When it comes to synthesis, biology invariably trumps man-made efforts. As a result there is great interest in “synthetic biology”, which aims for synthetic procedures that mimic the selectivity and efficiency of natural systems, largely by enrolling enzymes to expedite reactions. Researchers at the US Naval Research Laboratory have now shed light on how these enzymes can be tethered and stabilised for re-use while maximising their catalytic functions……
