Abstract

Bioremediation utilizes microbes to control environmental pollution, primarily through diverse enzymatic processes. With the incorporation of computation in biological experimentation, bioremediation has also been influenced by computational techniques. Molecular docking assay is one such pedestal of computational assisted bioremediation, which has been elaborated in this chapter. It helps in inferring whether the active site accommodate the pollutant molecules or not, depending on the stearic hindrance of the residues and nature of the active site pocket. The spotting of consequential active site residues and binding characteristics of compounds under study can conceivably be employed for site-directed mutagenic testing. From a vantage point, no one had expected such a remarkable usefulness of molecular docking assay for environmental research. Positive shades of low cost and efficiency, combined with eco-friendliness have made it a valuable method for analyzing biodegradative properties of enzymes responsible for pollution remediation.
