A fluorescent protein variant was tailor-made as a suitable host for the incorporation of artificial metal centers through in silico removal of metal binding motifs and improvement of thermal, salt and solvent stability. These new metalloproteins possess reactivities nature does not provide. The further goal will be the examination of the new metalloprotein in aqueous catalysis reactions and the examination of the influence of further mutations on selectivity and reactivity.
Project-duration will be 3-6 month, details of arrival/departure dates to be discussed.
