Great how interdisciplinary work reveal details on #enzymes regarding mechanism and application. A little #heme #protein is a versatile #biocatalyst ... and here we show the interplay of heme with a tyrosine embedded in a proton network facilitates the rare enantioselective Meinwald Rearrangement in

Role of the Active Site Heme and Tyrosine in Styrene Oxide Isomerase’s Natural Isomerase and Unnatural Peroxidase and Peroxygenase Activity | ACS Catalysis pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Role of the Active Site Heme and Tyrosine in Styrene Oxide Isomerase’s Natural Isomerase and Unnatural Peroxidase and Peroxygenase Activity

Heme enzymes can perform a wide range of reactions in biological systems, often controlled by the heme surrounding amino acids or in conjunction with redox partners. Recently, we resolved the cryo-EM ...
