Abstract
In recent years, powerful genetic code reprogramming methods have emerged that allow new functional components to be embedded into proteins as noncanonical amino acid (ncAA) side chains. In this review, we will illustrate how the availability of an expanded set of amino acid building blocks has opened a wealth of new opportunities in enzymology and biocatalysis research. Genetic code reprogramming has provided new insights into enzyme mechanisms by allowing introduction of new spectroscopic probes and the targeted replacement of individual atoms or functional groups. NcAAs have also been used to develop engineered biocatalysts with improved activity, selectivity, and stability, as well as enzymes with artificial regulatory elements that are responsive to external stimuli. Perhaps most ambitiously, the combination of genetic code reprogramming and laboratory evolution has given rise to new classes of enzymes that use ncAAs as key catalytic elements. With the framework for developing ncAA-containing biocatalysts now firmly established, we are optimistic that genetic code reprogramming will become a progressively more powerful tool in the armory of enzyme designers and engineers in the coming years.

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
Efficient catalysts play crucial roles in various organic reactions and polymerization. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have the merits of ultrahigh porosity, large surface area, dispersed polymetallic sites and modifiable linkers, which make them promising candidates for catalyzation. This review primarily summarizes the recent research progress on diverse strategies for tailoring MOFs that are endowed with excellent catalytic behavior. These strategies include utilizing MOFs as nanosized reaction channels, metal nodes decorated as catalytic active sites and the modification of ligands or linkers. All these make them highly attractive to various applications, especially in catalyzing organic reactions or polymerizations and they have proven to be effective catalysts for a wide variety of reactions. MOFs are still an evolving field with tremendous prospects; therefore, through the research and development of more modification and regulation strategies, MOFs will realize their wider practical application in the future. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates for catalyzation.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are used by organisms to control protein structure and function after protein translation, but their study is complicated and their roles are not often well understood as PTMs are difficult to introduce onto proteins selectively. Designing reagents that are both good mimics of PTMs, but also only modify select amino acid residues in proteins is challenging. Frequently, both a chemical warhead and linker are used, creating a product that is a misrepresentation of the natural modification. We have previously shown that biotin-chloromethyl-triazole is an effective reagent for cysteine modification to give S-Lys derivatives where the triazole is a good mimic of natural lysine acylation. Here, we demonstrate both how the reactivity of the alkylating reagents can be increased and how the range of triazole PTM mimics can be expanded. These new iodomethyl-triazole reagents are able to modify a cysteine residue on a histone protein with excellent selectivity in 30 min to give PTM mimics of acylated lysine side-chains. Studies on the more complicated, folded protein SCP-2L showed promising reactivity, but also suggested the halomethyl-triazoles are potent alkylators of methionine residues.

Abstract
Many natural metalloenzymes assemble from proteins and biosynthesised complexes, generating potent catalysts by changing metal coordination. Here we adopt the same strategy to generate artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) using ligand exchange to unmask catalytic activity. By systematically testing RuII (η6 -arene)(bipyridine) complexes designed to facilitate the displacement of functionalised bipyridines, we develop a fast and robust procedure for generating new enzymes via ligand exchange in a protein that has not evolved to bind such a complex. The resulting metal cofactors form peptidic coordination bonds but also retain a non-biological ligand. Tandem mass spectrometry and 19 F NMR spectroscopy were used to characterise the organometallic cofactors and identify the protein-derived ligands. By introduction of ruthenium cofactors into a 4-helical bundle, transfer hydrogenation catalysts were generated that displayed a 35-fold rate increase when compared to the respective small molecule reaction in solution.

Abstract
In this work, a soluble biopolymer was prepared by conjugating the bovine serum albumin (BSA) with transition metal ion (Cu2+). BSA-Cu complex was synthesized and characterized using UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies. A colorimetric guaiacol oxidation based method, was used to study the catalytic activity of complex and the results indicated its laccase-like activity. Compared with laccase, BSA-Cu complex showed a higher Km value and a similar Vmax value at the same mass concentration. Also, the ability of the BSA-Cu complex to decolorize malachite green (MG) was tested and the results showed that the complex was able to complete the decolorization process of MG within 30 min. Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) the resultant metabolites of MG degradation were analyzed and the toxicity of degradation products was assessed against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The results confirmed the formation of less toxic products after degradation of MG by BSA-Cu complex. To predict the decolorization efficiency (DE%) of MG, an artificial neural network (ANN) was designed with five, five and one neurons in the input, hidden and output layers, respectively. The obtained results showed the ability of the designed ANN to predict MG removal successfully.

Abstract
A Cp*Rh(III)-dithiophosphate cofactor with "latent" catalytic activity was developed to construct an artificial metalloenzyme representing a new type of biohybrid catalyst which is capable of promoting C(sp2)-H bond functionalization within the β-barrel structure of nitrobindin (NB). To covalently conjugate the Cp*Rh(III) cofactor into a specific position of the hydrophobic cavity of NB via a maleimide-Cys linkage, strong chelation of the dithiophosphate ligand is employed to protect the rhodium metal center against attack by nucleophilic amino acid residues in the protein. It is found that subsequent addition of the Ag+ ion induces dissociation of the dithiophosphate ligands, thereby activating the catalytic activity of the Cp*Rh(III) cofactor. The resulting "active" biohybrid catalyst promotes cycloaddition of acetophenone oxime with diphenylacetylene via C(sp2)-H bond activation. This catalytic activity is enhanced 2.3-fold with the introduction of two glutamate residues (A100E/L125E) adjacent to the Cp*Rh(III) cofactor. The Cp*Rh(III) cofactor with switchable activity from a "latent" form to an "active" form provides a new strategy for generating biohybrid catalysts incorporating a variety of highly reactive transition metal complexes specifically within its protein scaffolds.

Abstract
Combining organometallics and biology has generated broad interest from scientists working on applications from in situ drug release to biocatalysis. Engineered enzymes and biohybrid catalysts (also referred to as artificial enzymes) have introduced a wide range of abiotic chemistry into biocatalysis. Predominantly, this work has concentrated on using these catalysts for single step in vitro reactions. However, the promise of using these hybrid catalysts in vivo and combining them with synthetic biology and metabolic engineering is vast. This report will briefly review recent advances in artificial metalloenzyme design, followed by summarising recent studies that have looked at the use of these hybrid catalysts in vivo and in enzymatic cascades, therefore exploring their potential for synthetic biology.

Abstract
During the last years, enzyme-based biosensors have gained much more attention among the researchers and have had great success in the determination of different biological macromolecules. Nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-mimic activity are widely used in biomedicine as artificial enzymes. Here, we report glucose oxidase-mimic activity of nanolayered manganese-calcium (Mn-Ca) oxide nanoparticles (NL-MnCaO2). In this work, NL-MnCaO2nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized using different techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Also, the ability of these compounds for the glucose and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) determination was investigated. A non-enzymatic strategy for the colorimetric detection of glucose and H2O2 was reported which can be utilized not only for the rapid detection and analysis of glucose by the naked eye but also the quantitative assay of glucose by spectrophotometry. The in situ generated H2O2 and gluconic acid (GA) from the oxidation of glucose through the glucose oxidase-mimicking activity of NL-MnCaO2 was detected using a colorimetric method. Also, the results confirmed the application of these compounds for the detection of glucose in human serum samples with a detection limit (LOD) of 6.12 × 10-6 M. The results showed that NL-MnCaO2 can be used as an alternative for the natural enzymes and act as a simple, sensitive and enzyme-free biosensor for the detection of glucose in real samples. The proposed strategy shows some advantages including sensitivity, short detection time and low detection limit.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) result from the incorporation of an abiotic metal cofactor within a protein scaffold. From the earliest techniques of transition metals adsorbed on silk fibers, the field of ArMs has expanded dramatically over the past 60 years to encompass a range of reaction classes and inspired approaches: Assembly of the ArMs has taken multiple forms with both covalent and supramolecular anchoring strategies, while the scaffolds have been intuitively selected and evolved, repurposed, or designed in silico. Herein, we discuss some of the most prominent recent examples of ArMs to highlight the challenges and opportunities presented by the field.

Abstract
Since the development of metallopolymers, there has been tremendous interest in the applications of this type of materials. The interest in these materials stems from their potential use in industry as catalysts, biomedical agents in healthcare, energy storage and production as well as climate change mitigation. The past two decades have clearly shown exponential growth in the development of many new classes of metallopolymers that address these issues. Today, metallopolymers are considered to be at the forefront for discovering new and sustainable heterogeneous catalysts, therapeutics for drug-resistant diseases, energy storage and photovoltaics, molecular barometers and thermometers, as well as carbon dioxide sequesters.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) are hybrid catalysts that offer a unique opportunity to combine the superior performance of natural protein structures with the unnatural reactivity of transition‐metal catalytic centers. Therefore, they provide the prospect of highly selective and active catalytic chemical conversions for which natural enzymes are unavailable. Herein, we show how by rationally combining robust site‐specific phosphine bioconjugation methods and a lipid‐binding protein (SCP‐2L), an artificial rhodium hydroformylase was developed that displays remarkable activities and selectivities for the biphasic production of long‐chain linear aldehydes under benign aqueous conditions. Overall, this study demonstrates that judiciously chosen protein‐binding scaffolds can be adapted to obtain metalloenzymes that provide the reactivity of the introduced metal center combined with specifically intended product selectivity.
