金属酶在促进具有高效率和高选择性的具有挑战性的氧化还原转化方面是显著的。在替代能源领域，科学家们的目标是在生物启发和工程生物分子催化剂中捕获这些特性，以便从水和二氧化碳等低能量原料中高效快速地生产燃料。在这篇简短的评论中，强调了模拟质子还原和二氧化碳还原的生物催化剂的努力。两个重要的反复出现的主题是催化剂活性位点的微环境的重要性和质子传递到活性位点在实现期望的反应性中的关键作用。还提供了对当前和未来挑战的看法。
Metalloenzymes are remarkable for facilitating challenging redox transformations with high efficiency and selectivity. In the area of alternative energy, scientists aim to capture these properties in bioinspired and engineered biomolecular catalysts for the efficient and fast production of fuels from low‐energy feedstocks such as water and carbon dioxide. In this short review, efforts to mimic biological catalysts for proton reduction and carbon dioxide reduction are highlighted. Two important recurring themes are the importance of the microenvironment of the catalyst active site and the key role of proton delivery to the active site in achieving desired reactivity. Perspectives on ongoing and future challenges are also provided.
