Artificial Metalloenzymes for Enantioselective Catalysis Based on the Biotin-Avidin Technology

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2008
Artificial metalloenzymes, based on the incorporation of a biotinylated catalytically active organometallic moiety within streptavidin, offer an attractive alternative to homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic catalysis.

The NOX Family of Proteins Is Also Present in Bacteria

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Transmembrane NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzymes have been so far only characterized in eukaryotes. In most of these organisms, they reduce molecular oxygen to superoxide and, depending on the presence of additional domains, are called NOX or dual oxidases ...

Evaluation of Metallo-β-Lactamase Susceptibility Testing in a Physiologic Medium

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
Research in identifying alternative growth media that better mimic host conditions is gaining ground. Relative to nutrient-rich Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB), data on the influence of physiologic or host-mimicking media on metallo-β-lactamase (MBL ...

Nitrogenase beyond the Resting State: A Structural Perspective

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Nitrogenases have the remarkable ability to catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia under physiological conditions. How does this happen? The current view of the nitrogenase mechanism focuses on the role of hydrides, the binding of dinitrogen in ...

Directional Second Sphere Effect on CO2 Activation and Reduction by Iron Porphyrin in Aprotic and Protic Media

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Directional control within the secondary coordination sphere redefines CO2 reduction by iron porphyrins. Simply rearranging identical urea hydrogen‐bond donors modulates reactivity, revealing that optimal catalysis does not only arise from maximal intermediate stabilization, but also from directional, adaptive non‐covalent interactions that balance ...
