Abstract
Enzyme catalysis is prominent in chemical synthesis due to its specificity, selectivity, and efficiency. However, enzymes often face challenges, such as inactivation and inhibition in practical applications, and are also limited by narrow reaction scopes in complex catalytic scenarios like cascade reactions. These persistent issues have driven the development of chemical modifications of enzymes, aiming to enhance enzyme catalysis with external chemical entities. Polymers are particularly notable among these entities for their functional moieties and protective effects on biomolecules, enhancing enzyme properties and even creating new‐to‐nature catalysis by harnessing catalytic promiscuity. This concept aims to introduce the field of protein‐polymer conjugates for diverse emerging applications across emulsion biocatalysis, artificial enzymes, and supramolecular enzyme catalysis.
