This cytochrome c variant provides an easy to use tool that is accessible to everyone in the synthetic biology community and allows the user to harness the vast potential of organosilicons. | This cytochrome c variant provides an easy to use tool that is accessible to everyone in the synthetic biology community and allows the user to harness the vast potential of organosilicons. | ||
This basic part exhibits a strong tendency to form silicon-carbon bonds and is, therefore, a valuable addition to perform controlled organic chemistry in microorganisms. | This basic part exhibits a strong tendency to form silicon-carbon bonds and is, therefore, a valuable addition to perform controlled organic chemistry in microorganisms. | ||
A triple mutant of this part has already been applied in the successful synthesis of organosilicons as a proof-of-concept. | A triple mutant of this part has already been applied in the successful synthesis of organosilicons as a proof-of-concept. | ||
