Predicting enzyme turnover numbers (kcat) is crucial for understanding cellular processes. Existing machine learning models often lack generalizability. This paper introduces TurNuP, an organism-independent model that predicts kcat using reaction fingerprints and a modified Transfer Network model for protein sequences. TurNuP outperforms previous models and generalizes well to dissimilar enzymes. Integrating TurNuP predictions into metabolic models improves proteome allocation predictions. A TurNuP web server facilitates easy access to the model.
