Abstract:
Enzyme kinetics are fundamental for understanding metabolism, yet experimentally measured parameters remain scarce. To address this gap, we introduce GotEnzymes2, a substantially expanded resource covering 10 765 species, 7.3 million enzymes, and 59.6 million unique entries. Compared with the first version, GotEnzymes2 now integrates both catalytic and thermal parameters, enabling unified predictions of kcat, Km,kcat/Km, optimal temperature, and melting temperature. This expansion markedly broadens species and enzyme coverage, creating the most comprehensive database of enzyme kinetic and stability parameters to date. To construct the resource, we systematically benchmarked state-of-the-art models for catalytic and thermal parameter prediction, and incorporated the best-performing strategies to ensure accuracy and generalizability. Altogether, GotEnzymes2 provides the community with a powerful resource for data-driven enzyme discovery, design, and engineering, with broad applications in systems biology, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology. GotEnzymes2 is publicly accessible at https://metabolicatlas.org/gotenzymes.
