Abstract
The design of artificial enzymes has emerged as a promising tool for the generation of potent biocatalysts able to promote new-to-nature reactions with improved catalytic performances, providing a powerful platform for wide-ranging applications and a better understanding of protein functions and structures. The selection of an appropriate protein scaffold plays a key role in the design process. This review aims to give a general overview of the most common protein scaffolds that can be exploited for the generation of artificial enzymes. Several examples are discussed and categorized according to the strategy used for the design of the artificial biocatalyst, namely the functionalization of natural enzymes, the creation of a new catalytic site in a protein scaffold bearing a wide hydrophobic pocket and de novo protein design. The review is concluded by a comparison of these different methods and by our perspective on the topic.

Abstract
Hybrid protein-organometallic catalysts are being explored for selective catalysis of a number of reactions, because they utilize the complementary strengths of proteins and of organometallic complex. Herein, we present an artificial hydrogenase, StrepH2, built by incorporating a biotinylated [Fe-Fe] hydrogenase organometallic mimic within streptavidin. This strategy takes advantage of the remarkable strength and specificity of biotin-streptavidin recognition, which drives quantitative incorporation of the biotinylated diironhexacarbonyl center into streptavidin, as confirmed by UV/Vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. FTIR spectra of StrepH2 show characteristic peaks at shift values indicative of interactions between the catalyst and the protein scaffold. StrepH2 catalyzes proton reduction to hydrogen in aqueous media during photo- and electrocatalysis. Under photocatalytic conditions, the protein-embedded catalyst shows enhanced efficiency and prolonged activity compared to the isolated catalyst. Transient absorption spectroscopy data suggest a mechanism for the observed increase in activity underpinned by an observed longer lifetime for the catalytic species FeI Fe0 when incorporated within streptavidin compared to the biotinylated catalyst in solution.

Abstract
In the field of artificial metalloenzyme (ArM) catalysis, how to identify the critical factors affecting the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity remains a challenge. In this work, the mechanism of enantioselective reduction of imine catalyzed by using [Rh(Me4Cpbiot)Cl2]·S112H Sav (denoted as S112H) and [Rh(Me4Cpbiot)Cl2]·K121H Sav (denoted as K121H) was studied by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Four binding modes of imine, two proton sources (hydronium ion and lysine) and eight proposed reaction pathways were systematically discussed. The results showed that due to the anchoring effect of the mutation site of ArMs, the rhodium complex which oscillated like a pendulum was bound to a specific conformation, which further determined the chirality of the reduced product. C-Hπ, cation-π and ππ weak interactions played an important role in imine binding, and the favorable binding mode of imine was catalyzed by S112H in landscape orientation and catalyzed by K121H in portrait orientation, respectively. LYS121 is the most possible proton source in the S112H catalytic process while the proton source in the K121H catalytic process is the hydronium ion of the active sites. Furthermore, based on the reaction mechanism, modification of Rh(Me4Cpbiot)Cl2 was carried out in S112H and K121H, and the results suggested that the reaction barrier could be effectively reduced by replacing the methyl groups on Cp* with an amino group. This work gives a fundamental understanding of the mechanism of ArMs toward the imine reduction reaction, in the hope of providing a strategy for reasonable designs of ArMs with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
There has been growing interest in performing organocatalysis within a supramolecular system as a means of controlling reaction reactivity and stereoselectivity. Here, a protein is used as a host for iminium catalysis. A pyrrolidine moiety is covalently linked to biotin and introduced to the protein host streptavidin for organocatalytic activity. Whereas in traditional systems stereoselectivity is largely controlled by the substituents added to the organocatalyst, enantiomeric enrichment by the reported supramolecular system is completely controlled by the host. Also, the yield of the model reaction increases over 10-fold when streptavidin is included. A 1.1 Å crystal structure of the protein-catalyst complex and molecular simulations of a key intermediate reveal the chiral scaffold surrounding the organocatalytic reaction site. This work illustrates that proteins can be an excellent supramolecular host for driving stereoselective secondary amine organocatalysis.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes, resulting from incorporation of a metal cofactor within a host protein, have received increasing attention in the last decade. The directed evolution is presented of an artificial transfer hydrogenase (ATHase) based on the biotin-streptavidin technology using a straightforward procedure allowing screening in cell-free extracts. Two streptavidin isoforms were yielded with improved catalytic activity and selectivity for the reduction of cyclic imines. The evolved ATHases were stable under biphasic catalytic conditions. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that introducing bulky residues within the active site results in flexibility changes of the cofactor, thus increasing exposure of the metal to the protein surface and leading to a reversal of enantioselectivity. This hypothesis was confirmed by a multiscale approach based mostly on molecular dynamics and protein-ligand dockings.

Abstract
Long-lived photo-driven charge separation is demonstrated by assembling a triad on a protein scaffold. For this purpose, a biotinylated triarylamine was added to a RuII -streptavidin conjugate bearing a methyl viologen electron acceptor covalently linked to the N-terminus of streptavidin. To improve the rate and lifetime of the electron transfer, a negative patch consisting of up to three additional negatively charged amino acids was engineered through mutagenesis close to the biotin-binding pocket of streptavidin. Time-resolved laser spectroscopy revealed that the covalent attachment and the negative patch were beneficial for charge separation within the streptavidin hosted triad; the charge separated state was generated within the duration of the excitation laser pulse, and lifetimes up to 3120 ns could be achieved with the optimized supramolecular triad.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes have received increasing attention over the last decade as a possible solution to unaddressed challenges in synthetic organic chemistry. Whereas traditional transition-metal catalysts typically only take advantage of the first coordination sphere to control reactivity and selectivity, artificial metalloenzymes can modulate both the first and second coordination spheres. This difference can manifest itself in reactivity profiles that can be truly unique to artificial metalloenzymes. This Review summarizes attempts to modulate the second coordination sphere of artificial metalloenzymes by using genetic modifications of the protein sequence. In doing so, successful attempts and creative solutions to address the challenges encountered are highlighted.

Abstract
Although the range of biocatalysts available for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure chiral amines continues to expand, few existing methods provide access to secondary amines. To address this shortcoming, we have over‐expressed the gene for an (R)‐imine reductase [(R)‐IRED] from Streptomyces sp. GF3587 in Escherichia coli to create a recombinant whole‐cell biocatalyst for the asymmetric reduction of prochiral imines. The (R)‐IRED was screened against a panel of cyclic imines and two iminium ions and was shown to possess high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. Preparative‐scale synthesis of the alkaloid (R)‐coniine (90 % yield; 99 % ee) from the imine precursor was performed on a gram‐scale. A homology model of the enzyme active site, based on the structure of a closely related (R)‐IRED from Streptomyces kanamyceticus, was constructed and used to identify potential amino acids as targets for mutagenesis.

Abstract
In recent years, the design of artificial metalloenzymes obtained by the insertion of homogeneous catalysts into biological macromolecules has become a major field of research. These hybrids, and the corresponding X-ray structures of several of them, are offering opportunities to better understand the synergy between organometallic and biological subsystems. In this work, we investigate the resting state and activation process of a hybrid inspired by an oxidative haemoenzyme but presenting an unexpected reactivity and structural features. An extensive series of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations show that the resting state and the activation processes of the novel enzyme differ from naturally occurring haemoenzymes in terms of the electronic state of the metal, participation of the first coordination sphere of the metal and the dynamic process. This study presents novel insights into the sensitivity of the association between organometallic and biological partners and illustrates the molecular challenge that represents the design of efficient enzymes based on this strategy.

Abstract
Cyclic peptides containing a disulfide bridge were identified as a simple and versatile coordination sphere for asymmetric catalysis. Upon complexation with Cu(2+) ions they catalyze Diels-Alder and Friedel-Crafts reactions with high enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee and 86% ee, respectively. Moreover, the peptides ligands were systematically optimized with the assistance of "Alanine Scanning". This biomolecular design could greatly expand the choice of peptide scaffolds for artificial metallopeptide catalysts.

Abstract
The β-diketiminato magnesium alkyl complex [LMgnBu] (L=CH{CMe(NDipp)}(2), Dipp=diisopropylphenyl) is shown to be a highly effective precatalyst for the hydroboration of alkyl and aryl substituted aldimines and ketimines with pinacol borane (HBpin). Catalysis is proposed to occur through a sequence of Mg-N/B-H metathesis and rate-determining Mg-H/N=C insertion steps, a proposal strongly supported by stoichiometric studies and kinetic analysis. The reactions are observed to proceed through the intermediacy of well-defined magnesium amides, two examples of which have been isolated and structurally characterized. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the catalytic rate-determining process occurs at an isolated magnesium center and requires the presence of two molecules of the imine substrate for effective turnover. This latter observation is rationalized as a requirement for the secondary substrate molecule to displace HBpin from the coordination sphere of the catalytic magnesium center.
