Abstract
This review describes the multiple advantages of using of EcNikA, a nickel transport protein, in the design of artificial metalloenzymes as alternative catalysts for synthetic biology. The rationale behind the strategy of artificial enzyme design is discussed, with particular emphasis on de novo active site reconstitution. The impact of the protein scaffold on the artificial active site and thus the final catalytic properties is detailed, highlighting the considerable aptitude of hybrid systems to catalyze selective reactions, from alkene to thioether transformations (epoxidation, hydroxychlorination, sulfoxidation). The different catalytic approaches - from in vitro to in cristallo - are compared, revealing the considerable advantages of protein crystals in terms of stabilization and acceleration of reaction kinetics. The versatility of proteins, based on metal and ligand diversity and medium/physical conditions, are thus illustrated for oxidation catalysis.

Abstract
CH functionalization, a promising frontier in modern organic chemistry, facilitates the direct conversion of inert CH bonds into many valuable functional groups. Despite its merits, traditional homogeneous catalysis, often faces challenges in efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability towards this transformation. In this context, artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs), resulting from the incorporation of a catalytically-competent metal cofactor within an evolvable protein scaffold, bridges the gap between the efficiency of enzymatic transformations and the versatility of transition metal catalysis. Accordingly, ArMs have emerged as attractive tools for various challenging catalytic transformations. Additionally, the coming of age of directed evolution has unlocked unprecedented avenues for optimizing enzymatic catalysis. Taking advantage of their genetically-encoded protein scaffold, ArMs have been evolved to catalyze various CH functionalization reactions. This review delves into the recent developments of ArM-catalyzed CH functionalization reactions, highlighting the benefits of engineering the second coordination sphere around a metal cofactor within a host protein.

Abstract
Molecular cavities that mimic natural metalloenzymes have shown the potential to trap elusive reaction intermediates. Here, we demonstrate the formation of a rare yet stable Fe(IV)-superoxo intermediate at room temperature subsequent to dioxygen binding at the Fe(III) site of a (Et4N)2[FeIII(Cl)(bTAML)] complex confined inside the hydrophobic interior of a water-soluble Pd6L412+ nanocage. Using a combination of electron paramagnetic resonance, Mössbauer, Raman/IR vibrational, X-ray absorption, and emission spectroscopies, we demonstrate that the cage-encapsulated complex has a Fe(IV) oxidation state characterized by a stable S = 1/2 spin state and a short Fe-O bond distance of ∼1.70 Å. We find that the O2 reaction in confinement is reversible, while the formed Fe(IV)-superoxo complex readily reacts when presented with substrates having weak C-H bonds, highlighting the lability of the O-O bond. We envision that such optimally trapped high-valent superoxos can show new classes of reactivities catalyzing both oxygen atom transfer and C-H bond activation reactions.

Abstract
Embedding a catalytically competent transition metal into a protein scaffold affords an artificial metalloenzyme (ArM). Such hybrid catalysts display features that are reminiscent of both homogeneous and enzymatic catalysts. Pioneered by Whitesides and Kaiser in the late 1970s, this field of ArMs has expanded over the past two decades, marked by ever-increasing diversity in reaction types, cofactors, and protein scaffolds. Recent noteworthy developments include i) the use of earth-abundant metal cofactors, ii) concurrent cascade reactions, iii) synergistic catalysis, and iv) in vivo catalysis. Thanks to significant progress in computational protein design, ArMs based on de novo-designed proteins and tailored chimeric proteins promise a bright future for this exciting field.

Abstract
Molecular aggregation is a powerful tool for tuning advanced materials' photophysical and electronic properties. Here we present a novel potential for the aqueous-solvated aggregated state of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) to facilitate phototransformations otherwise achievable only under harsh chemical conditions. We show that the photoinduced symmetry-breaking charge separation state can itself initiate catalyst-free redox chemistry, leading to selective α-C(sp3)-H bond activation/Csp3-Csp3 coupling on the BODIPY backbone. The photoproduction progress was tracked by monitoring the evolution of the strong Stokes-shifted near-infrared emission, resulting from selective self-assembly of the terminal heterodimeric photoproduct into well-ordered J-aggregates, as revealed by X-ray structural analysis. These findings provide a facile and green route to further explore the promising frontier of packing-triggered selective photoconversions via supramolecular engineering.

Abstract
We have developed a metal-free photocatalytic selective hydroxylation of benzylic methylenes to secondary alcohols. This approach utilizes low-cost eosin Y as photocatalyst, O2 as green oxidant, and inexpensive triethylamine as inhibitor for overoxidation. The mild reaction conditions enable the production of secondary alcohols with 56-95% yields, making it a promising and environmental-friendly method for the synthesis of secondary alcohols from benzylic methylenes.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes have emerged as biohybrid catalysts that allow to combine the reactivity of a metal catalyst with the flexibility of protein scaffolds. This work reports the artificial metalloenzymes based on the β-barrel protein nitrobindin NB4, in which a cofactor [CoII X(Me3 TACD-Mal)]+ X- (X=Cl, Br; Me3 TACD=N,N' ,N''-trimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, Mal=CH2 CH2 CH2 NC4 H2 O2 ) was covalently anchored via a Michael addition reaction. These biohybrid catalysts showed higher efficiency than the free cobalt complexes for the oxidation of benzylic C(sp3 )-H bonds in aqueous media. Using commercially available oxone (2KHSO5 ⋅ KHSO4 ⋅ K2 SO4 ) as oxidant, a total turnover number of up to 220 and 97 % ketone selectivity were achieved for tetralin. As catalytically active intermediate, a mononuclear terminal cobalt(IV)-oxo species [Co(IV)=O]2+ was generated by reacting the cobalt(II) cofactor with oxone in aqueous solution and characterized by ESI-TOF MS.

Abstract
The titanium complex of the cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (cis-DACH) derived Berkessel-salalen ligand is a highly efficient and enantioselective catalyst for the asymmetric epoxidation of terminal olefins with hydrogen peroxide ("Berkessel-Katsuki catalyst"). We herein report that this epoxidation catalyst also effects the highly enantioselective hydroxylation of benzylic C-H bonds with hydrogen peroxide. Mechanism-based ligand optimization identified a novel nitro-salalen Ti-catalyst of the highest efficiency ever reported for asymmetric catalytic benzylic hydroxylation, with enantioselectivities of up to 98 % ee, while overoxidation to ketone is marginal. The novel nitro-salalen Ti-catalyst also shows enhanced epoxidation efficiency, as evidenced by e.g. the conversion of 1-decene to its epoxide in 90 % yield with 94 % ee, at a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol-% only.

Abstract
By anchoring a metal cofactor within a host protein, so-called artificial metalloenzymes can be generated. Such hybrid catalysts combine the versatility of transition metals in catalyzing new-to-nature reactions with the power of genetic-engineering to evolve proteins. With the aim of gaining better control over second coordination-sphere interactions between a streptavidin host-protein (Sav) and a biotinylated cofactor, we engineered a hydrophobic dimerization domain, borrowed from superoxide dismutase C (SOD), on Sav's biotin-binding vestibule. The influence of the SOD dimerization domain (DD) on the performance of an asymmetric transfer hydrogenase (ATHase) resulting from anchoring a biotinylated Cp*Ir-cofactor - [Cp*Ir(biot-p-L)Cl] (1-Cl) - within Sav-SOD is reported herein. We show that, depending on the nature of the residue at position Sav S112, the introduction of the SOD DD on the biotin-binding vestibule leads to an inversion of configuration of the reduction product, as well as a fivefold increase in catalytic efficiency. The findings are rationalized by QM/MM calculations, combined with X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Enantioselective C-H oxidation is a standing chemical challenge foreseen as a powerful tool to transform readily available organic molecules into precious oxygenated building blocks. Here, we describe a catalytic enantioselective hydroxylation of tertiary C-H bonds in cyclohexane scaffolds with H2O2, an evolved manganese catalyst that provides structural complementary to the substrate similarly to the lock-and-key recognition operating in enzymatic active sites. Theoretical calculations unveil that enantioselectivity is governed by the precise fitting of the substrate scaffold into the catalytic site, through a network of complementary weak non-covalent interactions. Stereoretentive C(sp3)-H hydroxylation results in a single-step generation of multiple stereogenic centers (up to 4) that can be orthogonally manipulated by conventional methods providing rapid access, from a single precursor to a variety of chiral scaffolds.

Abstract
Reproducing the key features offered by metalloprotein binding cavities is an attractive approach to overcome the main bottlenecks of current open artificial models (in terms of stability, efficiency and selectivity). In this context, this featured article brings together selected examples of recent developments in the field of confined bioinspired complexes with an emphasis on the emerging hemicryptophane caged ligands. In particular, we focused on (1) the strategies allowing the insulation and protection of complexes sharing similarities with metalloprotein active sites, (2) the confinement-induced improvement of catalytic efficiencies and selectivities and (3) very recent efforts that have been made toward the development of bioinspired complexes equipped with weakly binding artificial cavities.

Abstract
Enzyme-mediator systems generate radical intermediates that abstract hydrogen atoms under mild conditions. These systems have been employed extensively for alcohol oxidation, primarily in biomass degradation, but they are underexplored for direct activation of C(sp3)-H bonds in alkyl groups. Here, we combine horseradish peroxidase (HRP), H2O2, and redox mediator N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) for C(sp3)-H functionalization of alkylbenzene-type substrates. The HRP-NHPI system is >10-fold more active than existing enzyme-mediator systems in converting alkylbenzenes to ketones and aldehydes under air, and it operates from 0-50 °C and in numerous aqueous-organic solvent mixtures. The benzylic substrate radical can be trapped through a reaction with NHPI, demonstrating the formation of benzylic products beyond ketones. Furthermore, we demonstrate a one-pot, two-step enzymatic cascade for converting alkylbenzenes to benzylic amines. Overall, the HRP-NHPI system enables the selective benzylic C-H functionalization of diverse substrates under mild conditions using a straightforward procedure.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes catalyze a variety of reactions using a limited number of natural amino acids and metallocofactors. Therefore, the environment beyond the primary coordination sphere must play an important role in both conferring and tuning their phenomenal catalytic properties, enabling active sites with otherwise similar primary coordination environments to perform a diverse array of biological functions. However, since the interactions beyond the primary coordination sphere are numerous and weak, it has been difficult to pinpoint structural features responsible for the tuning of activities of native enzymes. Designing artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) offers an excellent basis to elucidate the roles of these interactions and to further develop practical biological catalysts. In this review, we highlight how the secondary coordination spheres of ArMs influence metal binding and catalysis, with particular focus on the use of native protein scaffolds as templates for the design of ArMs by either rational design aided by computational modeling, directed evolution, or a combination of both approaches. In describing successes in designing heme, nonheme Fe, and Cu metalloenzymes, heteronuclear metalloenzymes containing heme, and those ArMs containing other metal centers (including those with non-native metal ions and metallocofactors), we have summarized insights gained on how careful controls of the interactions in the secondary coordination sphere, including hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions, allow the generation and tuning of these respective systems to approach, rival, and, in a few cases, exceed those of native enzymes. We have also provided an outlook on the remaining challenges in the field and future directions that will allow for a deeper understanding of the secondary coordination sphere a deeper understanding of the secondary coordintion sphere to be gained, and in turn to guide the design of a broader and more efficient variety of ArMs.

Abstract
Artificial metalloproteins (ArMs) have recently gained significant interest due to their potential to address issues in a broad scope of applications, including biocatalysis, biotechnology, protein assembly, and model chemistry. ArMs are assembled by the incorporation of a non-native metallocofactor into a protein scaffold. This can be achieved by a number of methods that apply tools of chemical biology, computational de novo design, and synthetic chemistry. In this Perspective, we highlight select systems in the hope of demonstrating the breadth of ArM design strategies and applications and emphasize how these systems address problems that are otherwise difficult to do so with strictly biochemical or synthetic approaches.

Abstract
Considering the intrinsic toxicities of transition metals, their incorporation into drug therapies must operate at minimal amounts while ensuring adequate catalytic activity within complex biological systems. As a way to address this issue, this study investigates the design of synthetic prodrugs that are not only tuned to be harmless, but can be robustly transformed in vivo to reach therapeutically relevant levels. To accomplish this, retrosynthetic prodrug design highlights the potential of naphthylcombretastatin-based prodrugs, which form highly active cytostatic agents via sequential ring-closing metathesis and aromatization. Structural adjustments will also be done to improve aspects related to catalytic reactivity, intrinsic bioactivity, and hydrolytic stability. The developed prodrug therapy is found to possess excellent anticancer activities in cell-based assays. Furthermore, in vivo activation by intravenously administered glycosylated artificial metalloenzymes can also induce significant reduction of implanted tumor growth in mice.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of aliphatic C-H bonds stands as an unsolved problem in organic synthesis, with the potential to offer novel paths for preparing molecules of biological interest. The quest for reagents that can perform this class of reactions finds oxygenases and their mechanisms of action as inspiration motifs. Among the numerous families of synthetic catalysts that have been explored, complexes with linear tetraazadentate ligands combining two aliphatic amines and two aromatic amine heterocycles display a structural versatility proven instrumental in the design of C-H oxidation reactions showing site and enantioselectivities, not accessible by conventional oxidants. This manuscript makes a review of recent advances in the field.

Abstract
The functionalization of C-H bonds is one of the most challenging transformations in synthetic chemistry. In biology, these processes are well-known and are achieved with a variety of metalloenzymes, many of which contain a single metal center within their active sites. The most well studied are those with Fe centers, and the emerging experimental data show that high-valent iron oxido species are the intermediates responsible for cleaving the C-H bond. This Forum Article describes the state of this field with an emphasis on nonheme Fe enzymes and current experimental results that provide insights into the properties that make these species capable of C-H bond cleavage. These parameters are also briefly considered in regard to manganese oxido complexes and Cu-containing metalloenzymes. Synthetic iron oxido complexes are discussed to highlight their utility as spectroscopic and mechanistic probes and reagents for C-H bond functionalization. Avenues for future research are also examined.

Abstract
Enzymes are proteins that catalyse chemical reactions and, as such, have been widely used to facilitate a variety of natural and industrial processes, dating back to ancient times. In fact, the global enzymes market is projected to reach $10.5 billion in 2024. The development of computational and DNA editing tools boosted the creation of artificial enzymes (de novo enzymes) - synthetic or organic molecules created to present abiological catalytic functions. These novel catalysts seek to expand the catalytic power offered by nature through new functions and properties. In this manuscript, we discuss the advantages of combining computational design with directed evolution for the development of artificial enzymes and how this strategy allows to fill in the gaps that these methods present individually by providing key insights about the sequence-function relationship. We also review examples, and respective strategies, where this approach has enabled the creation of artificial enzymes with promising catalytic activity. Such key enabling technologies are opening new windows of opportunity in a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical, chemical, biofuels, and food, contributing towards a more sustainable development.

Abstract
Dinuclear iron centers with a bridging hydroxido or oxido ligand form active sites within a variety of metalloproteins. A key feature of these sites is the ability of the protein to control the structures around the Fe centers, which leads to entatic states that are essential for function. To simulate this controlled environment, artificial proteins have been engineered using biotin-streptavidin (Sav) technology in which Fe complexes from adjacent subunits can assemble to form [FeIII-(μ-OH)-FeIII] cores. The assembly process is promoted by the site-specific localization of the Fe complexes within a subunit through the designed mutation of a tyrosinate side chain to coordinate the Fe centers. An important outcome is that the Sav host can regulate the Fe···Fe separation, which is known to be important for function in natural metalloproteins. Spectroscopic and structural studies from X-ray diffraction methods revealed uncommonly long Fe···Fe separations that change by less than 0.3 Å upon the binding of additional bridging ligands. The structural constraints imposed by the protein host on the di-Fe cores are unique and create examples of active sites having entatic states within engineered artificial metalloproteins.

Abstract
Achieving direct C-H hydroxylation in a highly diastereo- and enantioselective manner is still a challenging goal. This reaction is mainly hindered by the potential for overoxidation of the generated alcohols as well as low stereoselectivity. Herein, we present an enantioselective benzylic C-H hydroxylation catalyzed by a manganese complex, H2O2, and a carboxylic acid in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. The benzylic alcohols were successfully furnished in excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5) and enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). As a highlight of this work, high diastereoselectivity of C-H hydroxylation could be achieved by tuning the amount of carboxylic acid additive.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes have been recently established as efficient alternatives to traditional transition metal catalysts. The presence of a secondary coordination sphere in artificial metalloenzymes makes them advantageous over transition metal catalysts, which rely essentially on their first coordination sphere to exhibit their catalytic activity. Recent developments on streptavidin- and avidin-based artificial metalloenzymes have made them highly chemically and genetically evolved for selective organometallic transformations. In this review, we discuss the chemo-genetic optimization of streptavidin- and avidin-based artificial metalloenzymes for the enhancement of their catalytic activities towards a wide range of synthetic transformations. Considering the high impact in vivo applications of artificial metalloenzymes, their catalytic efficacies to promote abiological reactions in intracellular as well as periplasmic environment are also discussed. Overall, this review can provide an insight to readers regarding the design and systematic optimization of strept(avidin)-based artificial metalloenzymes for specific reactions.

Amongst, enzyme-driven MNMs have been able to differentiate themselves from others owing to their distinct characteristics, such as absence of chemical fuel, enhanced cellular uptake and the possibility to be easily conjugated with many therapeutics, including both small molecules and biologics, displaying superior efficacy, enhanced specificity and diminished side effects. In the present review, we aim to highlight and summarize recent advances in enzyme-driven MNMs, particularly to provide an in-depth discussion focusing on the enzyme linking approaches onto those MNMs and motion control strategies of such MNMs with advantages and limitations thereof. Conclusions and future perspectives are also provided in brief.
