Abstract
The Diels-Alder (DA) reaction is a cycloaddition of a conjugated diene and an alkene (dienophile) leading to the formation of a cyclohexene derivative through a concerted mechanism. As DA reactions generally proceed with a high degree of regio- and stereoselectivity, they are widely used in synthetic organic chemistry. Considering eco-conscious public and governmental movements, efforts are now directed towards the development of synthetic processes that meet environmental concerns. Artificial enzymes, which can be developed to catalyze abiotic reactions, appear to be important synthetic tools in the synthetic biology field. This review describes the different strategies used to develop protein-based artificial enzymes for DA reactions, including for in cellulo approaches.
