Protein Structure of LmrR Pore with Unnatural Amino Acid

Caption

Protein structure of LmrR the pore. When an unnatural amino acid, p-aminophenylalanine, is introduced into this pore, the inherent catalytic activity of the aniline side chain (red structure) is boosted by almost three orders of magnitude for a model hydrazone formation.
