Beyond native reactivity: radical SAM enzymes as platforms for new-to-nature chemistry

Radical S-adenosylmethionine (rSAM) enzymes constitute one of the largest and most versatile enzyme superfamilies in biology, catalyzing diverse radical-mediated reactions essential for metabolism, cofactor biosynthesis, nucleic acid modification, and natural product formation. Central to their chemistry is the reducti...

A Second-Shell Mutation Preorganizes HpnG for Broad-Scope Nucleoside Transglycosylation

Nucleoside analogues are important therapeutic scaffolds, but their synthesis is often protecting-group-intensive. Purine nucleoside phosphorylases offer a mild enzymatic alternative, yet broad substrate accommodation does not necessarily lead to productive glycosyl transfer. Here, we repurposed HpnG, a hopanoid-asso...
