Abstract

Metalloprotein activity can be tuned by altering first- and second-sphere interactions with the metal ion or ions. Here, a non-canonical haem axial ligand is introduced into a myoglobin variant, modulating both. The resulting enhancement of cyclopropanation activity illustrates the utility of expanding the suite of available amino acids for biocatalyst engineering.
