Does anyone have experience with computational tools that would allow prediction of novel substrates for a given class of enzymes? For example, something that good give confidence in predicting novel combinations of enzymes/substrates. A requirement is that the substrate is turned over by the enzyme with the same chemical modifications occurring in the novel substrate as occurs in the known substrate.
I have found: https://github.com/AlexanderKroll/ESP https://esp.cs.hhu.de/
But I have not used this tool. Thank you.

have you try DeepEC before? actually this tool is not directly show you the novel substrate, but based on protein sequence that you input, this tool can make a prediction about EC number and based on this, the novel substrate might be discovered.
hakimbazol Thankyou for our input. Sorry about the late reply. Was off-line a bit with the Thanksgiving holiday. Looks promising. Have you tried ESP? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-38347-2 I have not but looking for people who have used it.
It is just a new tool for me, so I did not use it yet. However, DeepEC has been used several times I think, so I think it also means the robustness of the DeepEC.
