7.20 Multi-Enzyme Reactions

To transfer to the laboratory, the excellent efficiency shown by enzymes in Nature, biocatalysis had to mimic several synthetic strategies used by Nature to achieve its objectives. Thus, the biosynthetic pathways developed by living beings may be assimilated in the biocatalysis field to the use of isolated multienzyme systems in the homogeneous phase. In this chapter, the authors have described and discussed several examples of the use of different multienzyme strategies in Asymmetric Synthesis.
