A Conserved Isoleucine Gates the Diffusion of CO and O2 to the Active Site of NiFe CO‐Dehydrogenase
A combination of protein film electrochemistry and site‐directed mutagenesis shows that isoleucine 563 (numbering of Thermococcus sp. AM4) gates the arrival of both CO and O2 to the active site of the nickel‐iron CO dehydrogenases. Mutations at this position increase the resistance to O2 at the cost of a slower reaction with CO.

Genome mining of atypical condensation (C) domains leads to the discovery of myxoglucamides, glycolipopeptides featuring an unprecedented vinyl‐substituted, α‐oxidized γ‐amino acid. Biosynthetic studies reveal a discrete C‐domain‐like O‐acyltransferase, a β‐hydroxylation‐dependent chain‐extension checkpoint, and an unusual pathway for γ‐amino acid ...

Substrate‐Dependent Crosslinking by the Cytochrome P450 From Aminopyruvatide Biosynthesis
Substitutions in the aminopyruvatide precursor peptide altered the C─C linkage formed from a YLY motif by the P450 ApyO to a N─C linkage in a WLY motif. Moreover, constitutional isomers crosslinked by C─C and C─O linkages were formed from YYY or YWY motifs. ABSTRACT Cytochrome P450s catalyze an array of reactions including crosslinking of aromatic side

Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators
The paper describes the serendipitous discovery of chemical manipulation allowing the activator‐to‐inhibitor switching in Kv7.2 channel modulators. The molecular determinants driving this switch have been rationalized by multidisciplinary investigation encompassing synthetic and analytical chemistry, in silico methods, cryo‐EM analysis ...
