I am thrilled to share our recent Nature Catalysis cover-featured paper on engineering nonheme iron enzymes for metallophotoredox catalysis, enabling decarboxylative C-N₃ and C-SCN bond formation https://t.co/Sgme3Y8ZXN. This work was pioneered and led by graduate student Jinyan Rui @JRui7001, with important contributions from postdoc Dr. Xinpeng Mu. It has been a pleasure collaborating with the Marc Garcia-Borràs group @MarcGBQ and Yisong Guo's group @MossbauerLab, who provided valuable insights into the mechanistic aspects of this system using computational and spectroscopic tools. This milestone marks our first venture into photoredox catalysis with metalloenzymes and highlights the remarkable versatility of nonheme enzymes in driving reactions previously unknown in enzymatic catalysis.
