Carbon–carbon bond formation represents a key reaction in organic synthesis, resulting paramount importance for constructing the carbon backbone of molecules. However, traditional metal-based catalysis, despite its advantages, often struggles with issues related to efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. On other hand, while biocatalysis offers superior selectivity due an extraordinary recognition process substrate, scope applicable reactions remains somewhat limited. In this context, Artificial Metalloenzymes (ArMs) Metallo Peptides (MPs) offer promising not fully explored solution, merging two fields transition metal catalysis biotransformations, by inserting catalytically active cofactor into customizable protein scaffold or coordinating ion directly short tunable amino acid (Aa) sequence, respectively. As result, these hybrid catalysts have gained attention as valuable tools challenging catalytic transformations, providing systems new-to-nature properties synthesis. This review overview recent advances development ArMs MPs, focusing on their application asymmetric carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions, such carbene insertion, Michael additions, Friedel–Crafts cross-coupling cyclopropanation, underscoring versatility synthesizing biologically relevant compounds.
