Abstract excerpt
We report the use of HyPer, a genetically encoded, fluorescent sensor that reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), in a novel screen to engineer enzymes for enhanced production of H2O2. We co-expressed HyPer with cytochrome P450 BM3 variants and, using HyPer's ratiometric signal, found variants that produce greater amounts of H2O2 than the wild-type enzyme through the leakage reaction. The screen avoids lysis...
