Abstract
Phylogenetic analysis is widely used to predict enzyme function, yet building annotated and reusable trees is labor-intensive and requires extensive knowledge about the specific enzymes. Existing resources rarely cover biosynthetic enzymes and lack the context needed for meaningful analysis.We present PhyloNaP, the first large-scale resource dedicated to phylogenies of biosynthetic enzymes. PhyloNaP provides ∼51,000 annotated and interactive trees enriched with chemical, functional, and taxonomic information. Users can classify their own sequences via phylogenetic placement, enabling functional inference in an evolutionary context. A contribution portal allows the community to submit curated trees. By combining scale, breadth of annotation, and interactive functionality, PhyloNaP fills a major gap in bioinformatics resources for enzyme discovery and annotation, with immediate applications to secondary metabolism and beyond.
