Abstract
Artificial biorefinery of oleic acid into 1,10-decanedioic acid represents a revolutionizing route to the sustainable production of chemically difficult-to-make bifunctional chemicals. However, the carbon atom economy is extremely low (56%) due to the formation of unifunctional n-octanol. Here, we report a panel of recombinant Escherichia coli modules for diverse bifunctionalization, where the desired genetic parts are well distributed into different modules that can be flexibly combined in a plug-and-play manner. The designed ω-functionalizing modules could achieve ω-hydroxylation, consecutive ω-oxidation, or ω-amination of n-octanoic acid. By integrating these advanced modules with the reported oleic acid-cleaving modules, high-value C8 and C10 products, including ω-hydroxy acid, ω-amino acid, and α,ω-dicarboxylic acid, were produced with 100% carbon atom economy. These ω-functionalizing modules enabled the complete use of all of the carbon atoms from oleic acid (released from plant oil) for the green synthesis of structurally diverse bifunctional chemicals.

Abstract
Aldol chemicals are synthesized by condensation reactions between the carbon units of ketones and aldehydes using aldolases. The efficient synthesis of diverse organic chemicals requires intrinsic modification of aldolases via engineering and design, as well as extrinsic modification through immobilization or combination with other catalysts. This review describes the development of aldolases, including their engineering and design, and the selection of desired aldolases using high-throughput screening, to enhance their catalytic properties and perform novel reactions. Aldolase-containing catalysts, which catalyze the aldol reaction combined with other enzymatic and/or chemical reactions, can efficiently synthesize diverse complex organic chemicals using inexpensive and simple materials as substrates. We also discuss the current challenges and emerging solutions for aldolase-based catalysts.

Abstract
Artificial cascade reactions involving biocatalysts have demonstrated a tremendous potential during the recent years. This review just focuses on selected examples of the last year and putting them into context to a previously published suggestion for classification. Subdividing the cascades according to the number of catalysts in the linear sequence, and classifying whether the steps are performed simultaneous or in a sequential fashion as well as whether the reaction sequence is performed in vitro or in vivo allows to organise the concepts. The last year showed, that combinations of in vivo as well as in vitro are possible. Incompatible reaction steps may be run in a sequential fashion or by compartmentalisation of the incompatible steps either by using special reactors (membrane), polymersomes or flow techniques.

Abstract
The design of tailor-made enzymes is a major goal in biochemical research that can result in wide-range applications and will lead to a better understanding of how proteins fold and function. In this review we highlight recent advances in enzyme and small molecule binder design. A focus is placed on novel strategies for the design of scaffolds, developments in computational methods, and recent applications of these techniques on receptors, sensors, and enzymes. Further, the integration of computational and experimental methodologies is discussed. The outlined examples of designed enzymes and binders for various purposes highlight the importance of this topic and underline the need for tailor-made proteins.

Abstract
Hydratases have gained attention as alternative to chemical catalysts for their ability to add and eliminate water with high regio-selectivity, stereo-selectivity and enantio-selectivity. Recently, especially cofactor-independent hydratases came into research focus as they are of particular interest for industrial application. The investigation of the substrate scope as well as mutagenesis studies combined with high-resolution crystal structures and bioinformatic methods shed light on this promising enzyme class. This review presents latest findings in the field of fatty acid hydratases, linalool dehydratase isomerase and carotenoid hydratases focusing on mechanistic und structural aspects as well as the expansion of the substrate scope and new applications in organic synthesis.
