Developing tunable metal-oxo clusters as artificial enzymes for protein hydrolysis KU Leuven
The selective hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins is a challenging task due to its inertness, and enzymes used for these purposes suffer from several shortcomings. This inspired the development of artificial proteases that could overcome some of the key issues associated with proteolytic enzymes. During this project we will develop tunable metal-oxo clusters (MOCs) based on Zr and Hf as a new class of artificial enzymes, that will act as ...
