Selective Hybrid Catalysts Based on Nucleic Acids

Selective Hybrid Catalysts Based on Nucleic Acids 

Hybrid catalysis is a concept that combines biocatalysis with homogeneous chemical catalysis. Typically, a chemical catalyst (most often a transition-metal complex) is anchored inside a pocket of a biomolecule, and, according to the original concept, the metal complex should provide the reactivity while the chiral environment of the biopolymer determines and fine-tunes the selectivity. Meanwhile, several systems have been developed where such a clear-cut distribution of work is not possible anymore and the biomolecule contributes significantly to rate acceleration.
