Protein modification/immobilization has been introduced as a large toolbox for creating a myriad of engineered proteins with profound implications for various scientific and industrial applications. Proteins immobilization techniques are generally performed through protein fixation in/to heterogeneous materials or via inter cross-linking of protein molecules, enabling the development of biocatalysts, biosensors, and drug delivery systems. On the other hand, chemical modification of proteins offers tailored changes in their functionality, enhances protein performance, extends their shelf life, and enables their specific binding interactions. The choice of immobilization or modification technique depends on the significance of various factors for the final product. Chemical coupling methods that create covalent bonds are commonly used for both proposes. Multi-component reactions are particularly effective because they operate under mild conditions to maintain protein functionality while simultaneously introducing multiple functional groups. This review provides an overview of multi-component reactions employed for the immobilization and modification of proteins.

The creation of multi-component energetic complex molecules, with functionalized groups, combined with synergistic catalysis among catalytic interactions between their components, offers a remarkable opportunity to boost the energy release of ammonium perchlorate (AP). This study uses a one-pot method to investigate a synthesis approach for coordinating anion complexes.Furthermore, the potential applications of this series of complexes as combustion catalysts are analyzed.

Hybridization by multi-components in an aerogel is an efficient way to make nanoporous aerogel robust, high-temperature stable and multifunctional. While in the formation of aerogel network by a liquid-solid phase separation, solid-solid phase separation between the multi-component is likely to be triggered by enthalpy penalty, which would undermine the synergistically effects. Here, this work presents a copolymerized precursor that simultaneously incorporates two metals in one precursor, to efficiently suppress the potential solid-solid phase separation between the distinct components during sol-gel reaction.

In this study, we successfully fabricated a novel biocomposite composed of 6-amino β-cyclodextrin (CDNH) grafted onto magnetic chitosan (FeO@Cs). This biocomposite was thoroughly characterized using FT-IR, NMR, PXRD, EDX mapping, SEM, TEM, TGA, and VSM techniques. Subsequently, the innovative biocomposite was harnessed to serve as a heterogeneous catalyst to facilitate two series of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) aimed at synthesizing pyrazole-fused heterocycle derivatives.

Supramolecular nanoreactor as artificial mimetic enzyme is attracting a growing interest due to fine-tuned cavity and host-guest molecular recognition. Here, we design three 3d-4f metallo-supramolecular nanocages with different cavity sizes and active sites (ZnErL, ZnErL, and ZnErL) based on a "bimetallic cluster cutting" strategy. Three nanocages exhibit a differential catalysis for the three-component aza-Darzens reaction without another additive, and only ZnErL with the largest cavity and the most lanthanides centers has excellent catalytic conversion for monosubstituted and disubstituted N-aryl aziridine products.
