U.S. scientists say they've created a synthetic protein that can be used in biocatalysts for biotechnological, environmental and pharmaceutical applications.
University of Illinois Professor Yi Lu, who led the research, said the synthetic protein is both a structural model and a functional model of a native protein -- nitric-oxide reductase.
Lu's research group, which includes lead author Natasha Yeung and collaborators at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, says it is among the first to design a protein that mimics both the structure and the function of a metalloprotein -- a protein that contains a metal ion.
The National Institutes of Health funded the work, which appeared in the journal Nature's early online Nov. 26 issue. (c) UPI
