Multi-Enzyme Cascade Reaction Systems

Biocatalysts, largely enzymes, have proven to be powerful in many industrial and biomedical processes due to their energy-efficient catalytic manners, unique selectivity for substrates, and absence of organic and toxic reagents. In nature, multiple enzymes often work together as a catalytic system that accomplishes catalysis in a highly efficient way, where the intermediates are transported between adjacent active sites of enzyme subunits or of different enzymes.

Inspired by multi-enzyme reaction systems in nature, researchers have devoted efforts to reconstitute those cascade reaction systems in vitro with precise engineering designs. Except for modification of enzymes with strategies based on the combination of biological, chemical and computational methods, researchers have exploited techniques to immobilize and co-localize enzymes, either through covalent linkage to one and the same macromolecular scaffold or by direct coupling a set of enzymes to each other.
