Life emerges from networks of multiple chemical reactions mediated by enzymes. If abiotic chemical catalysis is implanted into the reaction network of life, such an integration would produce organisms generating unique secondary metabolites and value-added materials from feedstocks or even air, or new diagnostics and therapeutics against diseases. In this review, we introduce selected papers in this emerging field of catalysis research.
