The present study aimed to investigate the decolorization of various commercial dyes by azoreductases (AzrBmH21, AzrBmH22/3, and AzrBmH24/5) through bioinformatics means, comprising molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and molecular mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA). Therefore, four commercial dyes, namely acid orange 7, cresol red, methylene blue, and malachite green, were selected as potential targets for degradation by the above said azoreductases derived from Bacillus megaterium H2. The prediction of ligand binding or catalytic sites for AzrBmH21, AzrBmH22/3, and AzrBmH24/5 were performed using a machine learning algorithm based on the Prank Web and DeepSite chemoinformatic tool. This analysis revealed that several amino acids of AzrBmH2 interacted with the tested dyes, indicating the presence of distinct ligand-binding sites for AzrBmH2-dye complexes. Likewise, the binding affinity for AzrBmH21, AzrBmH22/3, and AzrBmH24/5 ranged from − 9.4 to − 5.5 kcal/mol, − 9.2 to − 5.4 kcal/mol, and − 9.0 to − 5.4 kcal/mol, respectively, with each complex stabilized at a minimum of 0–5 hydrogen bonds. MD simulations revealed stable AzrBmH2-dye complexes with RMSD and RMSF values ranging from 0.15 to 0.42 nm and 0.05 to 0.48 nm, respectively, with Rg values between 1.75 and 1.88 nm. MM-PBSA calculations indicated that the AzrBmH2–dye complexes, except for AzrBmH2–malachite green, exhibited the lowest binding energy (− 191.05 ± 7.08 to 314.19 ± 6.88 kcal/mol), with prevalent hydrophobic interactions (− 268.25 ± 12.25 to − 418.92 ± 29.45 kcal/mol) through van der Waals forces. Therefore, this study was able to highlight the potential role of enzymes, specifically azoreductases from Bacillus megaterium H2, in predicting the decolorization of commercial dyes. These findings could contribute to our understanding of the azoreductases’ mechanisms in bioremediation and for biotechnological applications.
