United KingdomResearchers at the University of Bayreuth and the University of Ottawa developed a new method called CANVAS to transform nonfunctional protein scaffolds into active enzymes. They focused on artificial TIM barrels, which had previously lacked enzymatic activity despite having the correct structure. By using computational methods to insert a tailored active site, the team created enzymes like KempTIM1 and KempTIM4b that showed significantly higher catalytic efficiency compared to existing enzymes. This breakthrough could expand the range of available enzymes for applications in biotechnology and sustainable chemistry.
