It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Conspectus Harnessing biocatalysts for novel abiological transformations is a longstanding
goal of synthetic chemistry. Combining the merits of biocatalysis and photocatalysis allows …

The association of an electron-rich substrate with an electron-accepting molecule can
generate a new molecular aggregate in the ground state, called an electron donor–acceptor …

The efficiency, selectivity and sustainability benefits offered by enzymes are enticing
chemists to consider biocatalytic transformations to complement or even supplant more …

Biocatalysis, the application of enzymes to solve synthetic problems of human import, has
blossomed into a powerful technology for chemical innovation. In the past decade, a …

Based on the principles and metrics of green chemistry and sustainable development,
biocatalysis is both a green and sustainable technology. This is largely a result of the …

Tailor‐made: Discussed herein is the ability to adapt biology's mechanisms for innovation
and optimization to solving problems in chemistry and engineering. The evolution of nature's …

As a result of the adaptation of life to an aerobic environment, nature has evolved a panoply
of metalloproteins for oxidative metabolism and protection against reactive oxygen species …

Photoenzymatic catalysts are attractive for stereoselective radical reactions because the
transformation occurs within tunable enzyme active sites. When using flavoproteins for non …

Exploiting nature's catalysts for non-natural transformations that are inaccessible to
chemocatalysis is highly desirable but challenging. On the one hand, the widespread …
