Scientists have designed a synthetic protein that is both a structural model and a functional model of a native protein, nitric-oxide reductase. The designed protein "provides an excellent model ...

Researchers have used rational design to create a synthetic metalloprotein with an active site that looks and acts like that of the native version. The working model of nitric oxide reductase (NOR) ...

A new technique allows researchers to create artificial metalloproteins that can catalyze reactions distinct from those of any natural protein. The technique could “expand the toolbox of biocatalytic ...

Copper is an essential transition metal that plays a fundamental role in the biochemistry of all aerobic organisms. Recent work elucidating the structural mechanisms of copper delivery to superoxide ...

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Liverpool, has produced structural movies of a key enzyme involved in a biological pathway of greenhouse gas production that offer new ...

Metalloproteins account for nearly half of all proteins in nature. Protein metal-binding sites are responsible for catalysing important biological processes, such as photosynthesis, respiration, water ...

Scientists have designed a synthetic protein that is both a structural model and a functional model of a native protein, nitric-oxide reductase. Scientists have designed a synthetic protein that is ...
