Abstract excerpt
Conditional remodeling of enzyme catalysis is a formidable challenge in protein engineering. Herein, we have undertaken a unique active site engineering tactic to command catalytic outcomes. With ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzyme as a paradigm, we show that variants with an expanded active site significantly enhance multistep C-H oxidation in 5-methylcytosine (5mC), whereas a crowded cavity leads to a...
