Enhancing the thermostability of enzymes is crucial for industrial applications. Methods such as directed evolution are often limited by the huge sequence space and combinatorial explosion, making it difficult to obtain optimal mutants. In recent yea...
BACKGROUND: Optically active D-amino acids are widely used as intermediates in the synthesis of antibiotics, insecticides, and peptide hormones. Currently, the two-enzyme cascade reaction is the most efficient way to produce D-amino acids using enzym...

The nanopore is emerging as a means of single-molecule protein sensing. However, proteins demonstrate different charge properties, which complicates the design of a sensor that can achieve simultaneous sensing of differently charged proteins. In this...
We developed a method to improve protein thermostability, "loop-walking method". Three consecutive positions in 12 loops of Burkholderia cepacia lipase were subjected to random mutagenesis to make 12 libraries. Screening allowed us to identify L7 as ...
The optimization of therapeutic antibodies is time-intensive and resource-demanding, largely because of the low-throughput screening of full-length antibodies (approximately 1 × 10 variants) expressed in mammalian cells, which typically results in fe...

Macrocycles, including macrocyclic peptides, have shown promise for targeting challenging protein-protein interactions (PPIs). One PPI of high interest is between Kelch-like ECH-Associated Protein-1 (KEAP1) and Nuclear Factor (Erythroid-derived 2)-li...
Enzymes are biological catalysts with many industrial applications, but natural enzymes are usually unsuitable for industrial processes because they are not optimized for the process conditions. The properties of enzymes can be improved by directed e...
The glycoside hydrolase, α-l-rhamnosidase, could remove the bitter taste of naringin from citrus juices. However, most α-l-rhamnosidases are easily deactivated at high temperatures, limiting the practice in debittering citrus juices. The V529A mutant...
