What Are Some Examples of Fusion Proteins in Catalysis?
Several innovative examples highlight the utility of fusion proteins in catalysis:
Chimeric Enzymes: Fusion of different enzyme domains to create a single multi-functional catalyst for industrial processes, such as the conversion of biomass into biofuels. Protein-Protein Interactions: Fusion proteins can be designed to bring two enzymes into close proximity, facilitating sequential reactions and improving overall efficiency. Therapeutic Applications: Fusion proteins are used in drug development to combine therapeutic functions with catalytic activity, such as in the case of antibody-drug conjugates.
