Modification of the 4-Hydroxyphenylacetate-3-hydroxylase Substrate Pocket to Increase Activity towards Resveratrol

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
4-Hydroxyphenylacetate-3-hydroxylase (4HPA3H; EC 1.14.14.9) is a heterodimeric flavin-dependent monooxygenase complex that catalyzes the ortho-hydroxylation of resveratrol to produce piceatannol.

Semi-rational Design of Target-binding Small Proteins for Cancer Treatment

open access: yesYAKUGAKU ZASSHI, 2020
Small proteins that have a high affinity for cancer cell surface markers can be promising cheap alternatives to antibodies (antibody mimetics). Various types of antibody mimetics have thus been extensively developed. We recently found that a target-binding peptide binds to its target molecule more strongly when it is structurally constrained.

Semi‐Rationally Designed Short Peptides Self‐Assemble and Bind Hemin to Promote Cyclopropanation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2020
AbstractThe self‐assembly of short peptides gives rise to versatile nanoassemblies capable of promoting efficient catalysis. We have semi‐rationally designed a series of seven‐residue peptides that form hemin‐binding catalytic amyloids to facilitate enantioselective cyclopropanation with efficiencies that rival those of engineered hemin proteins. These
