DESCRIPTION:Harnessing enzymatic functions and their catalytic properties c
 an help unlock green applications in industries like pharmaceuticals and a
 griculture. Revealing enzymatic function can be done using both sequence-b
 ased and activity-based methods.\n\nIn this webinar we will talk about:\n\
 n- **Protein databases in MGnify\, searching and accessing:** How to acces
 s and explore protein sequences available through MGnify Proteins and how 
 this resource can support sequence-based bioprospecting.\n\n- **Identifyin
 g novel proteins for plastic degradation:** How metagenomic protein sequen
 ce data can be used to identify novel enzymes with the potential to degrad
 e plastics.\n\n- **Exploring\, beyond single enzymes\, complex functions t
 hrough functional metagenomics**: This part of the webinar will introduce 
 the core workflow of functional metagenomics as a powerful tool for unbias
 ed gene discovery. Through diverse case studies\, it will explore how this
  approach goes beyond simple enzyme screening to uncover complex mechanism
 s like stress resistance mechanisms\, quorum quenching or biofilm formatio
 n.\n\nThis event is part of the broader "[**Exploring and harnessing marin
 e microbiomes for a sustainable blue bioeconomy**](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/t
 raining/events/exploring-and-harnessing-marine-microbiomes-sustainable-blu
 e-bioeconomy/)" webinar series. You can follow the link for more informati
