What Are Some Common Strategies in Bio Inspired Catalysis?
Several strategies are employed in bio inspired catalysis, including:
1. Mimicking Enzyme Active Sites: Designing synthetic catalysts that replicate the geometry and chemical environment of enzyme active sites. 2. Metalloenzymes: Utilizing metal ions in coordination complexes to mimic the action of metalloenzymes. 3. Biomimetic Ligands: Developing ligands that resemble the structure and function of natural enzyme cofactors. 4. Supramolecular Assemblies: Creating complex structures that mimic the multi-component nature of some enzymatic systems.
