Geometric and electronic structure changes in the copper (Cu) centers in bilirubin oxidase (BOD) upon a four-electron reduction were investigated by quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations. For the QM region, the unrestricted de...

Bilirubin oxidase (BOD) belongs to the family of blue multicopper oxidases, and catalyzes the concomitant oxidation of bilirubin to biliverdin and the reduction of molecular oxygen to water via a four-electron reduction system. The active sites of...
Nylon hydrolase (NylC) is initially expressed as an inactive precursor (36 kDa). The precursor is cleaved autocatalytically at Asn266/Thr267 to generate an active enzyme composed of an α subunit (27 kDa) and a β subunit (9 kDa). Four αβ heterodime...

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...
