Enzymes are highly evolved catalysts that perform their tasks with high efficiency. 1 Hence,
they may constitute a very attractive reference in the development of a synthetic catalyst. The …

The appearance and evolution of biofuel cells can be categorized into three groups:
microbial biofuel cells (MBFCs), enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs), and enzyme-like …

Enzyme-simulating nanomaterials, with obvious advantages of high activity, stability and
cost-effectiveness, can surrogate the complex natural enzymes and catalyze enzyme-like …

Aromatic aldehydes find extensive applications in food, perfume, pharmaceutical, and
chemical industries. However, a limited natural enzyme selectivity has become the …

Epoxy resin thermosets (ERTs) are an important class of polymeric materials. However,
owing to their highly cross-linked nature, they suffer from poor recyclability, which …

Protocellular surface formation via the self-assembly of amphiphiles, and catalysis by simple
peptides/proto-RNA are two important pillars in the evolution of protocells. To hunt for …

To develop simple catalytic systems without well-defined tertiary structures is of paramount
importance to perform bio-inspired chemistry but remains challenge. Here, we have …

Aspartic proteases use a pair of carboxylic acids to activate water molecules for nucleophilic
attack. Here we report a nanoparticle catalyst with a similar catalytic motif capable of …
