چکیده
Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Jörg Eppinger. The cover picture illustrates the concept of using metal-conjugated affinity labels (m-ALs) to convert proteases into well-defined and catalytically active artificial metalloenzymes. For more details, see the Communication on p. 50 ff.

COVER PICTURE Thomas Reiner, Dominik Jantke, Alexander N. Marziale, Andreas Raba, and Jörg Eppinger* The cover picture illustrates the concept of using metal-conjugated affinity labels (m-ALs) to convert proteases into well-defined and catalytically active artificial metalloenzymes. The X-ray structure of the papain-bound inhibitor E64c (orange) served as the basis to predict the orientation of...
متن کاملMetal-Conjugated Affinity Labels: A New Concept to Create Enantioselective Artificial Metalloenzymes
Incorporation of artificial metal centers into proteins and peptides has emerged as an important tool in chemical and biological research. Current applications include pharmaceuticals, probes for molecular imaging and contrast agents, tools for biophysical studies targeting metalloprotein functions, metal-directed protein assembly, electrochemical biosensors, and altered electrochemical potenti...
متن کاملEnantioselective artificial metalloenzymes by creation of a novel active site at the protein dimer interface.
Natural metalloenzymes are a continuing source of inspiration for the design of bio-inspired catalyst. Key to their high catalytic efficiencies and excellent (enantio)selectivities are the second coordination sphere interactions provided by the protein scaffold. The emerging concept of hybrid catalysis is an effort to impart enzyme-like characteristics to homogeneous transition-metal catalysts ...
متن کاملNovel artificial metalloenzymes by in vivo incorporation of metal-binding unnatural amino acids.
Artificial metalloenzymes have emerged as an attractive new approach to enantioselective catalysis. Herein, we introduce a novel strategy for preparation of artificial metalloenzymes utilizing amber stop codon suppression methodology for the in vivo incorporation of metal-binding unnatural amino acids. The resulting artificial metalloenzymes were applied in catalytic asymmetric Friedel-Crafts a...
متن کاملArtificial metalloenzymes for enantioselective catalysis: recent advances.
Catalysis is the most efficient strategy for the preparation of enantiopure products. Homogeneous and enzymatic catalyses are in many respects complementary in terms of substrate and reaction scope, operating conditions, enantioselection mechanism, etc. In terms of performance optimization, directed evolution methodologies outperform combinatorial ligand libraries. With the aim of combining the...
