DESCRIPTION:Prof. Thomas Ward\, Chemistry Department \, University of Base
 l\nArtificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) have attracted increasing attention in
  the past two decades as attractive alternatives to either homogeneous cat
 alysts or enzymes. ArMs result from anchoring a catalytically-competent ab
 iotic metal cofactor within a host protein\, see Figure. The resulting ArM
 s combine attractive features of both homogeneous- and bio-catalysts.[1-3]
  Within the group\, we have chemo-genetically optimized the performance of
  ArMs for twenty different reactions. Following a general introduction on 
 the underlying principles of ArMs\, this talk will highlight our recent pr
 ogress towards engineering and evolving hybrid catalysts with an emphasis 
 on new-to-nature transformations for whole-cell biocatalysis\, including m
 etal-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer chemistry.
