Key points

  • Biocatalysis refers to the use of natural catalysts, such as protein enzymes, to conduct chemical reactions. 
  • These biocatalysts are particularly advantageous in chemical processes because they combine the selectivity of directing groups and the efficiency of catalysts into single reagents. 
  • Enzymes can also be combined with other enzymes in one-pot reactions, allowing for complex multi-step syntheses.
