Enzymes catalyze molecular reactions with remarkable efficiency and selectivity under mild conditions. Photoactivated enzymes make use of a light-absorbing chromophore to drive chemical transformations, ideally using sunlight as an energy source. The direct attachment of a chromophore to native enzymes is advantageous, as information on the underlying catalytic mechanisms can be obtained.

Developing artificial enzymes based on organic molecules or polymers for reactive oxygen biocatalysis has broad applicability. Here, inspired by heme-based enzyme systems, we construct the abiological iron group metal-based polyporphyrin (Ru/Os-coordinated porphyrin-based biocatalyst, Ru/Os-PorBC) to serve as a new generation of efficient and versatile reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related biocatalyst. Due to the structural benefits, including excellent electron configuration, appropriate bandgap, and optimized adsorption and activation of reaction intermediates, Ru/Os-PorBC shows unparalleled ROS-production activities regarding maximum reaction rate and turnover numbers, which also demonstrates superior pH and temperature adaptability compared to natural enzymes.

The development of artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) offers a potent approach to incorporate non-natural chemical reactions into biocatalysis. Here we report the assembly of Mn(salen)-based ArMs by embedding biotinylated Mn(salen) complexes into streptavidin (Sav) variants. Using commercially available nitrene and oxo transfer reagents, these biohybrid catalysts catalyzed the aziridination of alkenes and oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds with up to 19 and 146 turnover numbers.

Incorporating noble metals in artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) is challenging due to the lack of suitable soft coordinating ligands among natural amino acids. We present a new class of ArMs featuring a genetically encoded noble-metal-binding site based on a non-canonical thiophenol-based amino acid, 4-mercaptophenylalanine (pSHF), incorporated in the transcriptional regulator LmrR through stop codon suppression. We demonstrate that pSHF is an excellent ligand for noble metals in their low oxidation states.

Biocatalysts for fluorination are rare, and thus of great interest for artificial enzyme design. Biohybrid catalysts including Cu-based DNAzymes and dinucleotide catalysts can catalyse enantioselective electrophilic fluorination of β-ketoesters. Here we report the investigation of Cu-based artificial metalloenzymes as catalysts for electrophilic fluorination reactions.
