Abstract:
Current enzyme thermostability prediction models are predominantly designed for cross-family generalization, with limited focus on hydroxylases, which restricts their accuracy and applicability in hydroxylase-specific thermostability design. In this study, we develop HyS-BST, a dedicated self-trained semisupervised framework for hydroxylase thermostability prediction. Leveraging a limited hydroxylase data set, HyS-BST integrates a self-training strategy with Bayesian dynamic tuning to achieve high-precision prediction of mutant thermostability in terms of ΔΔG. Experimental results demonstrate that after only ten training iterations, HyS-BST attains a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.96, a Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) of 0.98, and a root mean squared error (RMSE) as low as 0.06 on the test set. Compared with the optimal cross-family generalization model, HyS-BST improves PCC and RMSE by approximately 70%. Overall, this framework provides a specialized, efficient, and cost-effective solution for hydroxylase thermostability prediction, substantially reducing the candidate search space and experimental resources required for downstream validation.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
