Engineering of Laccase CueO for Improved Electron Transfer in Bioelectrocatalysis by Semi-Rational Design

Chemistry. 2020 Apr 16;26(22):4884. doi: 10.1002/chem.202001027.

Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Ulrich Schwaneberg at the Institute of Biotechnology, RWTH-Aachen University and DWI Lebniz Institute of Interactive Materials. The picture calls for special attention to be paid to the extra Cu binding site of Copper efflux Oxidase (CueO), due to its predominant function in tuning the electrocatalytic kinetics towards oxygen reduction.
