotating catalytic sites across entire proteomes.
36+
37+
Enzyme Motif Miner is implemented in [Python](https://www.python.org/), supports all versions from [Python 3.7](https://endoflife.date/python) and is provided under an [MIT Licence](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit).

41+
For the actual geometric matching EnzyMM relies on [PyJess](https://github.com/althonos/pyjess) - a [Cython](https://cython.org/) wrapper of [Jess](https://github.com/iriziotis/jess).

If you just want to try EnzyMM we provide a webserver at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/m-csa/enzymm .
