New workflow transforms nonfunctional protein scaffolds into active enzymes
Researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the University of Ottawa have developed a workflow called CANVAS to transform nonfunctional protein scaffolds into active enzymes. This breakthrough addresses a major challenge in protein design, as previous artificial TIM barrels lacked enzymatic activity.
Why it matters
Creating functional artificial enzymes could revolutionize sustainable chemistry and industrial manufacturing by enabling highly specific biological reactions.
