Natural, Designed and Engineered Metalloenzymes: Structure, Catalytic Mechanisms and Applications

Abstract

Bioinorganic chemists have become engaged in the challenge of elucidating the molecular mechanisms that govern how protein scaffolds modulate the properties of metal cofactors [...]

“…Most importantly, MBP contains bound zinc ions, followed by iron, calcium, and copper. Likewise, metalloproteins and metalloenzymes are a widespread class of specific or superfamily of enzymes found in all cells that possess metal ions as cofactors and catalyze a plethora of reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, biosynthesis, and hormone metabolism, for candidate biological pathways ( Dubey et al, 2021 ; Leone et al, 2023 ).…”
