This study optimizes protein production in Cupriavidus necator H16 by analyzing genetic factors and demonstrates its superior performance over E. coli in producing a functional enzyme.

This study identifies a key residue determining redox partner specificity in Rieske oxygenases and reprograms electron transfer between non-cognate components to enhance catalytic activity.

This paper characterizes two fungal polyketide synthases that produce substituted 2-quinolones and (thio)coumarins, demonstrating their potential for biocatalytic drug discovery.

The paper presents methods to improve electroporation efficiency in non-model bacteria using Cupriavidus necator H16 as a test case.

This study evaluates protein fusion strategies to simplify the multi-component electron transfer chain of a Rieske oxygenase, showing that fusing CDO-Red to CDO-Fd enables efficient oxygenase activation and product formation.

This study investigates O2 uncoupling in multi-component Rieske oxygenases by testing hybrid systems to reduce H2O2 formation and enhance catalytic efficiency.
