Abstract
Design of metal cofactor ligands is essential for controlling the reactivity of metalloenzymes. We investigated a carbene transfer reaction catalyzed by myoglobins containing iron porphyrin cofactors with one and two trifluoromethyl groups at peripheral sites (FePorCF3 and FePor(CF3)2, respectively), native heme and iron porphycene (FePc). These four myoglobins show a wide range of Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox potentials in the protein of +147 mV, +87 mV, +42 mV and -198 mV vs. NHE, respectively. Myoglobin reconstituted with FePor(CF3)2 has a more positive potential, which enhances the reactivity of a carbene intermediate with alkenes, and demonstrates superior cyclopropanation of inert alkenes, such as aliphatic and internal alkenes. In contrast, engineered myoglobin reconstituted with FePc has a more negative redox potential, which accelerates the formation of the intermediate, but has low reactivity for inert alkenes. Mechanistic studies indicate that myoglobin with FePor(CF3)2 generates an undetectable active intermediate with a radical character. In contrast, this reaction catalyzed by myoglobin with FePc includes a detectable iron-carbene species with electrophilic character. This finding highlights the importance of redox-focused design of the iron porphyrinoid cofactor in hemoproteins to tune the reactivity of the carbene transfer reaction.

Abstract
Hemoproteins have recently emerged as powerful biocatalysts for new-to-nature carbene transfer reactions. Despite this progress, these strategies have remained largely limited to diazo-based carbene precursor reagents. Here, we report the development of a biocatalytic strategy for the stereoselective construction of pyridine-functionalized cyclopropanes via the hemoprotein-mediated activation of pyridotriazoles (PyTz) as stable and readily accessible carbene sources. This method enables the asymmetric cyclopropanation of a variety of olefins, including electron-rich and electrodeficient ones, with high activity, high stereoselectivity, and enantiodivergent selectivity, providing access to mono- and diarylcyclopropanes that incorporate a pyridine moiety and thus two structural motifs of high value in medicinal chemistry. Mechanistic studies reveal a multifaceted role of 7-halogen substitution in the pyridotriazole reagent toward favoring multiple catalytic steps in the transformation. This work provides the first example of asymmetric olefin cyclopropanation with pyridotriazoles, paving the way to the exploitation of these attractive and versatile reagents for enzyme-catalyzed carbene-mediated reactions.

Abstract
Catalysis with engineered enzymes has provided more efficient routes for the production of active pharmaceutical agents. However, the potential of biocatalysis to assist in early-stage drug discovery campaigns remains largely untapped. In this study, we have developed a biocatalytic strategy for the construction of sp3-rich polycyclic compounds via the intramolecular cyclopropanation of benzothiophenes and related heterocycles. Two carbene transferases with complementary regioisomer selectivity were evolved to catalyse the stereoselective cyclization of benzothiophene substrates bearing diazo ester groups at the C2 or C3 position of the heterocycle. The detailed mechanisms of these reactions were elucidated by a combination of crystallographic and computational analyses. Leveraging these insights, the substrate scope of one of the biocatalysts could be expanded to include previously unreactive substrates, highlighting the value of integrating evolutionary and rational strategies to develop enzymes for new-to-nature transformations. The molecular scaffolds accessed here feature a combination of three-dimensional and stereochemical complexity with 'rule-of-three' properties, which should make them highly valuable for fragment-based drug discovery campaigns.

Abstract
C-H bond amination is an effective way to obtain nitrogen-containing products. In this work, we demonstrate that myoglobin reconstituted with iron porphycene (rMb(FePc)) catalyzes intramolecular C(sp3)-H bond amination of arylsulfonyl azides to yield corresponding sultam analogs. The total turnover number of rMb(FePc) is up to 5.7 × 104 for the C-H bond amination of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl azide. Moreover, rMb(FePc) exhibits higher selectivity for the desired C-H bond amination than the competing azide reduction compared to native myoglobin. Kinetic studies reveal that the kcat value of rMb(FePc) is 4-fold higher than that of native myoglobin. Furthermore, H64A, H64V and H64I mutants of rMb(FePc) enhance the turnover number (TON) and enantioselectivity for the C-H bond amination of 2,4,6-triethylbenzenesulfonyl azide. The present findings indicate that iron porphycene is an attractive artificial cofactor for myoglobin toward the C-H bond amination reaction.

Abstract
Nanocatalytic tumor therapy based on Fenton nanocatalysts has attracted considerable attention because of its therapeutic specificity, enhanced outcomes, and high biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the rate-determining step in Fenton chemistry, which involves the transition of a high-valence metallic center (FeIII ) to a Fenton-active low-valence metallic center (FeII ), has hindered advances in nanocatalyst-based therapeutics. In this study, we constructed mesoporous single iron atomic nanocatalysts (mSAFe NCs) by employing catechols from dopamine to coordinate and isolate single iron atoms. The catechols also serve as reductive ligands, generating a field-effect-based cocatalytic system that instantly reduces FeIII species to FeII species within the mSAFe NCs. This self-motivated cocatalytic strategy enabled by mSAFe NCs accelerates the kinetics of the Fenton catalytic reaction, resulting in remarkable performance for nanocatalytic tumor therapy both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Heme proteins perform diverse biochemical functions using a single iron porphyrin cofactor. This versatility makes them attractive platforms for the development of new functional proteins. While directed evolution and metal substitution have expanded the properties, reactivity, and applications of heme proteins, the incorporation of porphyrin analogs remains an underexplored approach. This review discusses the replacement of heme with non-porphyrin cofactors, such as porphycene, corrole, tetradehydrocorrin, phthalocyanine, and salophen, and the attendant properties of these conjugates. While structurally similar, each ligand exhibits distinct optical and redox properties, as well as unique chemical reactivity. These hybrids serve as model systems to elucidate the effects of the protein environment on the electronic structure, redox potentials, optical properties, or other features of the porphyrin analog. Protein encapsulation can confer distinct chemical reactivity or selectivity of artificial metalloenzymes that cannot be achieved with the small molecule catalyst alone. Additionally, these conjugates can interfere with heme acquisition and uptake in pathogenic bacteria, providing an inroad to innovative antibiotic strategies. Together, these examples illustrate the diverse functionality that can be achieved by cofactor substitution. The further expansion of this approach will access unexplored chemical space, enabling the development of superior catalysts and the creation of heme proteins with emergent properties.

Abstract
Chiral cyclopropanols are highly desirable building blocks for medicinal chemistry, but the stereoselective synthesis of these molecules remains challenging. Here, a novel strategy is reported for the diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of cyclopropanol derivatives via the biocatalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation of vinyl esters with ethyl diazoacetate (EDA). A dehaloperoxidase enzyme from Amphitrite ornata was repurposed to catalyze this challenging cyclopropanation reaction, and its activity and stereoselectivity were optimized via protein engineering. Using this system, a broad range of electron-deficient vinyl esters were efficiently converted to the desired cyclopropanation products with up to 99.5:0.5 diastereomeric and enantiomeric ratios. In addition, the engineered dehaloperoxidase-based biocatalyst is able to catalyze a variety of other abiological carbene transfer reactions, including N-H/S-H carbene insertion with EDA as well as cyclopropanation with diazoacetonitrile, thus adding to the multifunctionality of this enzyme and defining it as a valuable new scaffold for the development of novel carbene transferases.

Abstract
Parent, unsubstituted porphycene and its two derivatives: 2,7,12,17-tetra-n-propylporphycene and 2,7,12,17-tetra-t-butylporphycene were substituted at the meso position with amino and nitro groups. These two families of porphycenes were characterized in detail with respect to their spectral, photophysical, and tautomeric properties. Two trans tautomers of similar energies coexist in the ground electronic state, but only one form dominates in the lowest excited singlet state. Absorption, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and emission anisotropy combined with quantum-chemical calculations led to the assignment of S1 and S2 transitions in both tautomers. Compared with the parent porphycene, the S1-S2 energy gap significantly increases; for one tautomeric form, the effect is twice as large as for the other. Both amino- and nitroporphycenes emit single fluorescence; previously reported dual emission of aminoporphycenes is attributed to a degradation product. Introduction of bulky t-butyl groups leads to a huge decrease in fluorescence intensity; this effect, arising from the interaction of the meso substituent with the adjacent t-butyl moiety, is particularly strong in the nitro derivative.

Abstract
Carbene transfer biocatalysis has evolved from basic science to an area with vast potential for the development of new industrial processes. In this study, we show that YfeX, naturally a peroxidase, has great potential for the development of new carbene transferases, due to its high intrinsic reactivity, especially for the N-H insertion reaction of aromatic and aliphatic primary and secondary amines. YfeX shows high stability against organic solvents (methanol and DMSO), greatly improving turnover of hydrophobic substrates. Interestingly, in styrene cyclopropanation, WT YfeX naturally shows high enantioselectivity, generating the trans product with 87 % selectivity for the (R,R) enantiomer. WT YfeX also catalyzes the Si-H insertion efficiently. Steric effects in the active site were further explored using the R232A variant. Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) calculations reveal details on the mechanism of Si-H insertion. YfeX, and potentially other peroxidases, are exciting new targets for the development of improved carbene transferases.

Abstract
Translating the power of transition metal catalysis to the native habitats of enzymes can significantly expand the possibilities of interrogating or manipulating natural biological systems, including living cells and organisms. This is especially relevant for organometallic reactions that have shown great potential in the field of organic synthesis, like the metal-catalyzed transfer of carbenes. While, at first sight, performing metal carbene chemistry in aqueous solvents, and especially in biologically relevant mixtures, does not seem obvious, in recent years there has been a growing number of reports demonstrating the feasibility of the task. Either using small molecule metal catalysts or artificial metalloenzymes, a number of carbene transfer reactions that tolerate aqueous and biorelevant media are being developed. This review intends to summarize the most relevant contributions, and establish the state of the art in this emerging research field.

Abstract
Dinaphthoporphycene (DNP) has emerged as a versatile ligand undergoing large out-of-plane distortion to form a cis-bimetallic complex with Pd(II) using Pd(OAc)2 and out-of-plane monometallic complexes with Pd(acac)2 and PtCl2(PhCN)2. Herein, we are finally able to synthesize the in-core complex with Pd(II) using PdCl2(PhCN)2 or PdCl2. The crystal structure shows the palladium ion resides slightly above the N4-core, with the Pd(II) dimensionally dissenting with the typical square planarity displayed by the reported in-core DNP complexes with Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. The deformed complex displays a blue shift in the absorption spectra compared to DNP and its metallo-derivatives. PdDNP exhibits a moderate singlet oxygen generation ability (18%).

Abstract
Organophosphonate compounds have represented a rich source of biologically active compounds, including enzyme inhibitors, antibiotics, and antimalarial agents. Here, we report the development of a highly stereoselective strategy for olefin cyclopropanation in the presence of a phosphonyl diazo reagent as carbene precursor. In combination with a ‘substrate walking’ protein engineering strategy, two sets of efficient and enantiodivergent myoglobin-based biocatalysts were developed for the synthesis of both (1R,2S) and (1S,2R) enantiomeric forms of the desired cyclopropylphosphonate ester products. This methodology enables the efficient transformation of a broad range of vinylarene substrates at a preparative scale (i.e. gram scale) with up to 99% de and ee. Mechanistic studies provide insights into factors that contribute to make this reaction inherently more challenging than hemoprotein-catalyzed olefin cyclopropanation with ethyl diazoacetate investigated previously. This work expands the range of synthetically useful, enzyme-catalyzed transformations and paves the way to the development of metalloprotein catalysts for abiological carbene transfer reactions involving non-canonical carbene donor reagents. Two enantiocomplementary myoglobin-based carbene transfer biocatalysts were developed for the synthesis of cyclopropylphosphonate esters with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity and in high yields.![]()

Abstract
Two new glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complexes were synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) allowed us to establish the structure of both complexes in the solid state. The glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2′-hydroxy-5′-nitroacetophenone showed a mononuclear hydrated structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tridentate ligand, and the glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2′-hydroxy-5′-methylacetophenone showed a less common tetranuclear anhydrous metallocyclic structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tetradentate ligand. In both compounds, copper(II) had a tetracoordinated square planar geometry. The results of vibrational, electronic, and paramagnetic spectroscopies, as well as thermal analysis, were consistent with the crystal structures. Both complexes were evaluated as catalysts in the olefin cyclopropanation by carbene transference, and both led to very high diastereoselectivity (greater than 98%).

Abstract
Cyclopropane rings are an important structural motif frequently found in many natural products and pharmaceuticals. Commonly, biocatalytic methodologies for the asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropanes rely on repurposed or artificial heme enzymes. Here, we engineered an unusual cofactor‐independent cyclopropanation enzyme based on a promiscuous tautomerase for the enantioselective synthesis of various cyclopropanes via the nucleophilic addition of diethyl 2‐chloromalonate to α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes. The engineered enzyme promotes formation of the two new carbon‐carbon bonds with excellent stereocontrol over both stereocenters, affording the desired cyclopropanes with high diastereo‐ and enantiopurity (d.r. up to 25:1; e.r. up to 99:1). Our results highlight the usefulness of promiscuous enzymes for expanding the biocatalytic repertoire for non‐natural reactions.

Abstract
Fluorine-containing cyclopropanes are a subclass of cyclopropane derivatives that have generated considerable interest in medicinal chemistry for several decades. The replacement of a cyclopropane C-H or C-CH3 bond with fluorine or a fluorinated group (such as CF3 or CF2H) can lead sometimes to synergistic effects in terms of biological activity and improved metabolic profile of a cyclopropane containing bioactive compound. In this context, the preparation of fluoro-, difluoromethyl-, or trifluoromethyl-cyclopropane is particularly attractive and important but quite challenging considering the unique electronic properties that result from the incorporation of a fluorine atom into a substrate or a reagent. In the past decade, we have sought to develop new routes for the stereoselective synthesis of these building blocks using the most reliable cyclopropanation methods and convenient and readily available starting materials. The challenge that had to be undertaken was how we could use the unique properties of the fluorine atom to improve upon the efficiency of a given process rather than shutting it down. This could be overcome by defining new substrate/reagent reactivity guidelines and carefully selecting whether the fluorinated group was introduced on the electrophilic or nucleophilic partner for a given reaction. In this Account, we describe our contributions in this area that take advantage of diazo-derived rhodium carbenes, zinc carbenoids, ring closure processes, and biocatalytic methods to access these important potential drug subunits. Our initial investigation relied on the development of a Michael-initiated ring closure reaction using the Reformatsky enolate derived from readily available ethyl dibromofluoroacetate and α,β-unsaturated electrophiles. The reaction proceeded extremely well but with modest to good diastereoselectivities with ester acrylates. Further extension to various fluorinated nucleophiles such as oxazolidinone based and DABCO ylides led to similar selectivities.In order to access enantioenriched fluorocyclopropanes, we then investigated the chiral dioxaborolane mediated zinc carbenoid based approaches using the fluoroiodomethylzinc carbenoid/allylic alcohol combination or the iodomethylzinc carbenoid/fluoroallylic alcohol combination. Quite surprisingly, both approaches were equally successful at providing the corresponding fluorocyclopropanes with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.To broaden the scope of fluorinated cyclopropane building blocks that could be prepared with good enantiocontrol, we then investigated the rhodium-catalyzed cyclopropanation of fluoro-, difluoromethyl-, and trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes with acceptor-acceptor and donor-acceptor diazo reagents. Depending on the substrate/reagent combination, Hashimoto's Rh2((S)-TCPTTL)4 or Davies' Rh2((S)-BTPCP)4 catalyst proved be the most efficient catalysts providing the cyclopropane derivatives with the highest enantioselectivities.More recently, a collaboration with Fasan's group led to the use of engineered myoglobins to catalyze the reaction of ethyl diazoacetate and difluoromethyl-substituted alkenes. This biocatalyzed process led to high turnover number and high enantioselectivities.Although our work has significantly increased the number of tools in the organic chemist's toolbox, continuous efforts in this area would be beneficial to the development of diastereo- and enantioselective approaches to allow the preparation of any elusive isomers of these valuable chiral building blocks.

Abstract
Changing the primary metal coordination sphere is a powerful strategy for tuning metalloprotein properties. Here we used amber stop codon suppression with engineered pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetases, including two newly evolved enzymes, to replace the proximal histidine in myoglobin with Nδ -methylhistidine, 5-thiazoylalanine, 4-thiazoylalanine and 3-(3-thienyl)alanine. In addition to tuning the heme redox potential over a >200 mV range, these noncanonical ligands modulate the protein's carbene transfer activity with ethyl diazoacetate. Variants with increased reduction potential proved superior for cyclopropanation and N-H insertion, whereas variants with reduced Eo values gave higher S-H insertion activity. Given the functional importance of histidine in many enzymes, these genetically encoded analogues could be valuable tools for probing mechanism and enabling new chemistries.

Abstract
Heme enzymes are some of the most versatile catalysts in nature. In recent years it has been found that they can also catalyze reactions for which there are no equivalents in nature. This development has been driven by the abiological catalytic reactivity reported for bio-inspired and biomimetic iron porphyrin complexes. This review focuss es on heme enzymes for catalysis of cyclopropanation reactions. The two most important approaches used to create enzymes for cyclopropanation are repurposing of heme enzymes and the various strategies used to improve these enzymes such as mutagenesis and heme replacement, and artificial heme enzymes. These strategies are introduced and compared. Moreover, lessons learned with regard to mechanism and design principles are discussed.

Abstract
The electrochemical properties of [Formula: see text]-octaethylporphycene iridium complex (Ir-OEPo) were determined. Based on the electro-spectro measurement results, the reduction of Ir-OEPo did not occur at the central metal but at the ligand, while the reduction of [Formula: see text]-octaethylporphyrin iridium complex (Ir-OEPor) occurred at the central iridium. A catalytic current was observed during the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) under a reductive condition, indicating the catalytic reactivity of Ir-OEPo for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). By constant potential electrolysis, hydrogen gas was detected by gas chromatography (GC) and the catalytic reactivity of Ir-OEPo was confirmed. The HER mechanism via ligand reduction of macrocyclic aromatic complexes could be one of the concepts for the development of new catalysts.

Abstract
The assembly of DNA with metal-complex cofactors can form promising biocatalysts for asymmetric reactions, although catalytic performance is typically limited by low enantioselectivities and stereo-control remains a challenge. Here, we engineer G-quadruplex-based DNA biocatalysts for an asymmetric cyclopropanation reaction, achieving enantiomeric excess (eetrans) values of up to +91% with controllable stereoinversion, where the enantioselectivity switches to -72% eetrans through modification of the Fe-porphyrin cofactor. Complementary circular dichroism, nuclear magnetic resonance, and fluorescence titration experiments show that the porphyrin ligand of the cofactor participates in the regulation of the catalytic enantioselectivity via a synergetic effect with DNA residues at the active site. These findings underline the important role of cofactor modification in DNA catalysis and thus pave the way for the rational engineering of DNA-based biocatalysts.

Abstract
The difluoromethyl (CHF2 ) group has attracted significant attention in drug discovery and development efforts, owing to its ability to serve as fluorinated bioisostere of methyl, hydroxyl, and thiol groups. Herein, we report an efficient biocatalytic method for the highly diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of CHF2 -containing trisubstituted cyclopropanes. Using engineered myoglobin catalysts, a broad range of α-difluoromethyl alkenes are cyclopropanated in the presence of ethyl diazoacetate to give CHF2 -containing cyclopropanes in high yield (up to >99 %, up to 3000 TON) and with excellent stereoselectivity (up to >99 % de and ee). Enantiodivergent selectivity and extension of the method to the stereoselective cyclopropanation of mono- and trifluoromethylated olefins was also achieved. This methodology represents a powerful strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of high-value fluorinated building blocks for medicinal chemistry, as exemplified by the formal total synthesis of a CHF2 isostere of a TRPV1 inhibitor.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes naturally achieve various reactivities by assembling limited types of cofactors with endogenous amino acid residues. Enzymes containing metal porphyrinoid cofactors such as heme, cobalamin and F430 exert precise control over the reactivities of the cofactors with protein matrices. This perspective article focuses on our recent efforts to assemble metal complexes of non-natural porphyrinoids within the protein matrix of myoglobin, an oxygen storage hemoprotein. Engineered myoglobins with suitable metal complexes as artificial cofactors demonstrate unique reactivities toward C-H bond hydroxylation, olefin cyclopropanation, methyl group transfer and methane generation. In these cases, the protein matrix enhances the catalytic activities of the cofactors and allows us to monitor the active intermediates. The present findings indicate that placing artificial cofactors in protein matrices provides a useful strategy for creating artificial metalloenzymes that catalyse otherwise unfavourable reactions and providing enzyme models for elucidating the complicated reaction mechanisms of natural enzymes.

Abstract
The metal active site is precisely designed in metalloproteins. Here we applied 3D domain swapping, a phenomenon in which a partial protein structure is exchanged between molecules, to introduce metal sites in proteins. We designed multiple metal-binding sites specific to domain-swapped myoglobin (Mb) with His mutation. Stable dimeric Mbs with metal-binding sites were obtained by shifting the His position and introducing two Ala residues in the hinge region (K78H/G80A/H82A and K79H/G80A/H81A Mbs). The absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the monomer and dimer of K78H/G80A/H82A and K79H/G80A/H81A Mbs were similar to the corresponding spectra, respectively, of wild-type Mb. No negative peak due to dimer-to-monomer dissociation was observed below the denaturation temperature in the differential scanning calorimetry thermograms of K78H/G80A/H82A and K79H/G80A/H81A Mbs, whereas the dimer dissociates into monomers at 68 °C for wild-type Mb. These results show that the two mutants were stable in the dimer state. Metal ions bound to the metal-binding sites containing the introduced His in the domain-swapped Mb dimers. Co2+-bound and Ni2+-bound K78H/G80A/H82A Mb exhibited octahedral metal-coordination structures, where His78, His81, Glu85, and three H2O/OH- molecules coordinated to the metal ion. On the other hand, Co2+-bound and Zn2+-bound K79H/G80A/H81A Mb exhibited tetrahedral metal-coordination structures, where His79, His82, Asp141, and a H2O/OH- molecule coordinated to the metal ion. The Co2+-bound site exists deep inside the protein in the K79H/G80A/H81A Mb dimer, which may allow the unique tetrahedral coordination for the Co2+ ion. These results show that we can utilize domain swapping to construct artificial metalloproteins.

Abstract
The first boron complexes of porphycenes, structural isomers of porphyrin, are reported. They are synthesized in good yields by reacting the free-base porphycene ligands with BF3·Et2O through a microwave-assisted method. Depending on the substituent group of porphycenes, two different coordination structures, mono- and diboron porphycenes, are obtained simultaneously. The single crystal structures and DFT calculations suggest that the boron atom of the monoboron porphycene is favorably coordinated on the dipyrroethene site, and the regioisomer of diboron porphycene is of cisoid stereochemistry, which is more stable than transoid. We also investigate the protonation behavior of boron porphycene complexes. Diboron porphycene does not undergo protonation, whereas monoboron porphycene undergoes protonation at the nonboron coordinating pyrroline site, resulting in a red shift in both absorption and emission spectra. Protonation and deprotonation of monoboron porphycene can be reversibly triggered using acids and bases.

Abstract
A whole-cell biohybrid catalyst where a (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III) (Cp*Rh(III)) complex was covalently incorporated into the cavity of nitrobindin (NB), a β-barrel protein, was prepared on an E. coli cell surface to produce isoquinolines via C(sp2)-H bond activation. In this whole-cell biohybrid system, the Cp*Rh(III)-dithiophosphate complex with latent catalytic activity was utilized as a precursor of the metal cofactor. Strong chelation of the dithiophosphate ligands protects the rhodium complex from being deactivated by abundant nucleophiles in cellular environments during conjugation of the cofactor with the protein scaffold. The whole-cell biohybrid catalyst was then activated upon addition of Ag+ ion to dissociate the dithiophosphate ligands and promoted cycloaddition of acetophenone oxime with diphenylacetylene. Furthermore, the activity of the Cp*Rh(III)-linked whole-cell biohybrid catalyst was enhanced 2.1-fold by introducing glutamate residues at positions adjacent to the Cp*Rh(III) cofactor. These results indicate that the use of the Cp*Rh(III)-dithiophosphate complex with switchable activity from a "latent" form to an "active" form provides a new strategy for generating whole-cell biohybrid catalysts.

Abstract
Inspired by the structural features of native peroxidases, an artificial peroxidase was rationally designed using F43Y myoglobin with a Tyr-heme cross-link by further introduction of key residues, including both a distal Arg and a Trp close to the heme group, which exhibits an enhanced peroxidase activity similar to the most efficient native horseradish peroxidase. This study provides a simple approach for design of artificial heme enzymes by the combination of catalytic elements of native enzymes with the post-translational modifications of heme proteins.

Abstract
There are diverse reactions including spin-state crossing, especially the reactions catalyzed by transition metal compounds. To figure out the mechanisms of such reactions, the discussion of minimum energy intersystem crossing (MEISC) points cannot be avoided. These points may be the bottleneck of the reaction or inversely accelerate the reactions by providing a better pathway. It is of great importance to reveal their role in the reactions by computationally locating the position of the MEISC points together with the reaction pathway. However, providing a proper initial guess for the structure of the MEISC point is not as easy as that of the transition state. In this work, we extended the nudged elastic band (NEB) method for multiple spin systems, which is named the multiple spin-state NEB method, and it is successfully applied to find the MEISC points while optimizing the reaction pathway. For more precisely locating the MEISC point, a revised approach was adopted. Meanwhile, our examples also suggest that special attention should be paid to the criterion to define an image optimized as the MEISC point.

Abstract
We report the enhanced cis- and enantioselective cyclopropanation of styrene catalysed by cytochrome P450BM3 in the presence of dummy substrates, i.e. decoy molecules. With the aid of the decoy molecule R-Ibu-Phe, diastereoselectivity for the cis diastereomers reached 91%, and the enantiomeric ratio for the (1S,2R) isomer reached 94%. Molecular dynamics simulations underpin the experimental data, revealing the mechanism of how enantioselectivity is controlled by the addition of decoy molecules.

Abstract
We have introduced the first 3,6,13,16-tetrasubstituted porphycene as its tetramethoxy analogue. This substitution pattern is one of the most general patterns yet missing in this isomeric porphyrin chemistry. This porphycene exhibits intense fluorescence along with the ability to coordinate with divalent metal ions; in particular, it forms the first stable Zn(II) complex among the tetrasubstituted porphycenes. Notably, the molecular structure of Zn1•Py displays supramolecular chirality.

Abstract
Abiological enzymes offers new opportunities for sustainable chemistry. Herein, we report the development of biological catalysts derived from sperm whale myoglobin that exploit a carbene transfer mechanism for the asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropane-fused-δ-lactones, which are key structural motifs found in many biologically active natural products. While hemin, wild-type myoglobin, and other hemoproteins are unable to catalyze this reaction, the myoglobin scaffold could be remodeled by protein engineering to permit the intramolecular cyclopropanation of a broad spectrum of homoallylic diazoacetate substrates in high yields and with up to 99 % enantiomeric excess. Via an alternate evolutionary trajectory, a stereodivergent biocatalyst was also obtained for affording mirror-image forms of the desired bicyclic products. In combination with whole-cell transformations, the myoglobin-based biocatalyst was used for the asymmetric construction of a cyclopropyl-δ-lactone scaffold at a gram scale, which could be further elaborated to furnish a variety of enantiopure trisubstituted cyclopropanes.

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
Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR), which contains the nickel hydrocorphinoid cofactor F430, is responsible for biological methane generation under anaerobic conditions via a reaction mechanism which has not been completely elucidated. In this work, myoglobin reconstituted with an artificial cofactor, nickel(I) tetradehydrocorrin (NiI(TDHC)), is used as a protein-based functional model for MCR. The reconstituted protein, rMb(NiI(TDHC)), is found to react with methyl donors such as methyl p-toluenesulfonate and trimethylsulfonium iodide with methane evolution observed in aqueous media containing dithionite. Moreover, rMb(NiI(TDHC)) is found to convert benzyl bromide derivatives to reductively debrominated products without homocoupling products. The reactivity increases in the order of primary > secondary > tertiary benzylic carbons, indicating steric effects on the reaction of the nickel center with the benzylic carbon in the initial step. In addition, Hammett plots using a series of para-substituted benzyl bromides exhibit enhancement of the reactivity with introduction of electron-withdrawing substituents, as shown by the positive slope against polar substituent constants. These results suggest a nucleophilic SN2-type reaction of the Ni(I) species with the benzylic carbon to provide an organonickel species as an intermediate. The reaction in D2O buffer at pD 7.0 causes a complete isotope shift of the product by +1 mass unit, supporting our proposal that protonation of the organonickel intermediate occurs during product formation. Although the turnover numbers are limited due to inactivation of the cofactor by side reactions, the present findings will contribute to elucidating the reaction mechanism of MCR-catalyzed methane generation from activated methyl sources and dehalogenation.

Abstract
Myoglobin has recently emerged as a versatile metalloprotein scaffold for the design of efficient and selective biocatalysts for abiological carbene transfer reactions, including asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions. Over the past few years, our group has explored several strategies to modulate the carbene transfer reactivity of myoglobin-based catalysts, including the substitution of the native heme cofactor and conserved histidine axial ligand with non-native porphynoid ligands and alternative natural and unnatural amino acids as the metal-coordinating ligands, respectively. Herein, we report protocols for the generation and reconstitution in vitro and in vivo of myoglobin-based artificial carbene transferases incorporating non-native iron-porphynoid cofactors, also in combination with unnatural amino acids as the proximal ligand. These strategies are effective for imparting these myoglobin-based cyclopropanation biocatalysts with altered and improved function, including tolerance to aerobic conditions and improved reactivity toward electrondeficient olefins.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) comprise a synthetic metal complex in a protein scaffold. ArMs display performances combining those of both homogeneous catalysts and biocatalysts. Specifically, ArMs selectively catalyze non-natural reactions and reactions inspired by nature in water under mild conditions. In the past few years, the construction of ArMs that possess a genetically incorporated unnatural amino acid and the directed evolution of ArMs have become of great interest in the field. Additionally, biochemical applications of ArMs have steadily increased, owing to the fact that compartmentalization within a protein scaffold allows the synthetic metal complex to remain functional in a sea of inactivating biomolecules. In this review, we present updates on: 1) the newly reported ArMs, according to their type of reaction, and 2) the unique biochemical applications of ArMs, including chemoenzymatic cascades and intracellular/in vivo catalysis. We believe that ArMs have great potential as catalysts for organic synthesis and as chemical biology tools for pharmaceutical applications.
