Abstract:
The interfacial enzyme cutinase…? shown at the air–water interface on the cover, was site‐selectively modified with two different ECE‐pincer–metal complexes. The resulting cutinase–pincer–metal hybrids crystallized under halide‐rich conditions to give monomeric crystal structures, but also crystallized under halide‐poor conditions to form a metal‐induced dimer. See the Full Paper by R. J. M. Klein Gebbink, P. Gros, G. van Koten et al. on page 4270 ff. , for details of the chemistry and the crystal structures.
