Abstract
Hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) was exploited for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds through a direct and three-component Mannich reaction in aqueous, confirming high chemoselectivity toward imine. In order to further extend the applications of the enzyme, HEWL was encapsulated using a metal-organic framework (MOF). The reactivity, stereoselectivity, and reusability of the encapsulated enzyme were investigated. The reaction was significantly enhanced as compared to the non-encapsulated enzyme. A mutated version of the enzyme, containing Asp52Ala (D52A), lacking important catalytical residue, has lost the bacterial site activity against Micrococcus luteus (M. luteus) while the D52A variant displayed an increased rate of the Mannich reaction, indicating a different catalytical residue involved in the promiscuous reaction. Based on site-directed mutagenesis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic studies, it was proposed that π-stacking, H-bond interactions, and the presence of water in the active site may play crucial roles in the mechanism of the reaction.

Abstract
The highly efficient Lewis acid-catalytic system Cu(ii)-thiophene-2,5-bis(amino-alcohol) has been developed for enantioselective Aldol reaction of isatin derivatives with ketones. The new catalytic system also proved to be highly enantioselective for the one pot three-component Domino Knoevenagel Michael cyclization reaction of substituted isatin with malononitrile and ethylacetoacetate. The chiral ligand (2S,2′S)-2,2′-((thiophene-2,5-diylbis(methylene))bis(azanediyl))bis(3-phenylpropan-1-ol) (L1) in combination with Cu(OAc)2·H2O employed as a new Lewis acid catalyst, furnished 3-substituted-3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones derivatives (3a–s) in good to excellent yields (81–99%) with high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee) and spiro[4H-pyran-3,3-oxindole] derivatives (6a–l) in excellent yields (89–99%) with high ee (up to 95%). These aldol products and spiro-oxindoles constitute a core structural motif in a large number of pharmaceutically active molecules and natural products. The highly efficient Lewis acid-catalytic system Cu(ii)-thiophene-2,5-bis(amino-alcohol) has been developed for enantioselective Aldol reaction of isatin derivatives with ketones.![]()

Abstract
An l-pyroglutamic acid-derived bifunctional organocatalyst was designed and applied in an organocatalytic asymmetric direct aldol reaction between isatins and cyclohexanone, in which an erosion of enantiomeric excess of aldol adduct was unexpectedly observed. Through closely monitoring the reaction and performing extensive control experiments, it was determined that the erosion of ee was attributed to a rare stereospecific retro-aldol process. Moreover, effective manipulation of the retro-aldol process by tuning the use of starting materials was ultimately accomplished, leading to evidently upgraded enantioselectivity and functional group tolerance. This study demonstrates the impact of the hidden reaction pathway on the enantioselectivity in asymmetric transformation.

Abstract
The mechanism of histidine-catalyzed asymmetrical aldol reaction of acetone with benzaldehyde was studied by using B3LYP method of density functional theory at the levels of 6-31G(d,p) and cc-pvdz basis sets. The calculation results showed that the reaction mechanism included four steps: (I) nucleophilic attack of histidine on acetone to form alcohol intermediate Inter-A through the transition state TS1 (considered a rate control step because the activation energy (49.95 kcal/mol) was relatively high); (II) dehydration of the alcohol intermediate to form the cis- or trans-enamine through the transition states TS3 and TS4 with the energy barriers of 36.12 and 38.15 kcal/mol; (III) electrophilic addition of cis-enamine or trans-enamine with benzaldehyde to form imine Inter-C or Inter-E through the transition states TS8, TS9, TS10, and TS11 (energy barriers 18.43, 22.34, 13.24, and 13.24 kcal/mol, respectively); (IV) after combination of the imine intermediate with water through the transition states TS12, TS13, TS14, and TS15 (energy barriers 22.79, 34.6, 28.2, 25.12 kcal/mol, respectively), removal of the histidine catalys to obtain the final S or R aldol product. Through analyzing the potential energy profile of reaction, we found that the histidine-catalyzed reaction of acetone with benzaldehyde was more energetically favorable to obtain the R-product (ee value >99%). Solvent effects computed with a polarizable continuum model (PCM) indicated that the DMSO and water can reduce the reaction energy barrier.

Abstract
Enzymes have been widely used as efficient, eco-friendly, and biodegradable catalysts in organic chemistry due to their mild reaction conditions and high selectivity and efficiency. In recent years, the catalytic promiscuity of many enzymes in unnatural reactions has been revealed and studied by chemists and biochemists, which has expanded the application potential of enzymes. To enhance the selectivity and activity of enzymes in their natural or promiscuous reactions, many methods have been recommended, such as protein engineering, process engineering, and media engineering. Among them, the additive approach is very attractive because of its simplicity to use and high efficiency. In this paper, we will review the recent developments about the applications of additives to improve the catalytic performances of enzymes in their natural and promiscuous reactions. These additives include water, organic bases, water mimics, cosolvents, crown ethers, salts, surfactants, and some particular molecular additives.

Abstract
Enzymes have emerged in recent decades as ideal catalysts for synthetic transformations under mild reaction conditions. Their capacity to accelerate a myriad of biotransformations with high levels of selectivity and broad substrate specificity including excellent atom economy has led to a current full recognition. The six classes of enzymes (oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases and ligases) possess outstanding abilities to perform specific modifications in target molecules. Nevertheless, in the last fifteen years, novel examples have appeared related to nonconventional processes catalyzed by various classes of biocatalysts. Amongst these, hydrolases have received special attention since they display remarkable activities in initially unexpected reactions such as carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-formation reactions, oxidative processes and novel hydrolytic transformations. In this review, the main findings in this area will be disclosed, highlighting the catalytic properties of hydrolases not only to catalyze single processes but also multicomponent and tandem nonconventional reactions.

Abstract
Numerous enzymes have been found to catalyze additional and completely different types of reactions relative to the natural activity they evolved for. This phenomenon, called catalytic promiscuity, has proven to be a fruitful guide for the development of novel biocatalysts for organic synthesis purposes. As such, enzymes have been identified with promiscuous catalytic activity for, one or more, eminent types of carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions like aldol couplings, Michael(-type) additions, Mannich reactions, Henry reactions, and Knoevenagel condensations. This review focuses on enzymes that promiscuously catalyze these reaction types and exhibit high enantioselectivities (in case chiral products are obtained).

Abstract
Abstract
Enzyme promiscuity can be classified into substrate promiscuity, condition promiscuity and catalytic promiscuity. Enzyme promiscuity results in far larger ranges of organic compounds which can be obtained by biocatalysis. While early examples mostly involved use of lipases, more recent literature shows that catalytic promiscuity occurs more widely and many other classes of enzymes can be used to obtain diverse kinds of molecules. This is of immense relevance in the context of white biotechnology as enzyme catalysed reactions use greener conditions.
