Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rapid excretion of drug derivatives often results in short drug half-lives, necessitating frequent administrations. Catalytic compartments, also known as nano- and micro-reactors, offer a solution by providing confined environments for in situ production of therapeutic agents. Inspired by natural compartments, polymer-based catalytic compartments have been developed to improve reaction efficiency and enable site-specific therapeutic applications. AREAS COVERED Polymer-based compartments provide stability, permeability control, and responsiveness to stimuli, making them ideal for generating localized compounds/signals. These sophisticated systems, engineered to carry active compounds and enable selective molecular release, represent a significant advancement in pharmaceutical research. They mimic cellular functions, creating controlled catalytic environments for bio-relevant processes. This review explores the latest advancements in synthetic catalytic compartments, focusing on design approaches, building blocks, active molecules, and key bio-applications. EXPERT OPINION Catalytic compartments hold transformative potential in precision medicine by improving therapeutic outcomes through precise, on-site production of therapeutic agents. While promising, challenges like scalable manufacturing, biodegradability, and regulatory hurdles must be addressed to realize their full potential. Addressing these will be crucial for their successful application in healthcare.

Abstract
In nature, enzymatic pathways often involve compartmentalization effects that can modify the intrinsic activity and specificity of the different enzymes involved. Consequently, extensive research has focused on replicating and studying the compartmentalization effects on individual enzymes and on multistep enzyme "cascade" reactions. This study explores the influence of compartmentalization achieved using molecular crowding on the glucose oxidase/horseradish peroxidase (GOx/HRP) cascade reaction. The crowder tested is methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) that can, depending on conditions, promote GOx and HRP coassociation at the nanoscale and extend their contact time. Low-molecular-weight mPEG (0.35 kDa), but not mPEG of higher molecular weights (5 or 20 kDa), significantly enhanced the cascade reaction where up to a 20-fold increase in the rate of the cascade reaction was observed under some conditions. The combined analyses emphasize the particularity of low-molecular-weight mPEG and point toward mPEG-induced coassociation of HRP and GOx, producing nearest crowded neighbor effects of HRP on GOx, and vice versa. These altered the nanoscale environments of these enzymes, which influenced substrate affinity. Using mPEG to promote protein coassociation is simple and does not chemically modify the proteins studied. This approach could be of interest for more broadly characterizing nearest crowded neighbor effects (i.e., protein-protein interactions) for multiprotein systems (i.e., more than just two), thus making it an interesting tool for studying very complex systems, such as those found in nature.

Abstract
Hypoxia is characteristic of the tumor microenvironment, which is correlated with resistance to photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Catalase is potentially useful to catalyze the conversion of endogenous H2O2 to O2 for hypoxia reversion. However, the efficient delivery of catalase into the hypoxia regions of tumors is a huge challenge. Here, we report the self-assembly of ultra-acid-sensitive polymer conjugates of catalase and albumin into nanomicelles that are responsive to the acidic tumor microenvironment. The immunogenicity of catalase is mitigated by the presence of albumin, which reduces the cross-linking of catalase with B cell receptors, resulting in improved pharmacokinetics. The ultra acid sensitivity of the nanomicelles makes it possible to efficiently escape the lysosomal degradation after endocytosis and permeate into the interior of tumors to reverse hypoxia in vitro and in vivo. In mice bearing triple-negative breast cancer, the nanomicelles loaded with a photosensitizer effectively accumulate and penetrate into the whole tumors to generate a sufficient amount of O2 to reverse hypoxia, leading to enhanced efficacy of PDT without detectable side effects. These findings provide a general strategy of self-assembly to design low-immunogenic ultra-acid-sensitive comicelles of protein-polymer conjugates to reverse tumor hypoxia, which sensitizes tumors to PDT.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) combines polymerization and in situ self-assembly of block copolymers in one system and has become a widely used method to prepare block copolymer nanoparticles at high concentrations. The persistence of polymers in the environment poses a huge threat to the ecosystem and represents a significant waste of resources. There is an urgent need to develop novel chemical approaches to synthesize degradable polymers. To meet with this demand, it is crucial to install degradability into PISA nanoparticles. Most recently, degradable PISA nanoparticles have been synthesized by introducing degradation mechanisms into either shell-forming or core-forming blocks. This Minireview summarizes the development in degradable block copolymer nanoparticles synthesized by PISA, including shell-degradable, core-degradable, and all-degradable nanoparticles. Future development will benefit from expansion of polymerization techniques with new degradation mechanisms and adaptation of high-throughput approaches for both PISA syntheses and degradation studies.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), as an emerging therapeutic strategy, kills cancer cells by converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into cytotoxic oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH). However, the therapeutic efficiency of CDT is compromised due to the insufficient endogenous H2O2 and metal catalysts in tumor cells. The use of multivalent polyphenols with multiple hydroxyl functions provides a facile yet robust means for efficient CDT augmentation. For this purpose, we reported herein the construction of polyphenol-metal nanoparticles (NPs) via a phenol-metal coordination strategy. The uniqueness of this study is the preparation of only one polymer construct with multivalency that can afford various supramolecular interactions for simultaneous "one-pot" loading of different therapeutic species, i.e., doxorubicin (DOX), glucose oxidases (GOD), and Fe3+ and further co-self-assembly into a stabilized nanomedicine for cascade amplified chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Specifically, the tumor intracellular acidic pH-triggered DOX release could serve for chemotherapy as well as enhance the intracellular H2O2 level. Together with the extra H2O2 and gluconic acid produced by the GOD-triggered glucose consumption, DOX@POAD-Fe@GOD NPs promoted Fe3+participation in the Fe-mediated Fenton reaction for cascade amplified chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Notably, this formulation displayed a greater anti-tumor effect with a tumor inhibition ratio 1.6-fold higher than that of free DOX in a BALB/c mice model bearing 4T1 tumors. Overall, the multivalent polyphenol-metal nanoplatform developed herein integrates chemotherapy, starvation therapy, and CDT for synergistic enhanced anticancer efficiency, which shows great potential for clinical translations. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) generally suffers from compromised therapeutic efficiency due to insufficient endogenous H2O2 and metal catalysts in tumor cells. To develop a facile yet robust strategy for efficient CDT augmentation, we reported herein construction of a multivalent polyphenol-metal nanoplatform, DOX@POAD-Fe@GOD nanoparticles (NPs) via a phenol-metal coordination strategy. This nanoplatform integrates multiple supramolecular dynamic interactions not only for simultaneously safe encapsulation of doxorubicin (DOX), Fe3+, and glucose oxidases (GOD), but also for cascade amplified chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Specifically, the intracellular acidic pH-triggered dissociation of DOX@POAD-Fe@GOD NPs promoted the release of Fe3+, DOX, and GOD for significantly increased ROS levels that can accelerate Fenton reactions for cascaded chemotherapy, starvation therapy, and CDT with amplified antitumor efficiency in vivo.

Abstract
Protein-polyelectrolyte complex coacervation is of particular interest for mimicking intracellular phase separation and organization. Yet, the challenge arises from regulating the coacervation due to the globular structure and anisotropic distributed charges of protein. Herein, we fully investigate the different control factors and reveal their effects on protein-polyelectrolyte coacervation. We prepared mixtures of BSA (bovine serum albumin) with different cationic polymers, which include linear and branched polyelectrolytes covering different spacer and charge groups, chain lengths, and polymer structures. With BSA-PDMAEMA [poly(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl methacrylate)] as the main investigated pair, we find that the moderate pH and ionic strength are essential for the adequate electrostatic interaction and formation of coacervate droplets. For most BSA-polymer mixtures, excess polyelectrolytes are required to achieve the full complexation, as evidenced by the deviated optimal charge mixing ratios from the charge stoichiometry. Polymers with longer chains or primary amine groups and a branched structure endow a strong electrostatic interaction with BSA and cause a bigger charge ratio deviation associated with the formation of solid-like coacervate complexes. Nevertheless, both the liquid- and solid-like coacervates hardly interrupt the BSA structure and activity, indicating the safe encapsulation of proteins by the coacervation with polyelectrolytes. Our study validates the crucial control of the diverse factors in regulating protein-polyelectrolyte coacervation, and the revealed principles shall be instructive for establishing other protein-based coacervations and boosting their potential applications.

Abstract
Proteins and enzymes are versatile biomaterials for a wide range of medical applications due to their high specificity for receptors and substrates, high degradability, low toxicity, and overall good biocompatibility. Protein nanoparticles are formed by the arrangement of several native or modified proteins into nanometer-sized assemblies. In this review, we will focus on artificial nanoparticle systems, where proteins are the main structural element and not just an encapsulated payload. While under natural conditions, only certain proteins form defined aggregates and nanoparticles, chemical modifications or a change in the physical environment can further extend the pool of available building blocks. This allows the assembly of many globular proteins and even enzymes. These advances in preparation methods led to the emergence of new generations of nanosystems that extend beyond transport vehicles to diverse applications, from multifunctional drug delivery to imaging, nanocatalysis and protein therapy.

Abstract
The combination of biomolecules and synthetic polymers provides an easy access to utilize advantages from both the synthetic world and nature. This is not only important for the development of novel innovative materials, but also promotes the application of biomolecules in various fields including medicine, catalysis, and water treatment, etc. Due to the rapid progress in synthesis strategies for polymer nanomaterials and deepened understanding of biomolecules' structures and functions, the construction of advanced polymer-based biohybrid nanostructures (PBBNs) becomes prospective and attainable. Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), as an efficient and versatile technique in obtaining polymeric nano-objects at high concentrations, has demonstrated to be an attractive alternative to existing self-assembly procedures. Those advantages induce the focus on the fabrication of PBBNs via the PISA technique. In this review, current preparation strategies are illustrated based on the PISA technique for achieving various PBBNs, including grafting-from and grafting-through methods, as well as encapsulation of biomolecules during and subsequent to the PISA process. Finally, advantages and drawbacks are discussed in the fabrication of PBBNs via the PISA technique and obstacles are identified that need to be overcome to enable commercial application.

Abstract
To solve the problems of separating dual enzymes from the carriers of dual-enzyme immobilized micro-systems and greatly increase the carriers' recycling times, photothermal-responsive micro-systems of IR780-doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles@poly(ethylene glycol) microgels (CFNPs-IR780@MGs) are prepared. A novel two-step recycling strategy is proposed based on the CFNPs-IR780@MGs. First, the dual enzymes and the carriers are separated from the reaction system as a whole via magnetic separation. Second, the dual enzymes and the carriers are separated through photothermal-responsive dual-enzyme release so that the carriers can be reused. Results show that CFNPs-IR780@MGs is 281.4 ± 9.6 nm with a shell of 58.2 nm, and the low critical solution temperature is 42 °C, and the photothermal conversion efficiency increases from 14.04% to 58.41% by doping 1.6% of IR780 into the CFNPs-IR780 clusters. The dual-enzyme immobilized micro-systems and the carriers are recycled 12 and 72 times, respectively, and the enzyme activity remains above 70%. The micro-systems can realize whole recycling of the dual enzymes and carriers and further recycling of the carriers, thus providing a simple and convenient recycling method for dual-enzyme immobilized micro-systems. The findings reveal the micro-systems' important application potential in biological detection and industrial production.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte capsules (PCs) exhibit attractive superiorities in enzyme immobilization, including providing a capacious microenvironment for enzyme conformational freedom, highly effective mass transfer, and protecting enzymes from the external environment. Herein, we provide the first systemic evaluation of submicron PCs (SPCs, 500 nm) for enzyme immobilization. The catalytic kinetics results show that SPC encapsulation affected the affinities of enzymes and substrates but significantly enhanced their catalytic activity. The stability test indicates that SPC-encapsulated horseradish peroxidase (HRP) exhibits ultrahigh resistance to external harsh conditions and has a longer storage life than that of soluble HRP. The proposed encapsulation strategy enables 7.73-, 2.22-, and 11.66-fold relative activities when working at a pH as low as 3, at a NaCl concentration as high as 500 mM, and at a trypsin concentration as high as 10 mg/mL. We find that SPC encapsulation accelerates the cascade reaction efficiency of HRP and glucose oxidase. Owing to SPCs enhancing the catalytic activity of the loaded enzymes, we established an amplified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 using HRP-loaded SPCs. The detection sensitivity of SPC-improved ELISA was found to be 280 times greater than that of conventional HRP-based ELISA. Altogether, we provide an elaborate evaluation of 500 nm SPCs on enzyme immobilization and its application in the ultrasensitive detection of foodborne pathogens. This evaluation provides evidence to reveal the potential advantage of SPCs on enzyme immobilization for enzyme-based immunoassays. It has excellent biological activity and strong stability and broadens the application prospect in urine, soy sauce, sewage, and other special samples.

Abstract
Combining polymers with functional proteins is an approach that has brought several successful stories in the field of biomedicine with PEGylated therapeutic proteins. The latest advances in polymer chemistry have facilitated the expansion of protein-polymer hybrids to other research areas such as biocatalysis. Polymers can impart stability and novel functionalities to the enzyme of interest, thereby improving the catalytic performance of a given reaction. In this review, we have revisited the main methodologies currently used for the synthesis of enzyme-polymer hybrids, unveiling the interplay between the configuration and the composition of the assembled structure and the eventual traits of the hybrid. Finally, the latest advances, such as the assembly of polymer-based chemoenzymatic nanoreactors and the use of deep learning methodologies to achieve the most suitable polymer compositions for catalysis, are discussed.

Abstract
Biocatalytic systems based on enzyme cascade reactions have attracted growing interest in the field of biocatalytic medicine. However, it is a major challenge to reasonably construct enzyme cascade reactions with high stability, selectivity, and catalytic efficiency for the in vivo biocatalytic application. Herein, two-in-one engineered glucose oxidase (GOx-Fe0 ) is fabricated by a biomineralization strategy, through which a nanozyme (Fe0 NP) is anchored within the inner cavity of GOx. Then, GOx-Fe0 is immobilized in a pH-sensitive metal-organic framework (MOF) zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to establish a stable and effective MOF-immobilized two-in-one engineered enzyme, GOx-Fe0 @ZIF-8. In vitro studies show that GOx-Fe0 @ZIF-8 exhibits excellent stability and high pH/glucose selectivity, and the shorter spacing between cascade enzymes can increase the cascade throughput and effectively improve the reaction efficiency of the enzyme cascade. In vivo experiments exhibit that GOx-Fe0 @ZIF-8 solves the instability and systemic toxicity of free enzymes, and achieves deep tumor penetration and significant chemodynamic therapeutic efficacy through a pH/glucose-selective enzyme cascade reaction in tumor site. Taken together, such an orchestrated enzyme engineering strategy can effectively improve enzyme stability, selectivity, and enzyme cascade reaction efficiency via chemical transformations, and also provide a promising strategy for the application of biocatalytic cascade reactions in vivo.

Abstract
Biocatalytic transformations in living cells, such as enzymatic cascades, function effectively in spatially confined microenvironments. However, mimicking enzyme catalytic cascade processes is challenging. Herein, we report a new dual-Hemin-G-quadruplex (dHemin-G4) DNAzyme with high catalytic activity over noncovalent G4/Hemin and monocovalent counterparts (G4-Hemin and Hemin-G4) by covalently linking hemin to both ends of an intramolecular G4. We use MAF-7, a hydrophilic metal-organic framework (MOF), as the protecting scaffold to integrate a biocatalytic cascade consisting of dHemin-G4 DNAzyme and glucose oxidase (GOx), by a simple and mild method with a single-step encapsulation of both enzymes. Such a MAF-7-confined cascade system shows superior activity over not only traditional G4/Hemin but also other MOFs (ZIF-8 and ZIF-90), which was mainly attributed to high-payload enzyme packaging. Notably, the introduction of hydrophilic G4 allows to avoid the accumulation of hydrophobic hemin on the surface of MAF-7, which decreases cascade biocatalytic activity. Furthermore, MAF-7 as protective coatings endowed the enzyme with excellent recyclability and good operational stability in harsh environments, including elevated temperature, urea, protease, and organic solvents, extending its practical application in biocatalysis. In addition, the incorporated enzymes can be replaced on demand to broaden the scope of catalytic substrates. Taking advantages of these features, the feasibility of dHemin-G4/GOx@MAF-7 systems for biosensing was demonstrated. This study is conducive to devise efficient and stable enzyme catalytic cascades to facilitate applications in biosensing and industrial processes.

Abstract
Microbial resistance to antibiotics is one of the greatest global healthcare challenges. There is an urgent need to develop effective strategies to overcome antimicrobial resistance. We, herein, report photoinduced in situ growth of a cationic polymer from the N-terminus of lysozyme. The attachment of the cationic polymer improves the proteolytic and thermal stability of lysozyme. Notably, the conjugate can efficiently overcome lysozyme resistance in Gram-positive bacteria and antibiotics-resistance in Gram-negative bacteria, which may be ascribed to the synergistic interactions of lysozyme and the cationic polymer with the bacteria to disrupt their cell membranes. In a rat periodontitis model, the lysozyme-polymer conjugate not only greatly outperforms lysozyme in therapeutic efficacy but also is superior to minocycline hydrochloride, which is the gold standard for periodontitis therapy. These findings may provide an efficient strategy to dramatically enhance the antimicrobial activities of lysozyme and pave a way to overcome antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Enzyme-activated prodrug therapy has emerged as an effective strategy for cancer therapy. However, the inefficient delivery of prodrug-activating enzymes into tumor tissues leads to unsatisfactory antitumor efficacy and undesirable toxicity to normal tissues. Herein, we report in situ growth of a thermosensitive polymer of poly(diethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PDEGMA) from horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to yield a HRP-PDEGMA conjugate with well-retained activity as compared to HRP. The conjugate shows a sharp phase transition behavior with a lower critical solution temperature of 23 °C. The conjugate catalyzes the conversion of non-cytotoxic indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) into cytotoxic species for killing tumor cells. Notably, the PDEGMA conjugation not only increases the stability and cellular uptake of HRP but also prolongs the tumor retention time of HRP upon intratumoral injection. As a result, in mice bearing melanoma, the conjugate inhibits the growth of melanoma much more efficiently than HRP. These results demonstrate that the thermosensitive polymer conjugation of an enzyme is an effective strategy that can enhance the antitumor efficacy of an enzyme-activated prodrug.

Abstract
The artificial multienzyme systems developed by mimicking nature has attracted much interest. However, precisely controlled compositions and ratios of multienzymatic co-immobilization systems are still limited by the indistinguishable nature of enzymes. Herein, a strategy for fabricating DNA-directed immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (GOx) on hybrid DNA nanoflowers (GOx-HRP@hDFs) is presented. The preparation of micron-sized hybrid DNA flowers (hDFs) begins with the predetermined repeatable polymer-like DNA sequences which contained two strands. The hDFs structure is generated through one-pot rolling circle amplification (RCA) and self-assembly with magnesium pyrophosphate inorganic crystals. Based on the rigid-base pairing, GOx and HRP conjugated with sequences complementary to strands would be anchored to the predesigned locations, respectively. By adjusting the loading amount/ratio of enzymes properly, the maximal catalytic efficiency can be precisely regulated. The reaction activity of GOx-HRP@hDFs was 7.4 times higher than that of the free GOx-HRP under the optimal mole ratio (GOx/HRP 4:1). In addition, this multienzyme catalyst system exhibits excellent precision, specificity, reproducibility, and long-term storage stability when applied to real human blood samples. The preceding results validate that GOx-HRP@hDFs are promising candidates for personal diabetes detection.

Abstract
Biocatalytic therapy by reactive-oxygen-species-generating enzymes not only kills cancer cells directly but also stimulates an anticancer immune response and inverses the immunosuppressive microenvironment of a variety of solid tumors, which is potentially beneficial to overcoming the limitations of cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we report the in situ growth of polycation chains from glucose oxidase to generate glucose oxidase-polycation conjugates, which can be used as a template for the in situ reduction of ferrous ions into iron nanoparticles to yield glucose oxidase-polycation-iron nanoconjugates. The nanoconjugates exhibit enhanced cellular uptake and cancer retention as well as self-activated cascade biocatalysis that consumes glucose and generates highly toxic hydroxyl radicals, leading to enhanced starvation-like and chemodynamic cancer therapy. The cancer treatment with the nanoconjugates efficiently triggers the program of immunogenic cell death for enhanced immune checkpoint blockade therapy. The synergy of self-activated cascade biocatalysis and immune checkpoint blockade not only eradicates primary cancers but also inhibits the progression of distant cancers, which leads to the abscopal effect on cancers. Our findings provide a method for the in situ synthesis of self-activated cascade nano-biocatalysts for cascade biocatalysis-enhanced immunotherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) and crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) techniques have emerged as powerful approaches to produce a broad range of advanced synthetic nano-objects with high potential in biomedical applications. PISA produces nano-objects of different morphologies (e.g., spheres, vesicles and worms), with high solids content (∼10-50 wt %) and without additional surfactant. CDSA can finely control the self-assembly of block copolymers and readily forms nonspherical crystalline nano-objects and more complex, hierarchical assemblies, with spatial and dimensional control over particle length or surface area, which is typically difficult to achieve by PISA. Considering the importance of these two assembly techniques in the current scientific landscape of block copolymer self-assembly and the craze for their use in the biomedical field, this review will focus on the advances in PISA and CDSA to produce nano-objects suitable for biomedical applications in terms of (bio)degradability and biocompatibility. This review will therefore discuss these two aspects in order to guide the future design of block copolymer nanoparticles for future translation toward clinical applications.

Abstract
The combination of bio- and chemo-catalysts for sequential cascades has received considerable attention in analytical fields because of the regulable catalytic efficiency and selectivity under various physiological conditions. In this paper, a versatile multienzyme cascade nanoplatform with excellent activity for biosensing is demonstrated by combining metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanozyme with natural enzymes. A boronic acid-modified MOF, MIL-100(Fe)-BA, was obtained via a microwave-assisted metal-ligand-fragment co-assembly strategy. On the one hand, MIL-100(Fe)-BA could serve as a nanozyme with dual oxidase/peroxidase bioactivity to detect glutathione and ascorbic acid with a detection limit of 0.12 μM and 0.09 μM, respectively. On the other hand, the hierarchically porous MIL-100(Fe)-BA possesses adequate recognition sites for immobilizing enzymes with acceptable protein leakage, enabling it to act like a scaffold for the fixation of a single enzyme (sarcosine oxidase) or bi-enzymes (acetylcholinesterase/choline oxidase) and guide a multienzyme cascade reaction system with high efficiency. The cascade nanoplatform has merits of both artificial nanozymes and natural enzymes, providing satisfactory sarcosine/acetylcholine sensing ability with detection limits of 0.26 μM and 1.18 μM. The developed catalytic system not only expands the application of nanozymes in tandem enzymatic bio-catalysis, but provides a facile and efficient multienzyme cascade nanoplatform for biosensing and other applications.

Abstract
Modulating the precise self-assembly of functional biomacromolecules is a critical challenge in biotechnology. Herein, functional biomacromolecule-assembled hierarchical hybrid nanoarchitectures in a spatially controlled fashion are synthesized, achieving the biorecognition behavior and signal amplification in the immunoassay simultaneously. Biomacromolecules with sequential assembly on the scaffold through the biomineralization process show significantly enhanced stability, bioactivity, and utilization efficiency, allowing tuning of their functions by modifying their size and composition. The hierarchically hybrid nanoarchitectures show great potential in construction of ultrasensitive immunoassay platforms, achieving a three order-of-magnitude increase in sensitivity. Notably, the well-designed HRP@Ab2 nanoarchitectures allow for optical immunoassays with a detection range from picogram mL-1 to microgram mL-1 on demand, providing great promise for quantitative analysis of both low-abundance and high-residue targets for biomedical applications.

Abstract
During the billions of years of the evolutionary journey, primitive polymers, involved in proto metabolic pathways with low catalytic activity, played critical roles in the emergence of modern enzymes with remarkable substrate specificity. The precise positioning of amino acid residues and the complex orchestrated interplay in the binding pockets of evolved enzymes promote covalent and non-covalent interactions to foster a diverse set of complex catalytic transformations. Recent efforts to emulate the structural and functional information of extant enzymes by minimal peptide based assemblies have attempted to provide a holistic approach that could help in discerning the prebiotic origins of catalytically active binding pockets of advanced proteins. In addition to the impressive sets of advanced biochemical transformations, catalytic promiscuity and cascade catalysis by such small molecule based dynamic systems can foreshadow the ancestral catalytic processes required for the onset of protometabolism. Looking beyond minimal systems that work close to equilibrium, catalytic systems and compartments under non-equilibrium conditions utilizing simple prebiotically relevant precursors have attempted to shed light on how bioenergetics played an essential role in chemical emergence of complex behaviour. Herein, we map out these recent works and progress where diverse sets of complex enzymatic transformations were demonstrated by utilizing minimal peptide based self-assembled systems. Further, we have attempted to cover the examples of peptide assemblies that could feature promiscuous activity and promote complex multistep cascade reaction networks. The review also covers a few recent examples of minimal transient catalytic assemblies under non-equilibrium conditions. This review attempts to provide a broad perspective for potentially programming functionality via rational selection of amino acid sequences leading towards minimal catalytic systems that resemble the traits of contemporary enzymes.

Abstract
As a class of functional proteins, enzymes possess inherent insignificant features, for instance, mediocre stability and membrane impermeability and reduced enzymatic activity after modification, which partly limit their biomedical applications. Thus, it is indispensable to exploit robust nanoreactors with high enzymatic activity and good stability and cell permeability. Here, the chiral carbon dots (CDs)-glucose oxidase (GOx) nanoreactors named LGOx and DGOx were constructed by the coassembly of GOx with L/D-CDs, respectively. L/DGOx can significantly enhance the activity of GOx and improve the efficient delivery of GOx to cancer cells. Moreover, these nanoreactors can generate hydrogen peroxide to efficaciously kill cancer cells and restrain tumor growth, and DGOx exhibits higher enzymatic activity than LGOx. According to our understanding, this is the first report about utilizing chiral CDs as vectors to construct effective CDs-enzyme nanohybrids for cancer therapy, which is envisioned to be a versatile strategy for multitudinous biomedical applications.

Abstract
A new polyoxometalate (POM)-based organic-inorganic hybrid Cu-coordination polymer, namely {((Cu(bipy))2(μ-PhPO3)2Cu(bipy))2H(PCuW11O39)·3H2O}n (denoted as compound 1, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, PhPO3 = phenylphosphonate), was self-assembled hydrothermally. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis shows that two unique types of 1D chains are present in compound 1, i.e. Cu(II)-organophosphine and organonitrogen complex cation ([((Cu(bipy))2(μ-PhPO3)2Cu(bipy))2]4+) chains and Cu-monosubstituted Keggin-type polyoxoanion ([PCuW11O39]5-) chains, forming a hetero-POM. Crystalline compound 1 as a new enzyme immobilization support exhibited a high horseradish peroxidase (HRP) loading capacity (268 mg g-1). The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FTIR, zeta potential, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and circular dichroism (CD) results show that HRP is only immobilized on the surface of compound 1 through simple physical adsorption without a secondary structure change. This POM-immobilized enzyme (HRP/1) was first used for degradation of pollutants in wastewater, and it showed a high degradation efficiency and TOC removal efficiency for phenol, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) within 30 min reaction time. Moreover, HRP/1 exhibited better operational and storage stabilities and reusability compared with free HRP. This work suggests that POMs can be used as new supports for enzyme immobilization and POM-immobilized enzymes may be used as a new kind of biocatalyst for degradation of phenolic pollutants.

Abstract
Proteins and peptides, built from precisely defined amino acid sequences, are an important class of biomolecules that play a vital role in most biological functions. Preparation of nanostructures through functionalization of natural, hydrophilic proteins/peptides with synthetic polymers or upon self-assembly of all-synthetic amphiphilic copolypept(o)ides and amino acid-containing polymers enables access to novel protein-mimicking biomaterials with superior physicochemical properties and immense biorelevant scope. In recent years, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has been established as an efficient and versatile alternative method to existing self-assembly procedures for the reproducible development of block copolymer nano-objects in situ at high concentrations and, thus, provides an ideal platform for engineering protein-inspired nanomaterials. In this review article, the different strategies employed for direct construction of protein-, (poly)peptide-, and amino acid-based nanostructures via PISA are described with particular focus on the characteristics of the developed block copolymer assemblies, as well as their utilization in various pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Enzyme therapeutics have received increasing attention due to their high biological specificity, outstanding catalytic efficiency, and impressive therapeutic outcomes. Protecting and delivering enzymes into target cells while retaining enzyme catalytic efficiency is a big challenge. Wrapping of enzymes with rational designed polymer shells, rather than trapping them into large nanoparticles such as liposomes, have been widely explored because they can protect the folded state of the enzyme and make post-functionalization easier. In this review, the methods for wrapping up enzymes with protective polymer shells are mainly focused on. It is aimed to provide a toolbox for the rational design of polymeric enzymes by introducing methods for the preparation of polymeric enzymes including physical adsorption and chemical conjugation with specific examples of these conjugates/hybrid applications. Finally, a conclusion is drawn and key points are emphasized.

Abstract
Protein-polymer conjugates are a class of molecules that combine the stability of polymers with the diversity, specificity, and functionality of biomolecules. These bioconjugates can result in hybrid materials that display properties not found in their individual components and can be particularly relevant for drug delivery applications. Engineering amphiphilicity into these bioconjugate materials can lead to phase separation and the assembly of high-order structures. The assembly, termed self-assembly, of these hierarchical structures entails multiple levels of organization: at each level, new properties emerge, which are, in turn, influenced by lower levels. Here, we provide a critical review of protein-polymer conjugate self-assembly and how these materials can be used for therapeutic applications and drug delivery. In addition, we discuss central bioconjugate design questions and propose future perspectives for the field of protein-polymer conjugate self-assembly.

Abstract
Enzyme cascade sensors usually could not discriminate between the target and intermediate product. Herein, based on "AND" logic-controlled activation of the glucose oxidase-copper peroxide sensing system, enzyme cascade detection for glucose with resistance to inherently existing intermediate product H2O2 was reported for the first time, which may provide a novel way for facilitating enzyme cascade sensing.

Abstract
Functional nucleic acids (FNAs) are garnering tremendous interest owing to their high modularity and unique bioactivity. Three-dimensional FNAs have been developed to overcome the issues of nuclease degradation and limited cell uptake. We have developed a new facile approach to the synthesis of multiple three-dimensional FNA nanostructures by harnessing photo-polymerization-induced self-assembly. Sgc8 aptamer and CpG oligonucleotide were modified as macro chain-transfer reagents to mediate in situ polymerization and self-assembly. Diverse structures, including micelles, rods, and short worms, afford these two FNAs afford these two FNAs with higher nuclease resistance in serum serum, greater cellular uptake efficiency, and increased bioactivity.

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
Herein, a rigid 3D DNA nanopillar was used to investigate the influence of spatial organization on the cascade activity in multienzyme systems, realizing controllable regulation of the mimic enzyme ratio and spacing for acquiring a high-efficiency enzyme cascade catalytic platform. Initially, the ratio of mimic enzyme AuNPs (glucose oxidase-like activity) and hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme (peroxidase-like activity) fixed at the designed position was adjusted by changing the number of edges in a DNA polyhedron, resulting in an optimal mimic enzyme ratio of 1 : 4 with a quadrangular prism as the scaffold. Notably, the DNA nanopillar formed by quadrangular prism layer-by-layer assembly acted as a track for directional and controllable movement of a bipedal DNA walker based on the toehold mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR), which endowed the assay system with continuous enzyme spacing regulation compared with previous enzyme cascade systems that induced inflexible operation. Furthermore, enzyme mimetics in this work circumvented the drawbacks of natural enzymes, such as time-consuming purification processes and poor thermal stability. As a proof of concept, the proposed dual regulation strategy of cascade enzymes was applied in the ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of Pb2+, which provided a new route to fabrication of high-performance artificial enzyme cascade platforms for ultimate application in bioanalysis and biodiagnostics. A rigid 3D DNA nanopillar was used to investigate the influence of spatial organization on the cascade activity in multienzyme systems, realizing controllable regulation of the mimic enzyme ratio and spacing for efficient cascade catalytic platform.![]()

Abstract
The number of methodologies for the immobilization of enzymes using polymeric supports is continuously growing due to the developments in the fields of biotechnology, polymer chemistry, and nanotechnology in the last years. Despite being excellent catalysts, enzymes are very sensitive molecules and can undergo denaturation beyond their natural environment. For overcoming this issue, polymer chemistry offers a wealth of opportunities for the successful combination of enzymes with versatile natural or synthetic polymers. The fabrication of functional, stable, and robust biocatalytic hybrid materials (nanoparticles, capsules, hydrogels, or films) has been proven advantageous for several applications such as biomedicine, organic synthesis, biosensing, and bioremediation. In this review, supported with recent examples of enzyme-protein hybrids, we provide an overview of the methods used to combine both macromolecules, as well as the future directions and the main challenges that are currently being tackled in this field.
