contents Enzymes are biological catalysts that can accelerate chemical reactions compared to uncatalyzed reactions in aqueous environments. Their catalytic efficiency is quantified by the turnover number (kcat), a parameter in enzyme kinetics. Enhancing enzyme activity is important for optimizing slow chemical reactions, with far-reaching implications for both research and industrial applications. However, traditional wet-lab methods for measuring and optimizing enzyme activity are often resource-intensive and time-consuming. To address these limitations, we introduce kcatDiffuser, a novel regressor-guided diffusion model designed to predict and improve enzyme turnover numbers. Our approach innovatively reformulates enzyme mutation prediction as a protein inverse folding task, thereby establishing a direct link between structural prediction and functional optimization. kcatDiffuser is a graph diffusion model guided by a regressor, enabling the prediction of amino acid mutations at multiple random positions simultaneously. Evaluations on BERENDA dataset shows that kcatDiffuser can achieve a Δ log kcat of 0.209, outperforming state-of-the-art methods like ProteinMPNN, PiFold, GraDe-IF in improving enzyme turnover numbers. Additionally, kcatDiffuser maintains high structural fidelity with a recovery rate of 0.716, pLDDT score of 92.515, RMSD of 3.764, and TM-score of 0.934, demonstrating its ability to generate enzyme variants with enhanced activity while preserving essential structural properties. Overall, kcatDiffuser represents a more efficient and targeted approach to enhancing enzyme activity. The code is available at https://github.com/xz32yu/KcatDiffuser.
