Short amyloid peptides can act as efficient catalysts of neurotransmitter degradation, and libraries of short peptides can be used to identify core fragments present in larger proteins that might be linked to neurodegenerative diseases. Abstract We have shown that de novo designed peptides self‐assemble in the presence of copper to create ...

Phenylalanine ammonia lyases (PALs) were engineered to switch enantioselectivity, enabling hydroamination for the direct synthesis of electron‐deficient aromatic d‐amino acids (d‐AA). Structure‐guided engineering provided PAL variants with broad substrate scope, high activity, and excellent d‐selectivity, broadening the utility of PALs in asymmetric ...

Studies of α′,β′‐Epoxyketone Synthesis by Small‐Molecule Flavins and Flavoenzymes
A combined synthetic and biochemical approach links the flavoenzyme EpxF to three key steps in epoxomicin biosynthesis. Crystallography, mutagenesis, and 13C‐labeling complete the mechanistic picture of α′,β′‐epoxyketone formation and illustrate the potential of flavin‐mediated transformations.

Controlling enzyme activity with molecular precision remains a fundamental challenge. Here, we present a DNA‐based strategy for the dynamic and programmable regulation of enzyme function in response to arbitrary, user‐defined chemical cues. We report the development of single‐molecule DNA tweezers (SMDTs)—structures that can be programmed to bind and ...
