Abstract
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are among the most abundant organisms that exert primary control of oceanic and soil nitrification and are responsible for a large part of dark ocean primary production. They assimilate inorganic carbon via an energetically efficient version of the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle. In this cycle, acetyl-CoA is carboxylated to succinyl-CoA, which is then converted to two acetyl-CoA molecules with 4-hydroxybutyrate as the key intermediate. This conversion includes the (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase reaction. Here, we heterologously produced the protein Nmar_1028 catalyzing this reaction in thaumarchaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus, characterized it biochemically and performed its phylogenetic analysis. This NAD-dependent dehydrogenase is highly active with its substrate, (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, and its low Km value suggests that the protein is adapted to the functioning in the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle. Nmar_1028 is homologous to the dehydrogenase domain of crotonyl-CoA hydratase/(S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase that is present in many Archaea. Apparently, the loss of the dehydratase domain of the fusion protein in the course of evolution was accompanied by lateral gene transfer of 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA dehydratase/crotonyl-CoA hydratase from Bacteria. Although (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase studied here is neither unique nor characteristic for the HP/HB cycle, Nmar_1028 appears to be the only (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase in N. maritimus and is thus essential for the functioning of the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle and for the biology of this important marine archaeon.

Abstract
Multiple enzymes-induced biological cascade catalysis guides efficient and selective substrate transformations in vivo. The biomimetic cascade systems, as ingenious strategies for signal transduction and amplification, have a wide range of applications in biosensing. However, the fragile nature of enzymes greatly limits their wide applications. In this regard, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with porous structures, unique nano/microenvironments, and good biocompatibility have been skillfully used as carriers to immobilize enzymes for shielding them against hash surroundings and improving the catalytic efficiency. For another, nanomaterials with enzyme-like properties and brilliant stabilities (nanozymes), have been widely applied to ameliorate the low stability of the enzymes. Inheriting the abovementioned merits of MOFs, the performances of MOFs-immboilized nanozymes could be significantly enhanced. Furthermore, in addition to carriers, some MOFs can also serve as nanozymes, expanding their applications in cascade systems. Herein, recent advances in the fabrication of efficient MOFs-involving enzymes/nanozymes cascade systems and biosensing applications are highlighted. Integrating diversified signal output modes, including colorimetry, electrochemistry, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering, sensitive detection of various targets (including biological molecules, environmental pollutants, enzyme activities, and so on) are realized. Finally, challenges and opportunities about further constructions and applications of MOFs-involving cascade reaction systems are briefly put forward.

Abstract
The ever-growing demand for cost-effective and innocuous biocatalytic transformations has prompted the rational design and development of robust biocatalytic tools. Enzyme immobilization technology lies in the formation of cooperative interactions between the tailored surface of the support and the enzyme of choice, which result in the fabrication of tremendous biocatalytic tools with desirable properties, complying with the current demands even on an industrial level. Different nanoscale materials (organic, inorganic, and green) have attracted great attention as immobilization matrices for single or multi-enzymatic systems. Aiming to unveil the potentialities of nanobiocatalytic systems, we present distinct immobilization strategies and give a thorough insight into the effect of nanosupports specific properties on the biocatalysts' structure and catalytic performance. We also highlight the development of nanobiocatalysts for their incorporation in cascade enzymatic processes and various types of batch and continuous-flow reactor systems. Remarkable emphasis is given on the application of such nanobiocatalytic tools in several biocatalytic transformations including bioremediation processes, biofuel production, and synthesis of bioactive compounds and fine chemicals for the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Immobilized multi-enzyme cascades are increasingly used in microfluidic devices. In particular, their application in continuous flow reactors shows great potential, utilizing the benefits of reusability and control of the reaction conditions. However, capitalizing on this potential is challenging and requires detailed knowledge of the investigated system. Here, we show the application of computational methods for optimization with multi-level reactor design (MLRD) methodology based on the underlying physical and chemical processes. We optimize a stereoselective reduction of a diketone catalyzed by ketoreductase (Gre2) and Nicotinamidadenindinukleotidphosphat (NADPH) cofactor regeneration with glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). Both enzymes are separately immobilized on magnetic beads forming a packed bed within the microreactor. We derive optimal reactor feed concentrations and enzyme ratios for enhanced performance and a basic economic model in order to maximize the techno-economic performance (TEP) for the first reduction of 5-nitrononane-2,8-dione.

Abstract
In a biological system, the spatiotemporal arrangement of enzymes in a dense cellular milieu, subcellular compartments, membrane-associated enzyme complexes on cell surfaces, scaffold-organized proteins, protein clusters, and modular enzymes have presented many paradigms for possible multienzyme immobilization designs that were adapted artificially. In metabolic channeling, the catalytic sites of participating enzymes are close enough to channelize the transient compound, creating a high local concentration of the metabolite and minimizing the interference of a competing pathway for the same precursor. Over the years, these phenomena had motivated researchers to make their immobilization approach naturally realistic by generating multienzyme fusion, cluster formation via affinity domain-ligand binding, cross-linking, conjugation on/in the biomolecular scaffold of the protein and nucleic acids, and self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules. This review begins with the discussion of substrate channeling strategies and recent empirical efforts to build it synthetically. After that, an elaborate discussion covering prevalent concepts related to the enhancement of immobilized enzymes' catalytic performance is presented. Further, the central part of the review summarizes the progress in nature motivated multienzyme assembly over the past decade. In this section, special attention has been rendered by classifying the nature-inspired strategies into three main categories: (i) multienzyme/domain complex mimic (scaffold-free), (ii) immobilization on the biomolecular scaffold, and (iii) compartmentalization. In particular, a detailed overview is correlated to the natural counterpart with advances made in the field. We have then discussed the beneficial account of coassembly of multienzymes and provided a synopsis of the essential parameters in the rational coimmobilization design.

Abstract
Among the many challenges in medicine, the treatment and cure of cancer remains an outstanding goal given the complexity and diversity of the disease. Nanotheranostics, the integration of therapy and diagnosis in nanoformulations, is the next generation of personalized medicine to meet the challenges in precise cancer diagnosis, rational management and effective therapy, aiming to significantly increase the survival rate and improve the life quality of cancer patients. Different from most conventional platforms with unsatisfactory theranostic capabilities, supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics have unparalleled advantages in early-stage diagnosis and personal therapy, showing promising potential in clinical translations and applications. In this review, we summarize the progress of supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics and provide guidance for designing new targeted supramolecular theranostic agents. Based on extensive state-of-the-art research, our review will provide the existing and new researchers a foundation from which to advance supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics and promote translationally clinical applications.

Abstract
How modern enzymes evolved as complex catalytic machineries to facilitate diverse chemical transformations is an open question for the emerging field of systems chemistry. Inspired by Nature's ingenuity in creating complex catalytic structures for exotic functions, short peptide-based cross β amyloid sequences have been shown to access intricate binding surfaces demonstrating the traits of extant enzymes and proteins. Based on their catalytic proficiencies reported recently, these amyloid assemblies have been argued as the earliest protein folds. Herein, we map out the recent progress made by our laboratory and other research groups that demonstrate the catalytic diversity of cross β amyloid assemblies. The important role of morphology and specific mutations in peptide sequences has been underpinned in this review. We have divided the feature article into different sections where examples from biology have been covered demonstrating the mechanism of extant biocatalysts and compared with recent works on cross β amyloid folds showing covalent catalysis, aldolase, hydrolase, peroxidase-like activities and complex cascade catalysis. Beyond equilibrium, we have extended our discussion towards transient catalytic amyloid phases mimicking the energy driven cytoskeleton polymerization. Finally, a future outlook has been provided on the way ahead for short peptide-based systems chemistry approaches that can lead to the development of robust catalytic networks with improved enzyme-like proficiencies and higher complexities. The discussed examples along with the rationale behind selecting specific amino acids sequence will benefit readers to design systems for achieving catalytic reactivity similar to natural complex enzymes.

Abstract
One of the central aims of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering is to mimic the integrality of eukaryotic cells to construct a multifunctional compartment system to perform multistep incompatible cascade reactions in a one-pot, controlled, and selective fashion. The key challenge is how to address the coexistence of antagonistic reagents and to incorporate these functionalities into an integrated system in a smart and efficient way. A novel strategy called "iterative etching-grafting" is proposed here based on monodispersed photonic spheres (PSs) prepared by microfluidics, which constructs a universal platform for incompatible cascade reactions. As a proof of concept, we spatiotemporally regulated the degree of etching of PSs, then grafted precursory groups of acid and base onto PSs, and incorporated a photocleavage method, which were capable of compartmentalizing the acid and base inside PSs. Utilizing the band-gap offsets of PSs could track the progress of cascade reactions in situ, and grafting various charged polymers on the surface of the pores by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) achieved the selectivity of the substrates, which flexibly constructed a multifunctional and integrated acid-base photonic multicompartment system (PMCS). The created PMCS shows excellent catalytic performance, convenient monitoring, and efficient substrate selectivity in the deacetalization-Knoevenagel cascade reaction. Furthermore, two types of electrophile/nucleophile PMCSs have also been accessibly constructed, demonstrating the facile generation of other incompatible systems with the versatility as well as the advancement and extensibility of the developed strategy.

Abstract
Biocatalytic reaction networks integrate complex cascade transformations via spatial localization of multiple enzymes confined within the cellular milieu. Inspired by nature's ingenuity, we demonstrate that short peptide-based cross-β amyloid nanotubular hybrids can promote different kinds of cascade reactions, from simple two-step, to multistep, to complex convergent cascades. The compartmentalizing ability of paracrystalline cross-β phases was utilized to colocalize sarcosine oxidase (SOX) and hemin as an artificial peroxidase. Further, the catalytic potential of the amyloid nanotubes with ordered arrays of imidazoles were used as hydrolase mimic. The SOX-hemin amyloid nanohybrids featuring a single extant enzyme could integrate different logic networks to access complex digital designs with the help of three concatenated AND gates and biologically relevant stimuli as inputs.

Abstract
The use of enzymes in organic synthesis is highly appealing due their remarkably high chemo-, regio- and enantioselectivity. Nevertheless, for biosynthetic routes to be industrially useful, the enzymes must fulfill several requirements. Particularly, in case of cofactor-dependent enzymes self-sufficient systems are highly valuable. This can be achieved by fusing enzymes with complementary cofactor dependency. Such bifunctional enzymes are also relatively easy to handle, may enhance stability, and promote product intermediate channeling. However, usually the characteristics of the linker, fusing the target enzymes, are not thoroughly evaluated. A poor linker design can lead to detrimental effects on expression levels, enzyme stability and/or enzyme performance. In this chapter, the effect of the length of a glycine-rich linker was explored for the case study of ɛ-caprolactone synthesis through an alcohol dehydrogenase-cyclohexanone monooxygenase fusion system. The procedure includes cloning of linker variants, expression analysis, determination of thermostability and effect on activity and conversion levels of 15 variants of different linker sizes. The protocols can also be used for the creation of other protein-protein fusions.

Abstract
Chemical transformation in cellular environment is critical for regulating biological processes and metabolic pathways. Harnessing biocatalytic cascades to produce chemicals of interest has become a research focus to benefit industrial and pharmaceutic areas. Nanoreactors, which can act as artificial cell-like devices to organize cascade reactions, have been recently proposed for potential therapeutic applications for life-threatening illnesses. Among various types of nanomaterials, there is a growing interest in 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). By virtue of the ultralarge specific surface area, high porosity, and structural diversity, 2D MOF nanosheets hold great promise for a broad spectrum of biomedical use. Herein, a unique planar MOF-based hybrid architecture (GMOF-LA) is introduced by incorporating ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as nanozyme and l-Arginine (l-Arg) as nitric oxide (NO) donor. The prepared Au NPs enable oxidation of glucose into hydrogen peroxide, which drives biocatalytic cascades to covert l-Arg into NO. Interestingly, the well-designed nanosheets not only possess excellent catalytical activity for NO generation, resulting in gas therapeutic effect, but also serve as a desired photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy. This study establishes a good example of exploring bioinspired nanoreactors for cooperative anticancer effect, which may pave the path for future "bench-to-bedside" design of nanomedicine.

Abstract
Synthetic cells have a major role in gaining insight into the complex biological processes of living cells; they also give rise to a range of emerging applications from gene delivery to enzymatic nanoreactors. Living cells rely on compartmentalization to orchestrate reaction networks for specialized and coordinated functions. Principally, the compartmentalization has been an essential engineering theme in constructing cell-mimicking systems. Here, efforts to engineer liquid-liquid interfaces of multiphase systems into membrane-bounded and membraneless compartments, which include lipid vesicles, polymer vesicles, colloidosomes, hybrids, and coacervate droplets, are summarized. Examples are provided of how these compartments are designed to imitate biological behaviors or machinery, including molecule trafficking, growth, fusion, energy conversion, intercellular communication, and adaptivity. Subsequently, the state-of-art applications of these cell-inspired synthetic compartments are discussed. Apart from being simplified and cell models for bridging the gap between nonliving matter and cellular life, synthetic compartments also are utilized as intracellular delivery vehicles for nuclei acids and nanoreactors for biochemical synthesis. Finally, key challenges and future directions for achieving the full potential of synthetic cells are highlighted.

Abstract
Molecular nanotechnology is a rapidly developing field, and tremendous progress has been made in developing synthetic molecular machines. One long-sought after nanotechnology is systems able to achieve the assembly-line like production of molecules. Here we report the discovery of a rudimentary synthetic molecular assembler that produces polymers. The molecular assembler is a supramolecular aggregate of bifunctional surfactants produced by the reaction of two phase-separated reactants. Initially self-reproduction of the bifunctional surfactants is observed, but once it reaches a critical concentration the assembler starts to produce polymers instead of supramolecular aggregates. The polymer size can be controlled by adjusting temperature, reaction time, or introducing a capping agent. There has been considerable debate about molecular assemblers in the context of nanotechnology, our demonstration that primitive assemblers may arise from simple phase separated reactants may provide a new direction for the design of functional supramolecular systems.

Abstract
The immobilization of enzymes in biocatalytic flow reactors is a common strategy to increase enzyme reusability and improve biocatalytic performance. Extrusion-based 3D bioprinting has recently emerged as a versatile tool for the fabrication of perfusable hydrogel grids containing entrapped enzymes for the use in such reactors. This study demonstrates the suitability of water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) as 3D-printable bioinks for the fabrication of composite materials with a porous polymeric scaffold (polyHIPE) filled with enzyme-laden hydrogel. The prepared HIPEs exhibited excellent printability and are shown to be suitable for the printing of complex three-dimensional structures without the need for sacrificial support material. An automated activity assay method for the systematic screening of different material compositions in small-scale batch experiments is presented. The monomer mass fraction in the aqueous phase and the thickness of printed objects were found to be the most important parameters determining the apparent activity of the immobilized enzyme. Mass transfer limitations and enzyme inactivation were identified as probable factors reducing the apparent activity. The presented HIPE-based bioinks enable the fabrication of flow-optimized and more efficient biocatalytic reactors while the automated activity assay method allows the rapid screening of materials to optimize the biocatalytic efficiency further without time-consuming flow-through experiments involving whole printed reactors.

Abstract
The immobilization of enzymes into polymer hydrogels is a versatile approach to improve their stability and utility in biotechnological and biomedical applications. However, these systems typically show limited enzyme activity, due to unfavorable pore dimensions and low enzyme accessibility. Here, 3D jet writing of water-based bioinks, which contain preloaded enzymes, is used to prepare hydrogel scaffolds with well-defined, tessellated micropores. After 3D jet writing, the scaffolds are chemically modified via photopolymerization to ensure mechanical stability. Enzyme loading and activity in the hydrogel scaffolds is fully retained over 3 d. Important structural parameters of the scaffolds such as pore size, pore geometry, and wall diameter are controlled with micrometer resolution to avoid mass-transport limitations. It is demonstrated that scaffold pore sizes between 120 µm and 1 mm can be created by 3D jet writing approaching the length scales of free diffusion in the hydrogels substrates and resulting in high levels of enzyme activity (21.2% activity relative to free enzyme). With further work, a broad range of applications for enzyme-laden hydrogel scaffolds including diagnostics and enzymatic cascade reactions is anticipated.

Abstract
Here, an integrated cascade nanozyme with a formulation of Pt@PCN222-Mn is developed to eliminate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). This nanozyme mimics superoxide dismutase by incorporation of a Mn-[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato]-based metal-organic framework compound capable of transforming oxygen radicals to hydrogen peroxide. The second mimicked functionality is that of catalase by incorporation of Pt nanoparticles, which catalyze hydrogen peroxide disproportionation to water and oxygen. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental measurements reveal the synergistic ROS-scavenging capacity of such an integrated cascade nanozyme. Two forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; i.e., ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) can be effectively relieved by treatment with the cascade nanozyme. This study not only provides a new method for constructing enzyme-like cascade systems but also illustrates their efficient therapeutic promise in the treatment of in vivo IBDs.

Abstract
Epidermal bioelectronics that can monitor human health status non-invasively and in real time are core to wearable healthcare equipment. Achieving mechanically tolerant surface bioreactions that convert biochemical information to detectable signals is crucial for obtaining high sensing fidelity. In this work, by combining simulations and experiments, a typical epidermal biosensor system is investigated based on a redox enzyme cascade reaction (RECR) comprising glucose oxidase/lactate oxidase enzymes and Prussian blue nanoparticles. Simulations reveal that strain-induced change in surface reactant flux is the key to the performance drop in traditional flat bioelectrodes. In contrast, wavy bioelectrodes capable of curvature adaptation maintain the reactant flux under strain, which preserves sensing fidelity. This rationale is experimentally proven by bioelectrodes with flat/wavy geometry under both static strain and dynamic stretching. When exposed to 50% strain, the signal fluctuations for wavy bioelectrodes are only 7.0% (4.9%) in detecting glucose (lactate), which are significantly lower than the 40.3% (51.8%) in flat bioelectrodes. Based on this wavy bioelectrode, a stable human epidermal metabolite biosensor insensitive to human gestures is further demonstrated. This mechanically tolerant biosensor based on adaptive curvature engineering provides a reliable bio/chemical-information monitoring platform for soft healthcare bioelectronics.

Quantum Dots and Gold Nanoparticles as Scaffolds for Enzymatic Enhancement: Recent Advances and the Influence of Nanoparticle Size. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
Nanoparticle scaffolds can impart multiple benefits onto immobilized enzymes including enhanced stability, activity, and recoverability. The magnitude of these benefits is modulated by features inherent to the scaffold–enzyme conjugate, amongst which the size of the nanoscaffold itself can be critically important. In this review, we highlight the benefits of enzyme immobilization on nanoparticles and the factors affecting these benefits using quantum dots and gold nanoparticles as representative materials due to their maturity. We then review recent literature on the use of these scaffolds for enzyme immobilization and as a means to dissect the underlying mechanisms. Detailed analysis of the literature suggests that there is a “sweet-spot” for scaffold size and the ratio of immobilized enzyme to scaffold, with smaller scaffolds and lower enzyme:scaffold ratios generally providing higher enzymatic activities. We anticipate that ongoing studies of enzyme immobilization onto nanoscale scaffolds will continue to sharpen our understanding of what gives rise to beneficial characteristics and allow for the next important step, namely, that of translation to large-scale processes that exploit these properties.

Abstract
Embedding an enzyme within a MOF as exoskeleton (enzyme@MOF) offers new opportunities to improve the inherent fragile nature of the enzyme, but also to impart novel biofunctionality to the MOF. Despite the remarkable stability achieved for MOF-embedded enzymes, embedding patterns and conversion of the enzymatic biofunctionality after entrapment by a MOF have only received limited attention. Herein, we reveal how embedding patterns affect the bioactivity of an enzyme encapsulated in ZIF-8. The enzyme@MOF can maintain high activity when the encapsulation process is driven by rapid enzyme-triggered nucleation of ZIF-8. When the encapsulation is driven by slow coprecipitation and the enzymes are not involved in the nucleation of ZIF-8, enzyme@MOF tends to be inactive owing to unfolding and competing coordination caused by the ligand, 2-methyl imidazole. These two embedding patterns can easily be controlled by chemical modification of the amino acids of the enzymes, modulating their biofunctionality.

Abstract
Developing reliable methods of constructing cell-free multienzyme biocatalytic systems is a milestone goal of synthetic biology. It would enable overcoming the limitations of current cell-based systems, which suffer from the presence of competing pathways, toxicity, and inefficient access to extracellular reactants and removal of products. DNA nanostructures have been suggested as ideal scaffolds for assembling sequential enzymatic cascades in close enough proximity to potentially allow for exploiting of channeling effects; however, initial demonstrations have provided somewhat contradictory results toward confirming this phenomenon. In this work, a three-enzyme sequential cascade was realized by site-specifically immobilizing DNA-conjugated amylase, maltase, and glucokinase on a self-assembled DNA origami triangle. The kinetics of seven different enzyme configurations were evaluated experimentally and compared to simulations of optimized activity. A 30-fold increase in the pathway's kinetic activity was observed for enzymes assembled to the DNA. Detailed kinetic analysis suggests that this catalytic enhancement originated from increased enzyme stability and a localized DNA surface affinity or hydration layer effect and not from a directed enzyme-to-enzyme channeling mechanism. Nevertheless, the approach used to construct this pathway still shows promise toward improving other more elaborate multienzymatic cascades and could potentially allow for the custom synthesis of complex (bio)molecules that cannot be realized with conventional organic chemistry approaches.

Abstract
Continuous flow systems for chemical synthesis are becoming a major focus in organic chemistry and there is a growing interest in the integration of biocatalysts due to their high regio- and stereoselectivity. Methods established for 3D bioprinting enable the fast and simple production of agarose-based modules for biocatalytic reactors if thermally stable enzymes are available. We report here on the characterization of four different cofactor-free phenacrylate decarboxylase enzymes suitable for the production of 4-vinylphenol and test their applicability for the encapsulation and direct 3D printing of disk-shaped agarose-based modules that can be used for compartmentalized flow microreactors. Using the most active and stable phenacrylate decarboxylase from Enterobacter spec. in a setup with four parallel reactors and a subsequent palladium(II) acetate-catalysed Heck reaction, 4-hydroxystilbene was synthesized from p-coumaric acid with a total yield of 14.7 % on a milligram scale. We believe that, due to the convenient direct immobilization of any thermostable enzyme and straightforward tuning of the reaction sequence by stacking of modules with different catalytic activities, this simple process will facilitate the establishment and use of cascade reactions and will therefore be of great advantage for many research approaches.

Abstract
In the field of heterogeneous catalysis, the successful integration of enzymes and inorganic catalysts could pave the way to multifunctional materials which are able to perform advanced cascade reactions. However, such combination is not straightforward, for example in the case of zeolite catalysts for which enzyme immobilization is restricted to the external surface. Herein, this challenge is overcome by developing a new kind of hybrid catalyst based on hollow zeolite microspheres obtained by the aerosol-assisted assembly of zeolite nanocrystals. The latter spheres possess open entry-ways for enzymes, which are then loaded and cross-linked to form cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs), securing their entrapment. This controlled design allows the combination of all the decisive features of the zeolite with a high enzyme loading. A chemo-enzymatic reaction is demonstrated, where the structured zeolite material is used both as a nest for the enzyme and as an efficient inorganic catalyst. Glucose oxidase (GOx) ensures the in situ production of H2O2 subsequently utilized by the TS-1 zeolite to catalyze the epoxidation of allylic alcohol toward glycidol. The strategy can also be used to entrap other enzymes or combination of enzymes, as demonstrated here with combi-CLEAs of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase. We anticipate that this strategy will open up new perspectives, leveraging on the spray-drying (aerosol) technique to shape microparticles from various nano-building blocks and on the entrapment of biological macromolecules to obtain new multifunctional hybrid microstructures.

Abstract
Carrier-free enzyme immobilization techniques are an important development in the field of efficient and streamlined continuous synthetic processes using microreactors. Here, the use of monolithic, self-assembling all-enzyme hydrogels is expanded to phenolic acid decarboxylases. This provides access to the continuous flow production of p-hydroxystyrene from p-coumaric acid for more than 10 h with conversions ≥98% and space time yields of 57.7 g·(d·L)-1. Furthermore, modulation of the degree of crosslinking in the hydrogels resulted in a defined variation of the rheological behavior in terms of elasticity and mesh size of the corresponding materials. This work is addressing the demand of sustainable strategies for defunctionalization of renewable feedstocks.

Abstract
All-enzyme hydrogels are biocatalytic materials, with which various enzymes can be immobilized in microreactors in a simple, mild, and efficient manner to be used for continuous flow processes. Here we present the construction and application of a cofactor regenerating hydrogel based on the imine reductase GF3546 from Streptomyces sp. combined with the cofactor regenerating glucose-1-dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis. The resulting hydrogel materials were characterized in terms of binding kinetics and viscoelastic properties. The materials were formed by rapid covalent crosslinking in less than 5 min, and they showed a typical mesh size of 67 ± 2 nm. The gels were applied for continuous flow biocatalysis. In a microfluidic reactor setup, the hydrogels showed excellent conversions of imines to amines for up to 40 h in continuous flow mode. Variation of flow rates led to a process where the gels showed a maximum space-time-yield of 150 g·(L·day)-1 at 100 μL/min.

Abstract
All-enzyme hydrogels are efficient reagents for continuous flow biocatalysis. These materials can be obtained by self-assembly of two oligomeric enzymes, modified with the complementary SpyTag and SpyCatcher units. To facilitate access to the large proportion of biocatalytically relevant monomeric enzymes, we demonstrate that the tagging valency of the monomeric (S)-stereoselective ketoreductase Gre2p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be designed to assemble stable, active hydrogels with the cofactor-regenerating glucose 1-dehydrogenase GDH from Bacillus subtilis. Mounted in microfluidic reactors, these gels revealed high conversion rates and stereoselectivity in the reduction of prochiral methylketones under continuous flow for more than 8 days. The sequential use as well as parallelization by 'numbering up' of the flow reactor modules demonstrate that this approach is suitable for syntheses on the semipreparative scale.

Abstract
This Review is aimed at synthetic organic chemists who may be familiar with organometallic catalysis but have no experience with biocatalysis, and seeks to provide an answer to the perennial question: if it is so attractive, why wasn't it extensively used in the past? The development of biocatalysis in industrial organic synthesis is traced from the middle of the last century. Advances in molecular biology in the last two decades, in particular genome sequencing, gene synthesis and directed evolution of proteins, have enabled remarkable improvements in scope and substantially reduced biocatalyst development times and cost contributions. Additionally, improvements in biocatalyst recovery and reuse have been facilitated by developments in enzyme immobilization technologies. Biocatalysis has become eminently competitive with chemocatalysis and the biocatalytic production of important pharmaceutical intermediates, such as enantiopure alcohols and amines, has become mainstream organic synthesis. The synthetic space of biocatalysis has significantly expanded and is currently being extended even further to include new-to-nature biocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Biofilms are the natural form of life of the majority of microorganisms. These multispecies consortia are intensively studied not only for their effects on health and environment but also because they have an enormous potential as tools for biotechnological processes. Further exploration and exploitation of these complex systems will benefit from technical solutions that enable integrated, machine-assisted cultivation and analysis. We here introduce a microfluidic platform, where readily available microfluidic chips are connected by automated liquid handling with analysis instrumentation, such as fluorescence detection, microscopy, chromatography and optical coherence tomography. The system is operable under oxic and anoxic conditions, allowing for different gases and nutrients as feeding sources and it offers high spatiotemporal resolution in the analysis of metabolites and biofilm composition. We demonstrate the platform's performance by monitoring the productivity of biofilms as well as the spatial organization of two bacterial species in a co-culture, which is driven by chemical gradients along the microfluidic channel.

Abstract
Conversion of biological feedstocks into value-added chemicals is mostly performed via microbial fermentation. An emerging alternative approach is the use of cell-free systems, consisting of purified enzymes and cofactors. Unfortunately, the in vivo and in vitro research communities rarely interact, which leads to oversimplifications and exaggerations that do not permit fair comparison of the two strategies and impede synergistic interactions. Here, we provide a comprehensive account for the advantages and drawbacks associated with each strategy, and further discuss recent research efforts that aim to breach the limits of cellular and cell-free production. We also explore emerging hybrid solutions that integrate the benefits of both worlds and could expand the boundaries of biosynthesis.

Abstract
In the past 35 years, DNA nanotechnology has grown to a highly innovative and vibrant field of research at the interface of chemistry, materials science, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Herein, a short summary of the state of research in various subdisciplines of DNA nanotechnology, ranging from pure "structural DNA nanotechnology" over protein-DNA assemblies, nanoparticle-based DNA materials, and DNA polymers to DNA surface technology is given. The survey shows that these subdisciplines are growing ever closer together and suggests that this integration is essential in order to initiate the next phase of development. With the increasing implementation of machine-based approaches in microfluidics, robotics, and data-driven science, DNA-material systems will emerge that could be suitable for applications in sensor technology, photonics, as interfaces between technical systems and living organisms, or for biomimetic fabrication processes.

Abstract
Biological macromolecular machines perform impressive mechanical movements. F-adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase uses a proton gradient to generate ATP through mechanical rotations. Here, a programmed hexagonal DNA nanomachine, in which a three-armed DNA nanostructure (TAN) can perform stepwise rotations in the confined nanospace powered by DNA fuels, is demonstrated. The movement of TAN can precisely go through a 60° rotation, which is confirmed by atomic force microscopy, and each stepwise directional rotating is monitored by fluorescent measurements. Moreover, the rotary nanomachine is used to spatially organize cascade enzymes: glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in four different arrangements. The multistep regulations of the biocatalytic activities are achieved by employing TAN rotations. This work presents a new prototype of rotary nanodevice with both angular and directional control, and provides a nanoscale mechanical engineering platform for the reactive molecular components, demonstrating that DNA-based framework may have significant roles in futuristic nanofactory construction.
