The metal active site is precisely designed in metalloproteins. Here we applied 3D domain swapping, a phenomenon in which a partial protein structure is exchanged between molecules, to introduce metal sites in proteins. We designed multiple metal-...
The tight H-bond network enhanced the helices at the hinge region and stabilized the myoglobin dimer, providing a unique example of using H-bonds in the design of a dimeric protein through 3D domain swapping.

Biodegradation of synthetic polymers is recognized as a useful way to reduce their environmental load and pollution, loss of natural resources, extensive energy consumption, and generation of greenhouse gases. The potential use of enzymes responsi...

Domain swapping is an exception to Anfinsen's dogma, and more than one structure can be produced from the same amino acid sequence by domain swapping. We have previously shown that myoglobin (Mb) can form a domain-swapped dimer in which the hinge ...
Protein oligomers have gained interest, owing to their increased knowledge in cells and promising utilization for future materials. Various proteins have been shown to 3D domain swap, but there has been no domain swapping report on a blue copper p...
The number of artificial protein supramolecules has been increasing; however, control of protein oligomer formation remains challenging. Cytochrome c′ from Allochromatium vinosum (AVCP) is a homodimeric protein in its native form, where its protom...
