The need for sustainable chemistry urges the scientific community to design clean chemical processes. In this context, the concept of green chemistry has emerged,[1] and involves twelve principles with respect to avoiding both the use and the generation of hazardous substances. Biocatalysis is a promising strategy which fulfills most of these principles (catalysis, reduction of organic solvent, nondangerous synthesis and selective reactions, atom economy, nontoxic metals, etc.).[2] One approach to creating new biocatalysts for a defined reaction is the design of artificial metalloenzymes which are based on the combination of metal-based catalysis (by an inorganic complex) and protein-driven reaction selectivity, thus conferring unnatural activities to biomolecules.[3] Compared to natural enzymes, the advantage of these hybrids resides in an additional degree of optimization based on structural modifications of the inorganic complex embedded within the protein. A great variety of reactions has been tackled using artificial metalloenzymes.[5] Among them, the field of oxidation seems to be promising because artificial hybrids can overcome the drawbacks of di (mono) oxygenases, that is, the requirement of multiprotein complexes, including the redox partner (ferredoxins or NADPH reductase for example).[6]
