Cytochrome c for the catalysis of organosilicons

We present a codon-optimized version of the cytochrome c protein derived from Rhodotermus marinus. This protein is able to perform the conversion of organosilicons. It is a novel catalytic unit that allows utilization of silicon compounds [Arnold et al., 2016]. When in its mature form, it catalyzes a carbene insertion into silicon-hydrogen bonds.
