Unnatural activities and mechanistic insights of cytochrome P450 PikC gained from site-specific mutagenesis by non-canonical amino acids
The 20 proteinogenic amino acids cannot always satisfy the requirements of protein engineering. Here, the authors practice semi-rational non-canonical amino acid mutagenesis for a cytochrome P450 enzyme, leading to unnatural activities and significant mechanistic insights.
