Abstract
Covering: 2015 to 2024Mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods have been implemented extensively for enzyme engineering due to their label-free nature, making them suitable for screening a wide range of biochemical systems. Over the past decade, advancements in mass spectrometry, separation science, and the implementation of hyphenated methods have allowed for more streamlined analysis of large volumes of samples while maximizing the richness and dimensionality of the data collected. In this review we highlight recent advancements in mass spectrometry that have allowed for more efficient, robust, and rigorous enzyme engineering for various applications relating to natural products chemistry.
期刊介绍:
Natural Product Reports (NPR) serves as a pivotal critical review journal propelling advancements in all facets of natural products research, encompassing isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity, and synthesis.
With a broad scope, NPR extends its influence into the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic, and chemical biology communities. Covering areas such as enzymology, nucleic acids, genetics, chemical ecology, carbohydrates, primary and secondary metabolism, and analytical techniques, the journal provides insightful articles focusing on key developments shaping the field, rather than offering exhaustive overviews of all results.
NPR encourages authors to infuse their perspectives on developments, trends, and future directions, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas within the natural products research community.
