Haem substitution is an effective approach to tweak the function of haemoproteins. Herein, we report a facile haem substitution method for self-sufficient cytochrome P450BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium utilising the transpeptidase Sortase A from Staphylococcus aureus. We successfully constructed Mn-substituted BM3 and investigated its catalytic activity.
