Chimeric Streptavidins as Host Proteins for Artificial Metalloenzymes [PDF]
ACS Catalysis, 2018 The streptavidin scaffold was expanded with well-structured naturally occurring motifs. These chimeric scaffolds were tested as hosts for biotinylated catalysts as artificial metalloenzymes (ArM) for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, ring-closing metathesis and anion−π catalysis.
