A family portrait of lanmodulin selectivity for enhanced rare-earth separations

The authors developed a high-throughput SpyCI-LAMBS assay to characterize the metal-binding selectivity of 621 lanmodulin orthologs, identifying variants capable of highly efficient one-stage separation of PrIII from LaIII to advance rare-earth element purification and metalloprotein design.
