Distance distributions of short polypeptides recovered by fluorescence resonance energy transfer in the 10 A domain.
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between tryptophan (Trp) as donor and 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene (Dbo) as acceptor was studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence… Expand

Directed evolution of a highly active Yersinia mollaretii phytase
Phytase improves as a feed supplement the nutritional quality of phytate-rich diets (e.g., cereal grains, legumes, and oilseeds) by hydrolyzing indigestible phytate (myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis… Expand

Laboratory evolution of P450 BM3 for mediated electron transfer yielding an activity-improved and reductase-independent variant.
One of the main obstacles in employing P450 monooxygenases for preparative chemical syntheses in cell-free systems is their requirement for cofactors such as NAD(P)H. In order to engineer P450 BM3… Expand

Interplay between hydrophobic cluster and loop propensity in β‐hairpin formation: A mechanistic study
We investigated the structural determinants of the stability of a designed β‐hairpin containing a natural hydrophobic cluster from the protein GB1 and a D‐Pro‐Gly turn forming sequence. The results… Expand
