Abstract
Abstract Nature has evolved highly efficient and complex systems to perform cascade reactions by the elegant combination of desired enzymes, offering a strategy for achieving efficient bioprocess intensification. Chemoenzymatic cascade reactions (CECRs) merge the complementary strengths of chemo-catalysis and bio-catalysis, such as the wide reactivity of chemo-catalysts and the exquisite selective properties of biocatalysts, representing an important step toward emulating nature to construct artificial systems for achieving bioprocess intensification. However, the incompatibilities between the two catalytic disciplines make CECRs highly challenging. In recent years, great advances have been made to develop strategies for constructing CECRs. In this regard, this chapter introduces the general concepts and representative strategies, including temporal compartmentalization, spatial compartmentalization and chemo-bio nanoreactors. Particularly, we focus on what platform methods and technologies can be used, and how to implement these strategies. The future challenges and strategies in this burgeoning research area are also discussed.
