The development of artificial enzymes is significant for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a deeper understanding of enzyme mechanisms by allowing researchers to deconstruct and reconstruct catalytic functions. Secondly, artificial enzymes offer a solution to the limitations of natural enzymes, such as stability, availability, and cost. They can be tailored to operate under harsh industrial conditions where natural enzymes may denature. Additionally, artificial enzymes have potential applications in medicine, environmental remediation, and green chemistry.
