The Characterization of Zn Hydrolase Using De Novo Due Ferri Single Chain (DFsc) Proteins
Joseph Pantel
Jan 01, 0001
Many natural enzymes can be found in nature that contain a metal ion. These enzymes have the potential for becoming new drugs and further biotechnology, but not all of the metalloenzymes' functions are fully understood. Through...

Modeling Coupled Binuclear Copper Enzymes With de Novo Designed Due Ferri Single-Chain Protein Variants
Brian Van Dyke
Jan 01, 0001
Coupled binuclear copper proteins (CBCs) such as hemocyanins, catechol oxidases, and tyrosinases utilize dioxygen for storage, oxidase, and monoxygenase behavior, respectively. However, all three protein families have a common...
