For the first time, researchers have succeeded in predicting how to change the optimum temperature of an enzyme using large computer calculations. A cold-adapted enzyme from an Antarctic bacterium was used as a basis. The study was published in the journal Science Advances and is a collaboration between researchers at Uppsala University and the University of Tromsø.

The type of cold-adapted enzymes used by the researchers for their study can be found in bacteria and fish that live in icy water, for example.
