Key Points

Enhanced selectivity for rare earth elements results from modifying the RTX domain, which simplifies the separation process.
The truncated calcium-binding RTX domain shows promise in overcoming traditional separation challenges associated with rare earth elements.
Rational design strategies were employed to optimize the binding site, which may lead to more efficient extraction methods for rare earth elements.
This approach may provide significant improvements in the efficiency of rare earth separation, addressing a key challenge in technology supply chain sustainability.
