5,10-Bis(2′,6′-dibromophenyl)porphyrins bearing various substituents at the 10 and 20 positions were demonstrated to be versatile synthons for modular construction of chiral porphyrins via palladium-catalyzed amidation reactions with chiral amides. The quadruple carbon-nitrogen bond formation reactions were accomplished in high yields with different chiral amide building blocks under mild conditions, forming a family of D2-symmetric chiral porphyrins. Cobalt(II) complexes of these chiral porphyrins were prepared in high yields and shown to be active catalysts for highly enantioselective and diastereoselective cyclopropanation under a practical one-pot protocol (alkenes as limiting reagents and no slow addition of diazo reagents).

The assembly of DNA with metal-complex cofactors can form promising biocatalysts for asymmetric reactions, although catalytic performance is typically limited by low enantioselectivities and stereo-control remains a challenge. Here, we engineer G-quadruplex-based DNA biocatalysts for an asymmetric cyclopropanation reaction, achieving enantiomeric excess (eetrans) values of up to +91% with controllable stereoinversion, where the enantioselectivity switches to ?72% eetransthrough modification of the Fe-porphyrin cofactor. Complementary circular dichroism, nuclear magnetic resonance, and fluorescence titration experiments show that the porphyrin ligand of the cofactor participates in the regulation of the catalytic enantioselectivityviaa synergetic effect with DNA residues at the active site. These findings underline the important role of cofactor modification in DNA catalysis and thus pave the way for the rational engineering of DNA-based biocatalysts.

By constructing an in vivo-assembled, catalytically proficient peroxidase, C45, we have recently demonstrated the catalytic potential of simple, de novo-designed heme proteins. Here, we show that C45's enzymatic activity extends to the efficient and stereoselective intermolecular transfer of carbenes to olefins, heterocycles, aldehydes, and amines. Not only is this a report of carbene transferase activity in a completely de novo protein, but also of enzyme-catalyzed ring expansion of aromatic heterocycles via carbene transfer by any enzyme.
