A non-canonical nucleophile unlocks a new mechanistic pathway in a designed enzyme

Abstract Directed evolution of computationally designed enzymes has provided new insights into the emergence of sophisticated catalytic sites in proteins. In this regard, we have recently shown that a histidine nucleophile and a flexible arginine can work in synergy to accelerate the Morita-Baylis-H...
