ConspectusThe evolutionary complexity of compartmentalized biostructures (such as cells and organelles) endows life-sustaining multistep chemical cascades intricate living functionalities. Relatively, within a very short time span, synthetic paradigm has resulted in tremendous growth controlling the materials at different length scales (molecular, nano, micro, macro), improving mechanistic understanding setting design principals toward compositions, configurations, structures, turn fine-tuning their optoelectronic catalytic properties for targeted applications. Bioorthogonal catalysis offers highly versatile toolkit biochemical modulation capability to perform new-to-nature reactions inside systems, endowing augmented functions. However, conventional catalysts have limitations control under physiological conditions due hostile bioenvironment. The present account details development bioapplicable multicomponent designer nanoreactors (NRs), where morphologies, interfacial active sites, microenvironments around metal nanocatalysts can be precisely controlled by novel nanospace-confined chemistries. Different architectures porous, hollow, open-mouth silica-based nano-housings facilitate accommodation, protection, selective access nanoscale metal-based sites. modular porosity/composition, optical transparency, thermal insulation, nontoxicity silica are useful. Moreover, large macropores or cavities also occupied enzymes (for chemoenzymatic cascades) selectivity enhancers stimuli-responsive gating) along with nanocatalysts. Further, it is crucial selectively activate remotely operable biocompatible energy source.

Abstract Recent years have witnessed a considerable progress in research aimed at merging transition metal catalysis with chemical and cell biology. Therefore, crescent number of metal‐catalyzed transformations been shown compatible biological media even living settings. Of the different metals used to build these biocompatible catalysts, ruthenium has demonstrated be particularly powerful, part because resulting complexes exhibit very good balance between reactivity stability. Indeed, utility promote great variety reactions biologically relevant contexts, from deprotection redox processes cycloadditions or photocatalytic transformations. Many may enable development new type tools pharmacological strategies.

The discovery and development of artificial catalysts to carry out bioorthogonal reactions in living cells is a primary goal at the interface Chemistry Biology. Current approaches rely on time-consuming trial-and-error methods. As an alternative, we show that positionally addressable combinatorial libraries (SPOT libraries) provide significant advantage for efficient identification novel catalytic metallopeptides. Using these libraries, were able rapidly identify β-hairpin palladopeptides capable promoting depropargylation challenging intracellular environments.

4 Metal Catalysis in Live Environments DOI
José L. Mascareñas, María Tomás‐Gamasa

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Abstract Bioorthogonal chemistry has revolutionized the field of chemical biology, providing powerful tools for manipulating molecules in biological environments, including living cells and organisms. For many years, these transformations have been mainly limited to well-known copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloadditions (CuAAC) metal-free reactions with strained reagents. However, recent years it widely demonstrated that some transition-metal-catalyzed may also be performed settings, enabling, among other applications, bioimaging targets structures or pro drug activations. Particularly attractive is possibility using organometallic catalysis performing synthetic, bond-forming reactions, as this can lead new types technologies exploration biomedical discovery.
