Broadening the scope of artificial metalloenzymes based on the biotinavidin technology

Description: Homogeneous- and enzymatic catalysis are in many respects complementary. Upon anchoring an organometallic complex into a host protein, we create artificial metalloenzymes with properties reminiscent of both kingdoms. By exploiting the biotin (strept)avidin technology to incorporate an achiral catalyst precursor within a protein host, we have recently reported on enantioselective hydrogenation and transfer-hydrogenation reactions. A combined chemogenetic procedure allows us to rapidly optimize the selectivity of the artificial metalloenzymes (up to 96Prozent ee). Current challenges for this funding period include: I) The implementation of directed evolution protocols towards the optimization of artificial metalloenzymes. Ii) Enantioselective oxidation reactions (epoxidation, oxidation of sulfides and kinetic resolution of racemic alcohols). Iii) Palladium catalyzed C-C bond forming reactions (Suzuki coupling and allylic alkylation).
