Synzymes is a synthetic polymer molecule with catalytic function. Currently,
molecular imprinting and bio-imprinting techniques are used to prepare artificial
enzymes. The principle is similar to that of abzymes transition state. Protease
function and oxidoreductase have been preliminarily prepared. The artificial
enzymes and artificial enzymes of catalytic function can also be used for the
separation and purification of chiral drugs and compounds and the molecular
recognition of biosensors. At present, the number of catalytic conversions of
artificial enzymes is still very low, which requires multidisciplinary cooperation and
a deep understanding of the molecular mechanism of enzyme catalysis. It is possible
to outperform natural enzymes in special reactions.
The fields of enzymology and enzymatic engineering are also industrial applications
of immobilized biocatalysts and enzyme reactors, as well as sugar engineering for
enzymatic synthesis of sugar drugs involved in the regulation of life processes as
biofunctional information molecules, and are believed to be high in electronic
information technology. In the era of close cooperation between physics, chemical
technology and biological high technology, enzyme engineering will inevitably
deepen the realm, and there will be more innovative achievements in theory or
application.
