Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are highly promiscuous biocatalyst with self-sufficient mono(per)oxygenase activity. A laboratory-evolved UPO secreted by yeast was covalently immobilized in activated carriers through one-point attachment. In order to maintain the desired orientation without compromising the enzyme's activity, the S221C mutation was introduced at the surface of the enzyme, enabling a single disulfide bridge to be established between the support and the protein. Fluorescence confocal microscopy demonstrated the homogeneous distribution of the enzyme, regardless of the chemical nature of the carrier. This immobilized biocatalyst was characterized biochemically opening an exciting avenue for research into applied synthetic chemistry.

The synthesis of chiral amines is of critical importance but still challenging. Here, we present a self-sufficient and reusable dual-enzyme nanoreactor for chiral amine synthesis, featuring Z-mediated site-specific immobilization of amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) onto mesoporous silica nanoflowers (MSN). Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the Z tag was bound to MSN via electrostatic interactions, thus maintaining the fusion enzyme's active pocket accessibility and improving its catalytic performance.

The industrial use of enzymes often requires their immobilization to facilitate downstream processing and enable reuse. However, controlling enzyme orientation during immobilization is challenging and typically restricted to the N- and C-terminal regions. In this work, we propose a strategy to immobilize more active and stable amine transaminases (ATAs) by combining protein engineering with immobilization techniques.

Electronic immunosensors are indispensable tools for diagnostics, particularly in scenarios demanding immediate results. Conventionally, these sensors rely on the chemical immobilization of antibodies onto electrodes. However, globular proteins tend to adsorb and unfold on these surfaces.

TfCa, a promiscuous carboxylesterase from , was found to hydrolyze polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degradation intermediates such as bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) and mono-(2-hydroxyethyl)-terephthalate (MHET). In this study, we elucidated the structures of TfCa in its apo form, as well as in complex with a PET monomer analogue and with BHET. The structure-function relationship of TfCa was investigated by comparing its hydrolytic activity on various ortho- and para-phthalate esters of different lengths.

One of the major drawbacks of the industrial implementation of enzymatic processes is the low operational stability of the enzymes under tough industrial conditions. In this respect, the use of thermostable enzymes in the industry is gaining ground during the last decades. Herein, we report a structure-guided approach for the development of novel and thermostable 2′-deoxyribosyltransferases (NDTs) based on the computational design of disulfide bonds on hot spot positions.
