Cover Story: Protein-template-assisted synthesis of artificial metalloenzymes is a promising and ever-expanding scope of bio-inorganic chemistry. Over the decades, designed biocatalysts are useful for the synthesis of various molecules for pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and industrial purposes. Therefore, metalloenzymes are the relevant targets for the design of artificial biocatalysts. The search and development of new scaffolds capable of hosting metals with high levels of selectivity could significantly expand the scope of biocatalysis. This review highlights three protein scaffolds (rubredoxin, ferredoxin and orange protein) for designing models for complex enzymes such as hydrogenase and carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, and also useful as spectroscopic probes.

Three forms of methylated cytosines are present in the eukaryotic genome: 3-methylcytosine, 4-methylcytosine and 5-methylcytosine. 3-methylcytosines create methyl lesions, which impair local DNA function and flexibility, resulting in replication and...
