Design of Artificial Enzymes: Insights into Protein Scaffolds

Abstract: The design of artificial enzymes has emerged as a promising tool for the generation of potent biocatalysts able to promote new‐to‐nature reactions with improved catalytic performances, providing a powerful platform for wide‐ranging applications and a better understanding of protein functions and structures. The selection of an appropriate protein scaffold plays a key role in the design process. This review aims to give a general overview of the most common protein scaffolds that can be exploited for the generation of artificial enzymes. Several examples are discussed and categorized according to the strategy used for the design of the artificial biocatalyst, namely the functionalization of natural enzymes, the creation of a new catalytic site in a protein scaffold bearing a wide hydrophobic pocket and de novo protein design. The review is concluded by a comparison of these different methods and by our perspective on the topic.
