Due to their high intrinsic complexity, it is often difficult to understand how enzymes function and control the selectivity of numerous reactions. In spite of the fact that there has been an enormous progress in the field of experimental protein design and engineering, there are still many vital aspects that remain poorly understood. It is crucial to
(a) develop computational protocols that can reliably describe and predict enzymatic function,
(b) identify the mechanistic aspects and molecular determinants of the enzymatic process and
(c) develop computational tools that can efficiently scan sequence space in the search for optimal biocatalysts.
