Abstract excerpt
Redox enzymes play an essential role in nature and in biotechnological applications such as (photo)biocatalysis and biosensing. Understanding how a protein's sequence and structure tune its redox potential is very valuable for engineering proteins with tailored (photo)redox properties. Since protein redox potential measurements are laborious, reliable redox potential computations present an attractive...
