Enzymatic microarchitectures with spatially controlled reactivity, engineered molecular sieving ability, favorable interior environment, and industrial productivity show great potential in synthetic protocellular systems and practical biotechnology, but their construction remains a significant challenge. Here, we proposed a Pickering emulsion interface-directed synthesis method to fabricate such a microreactor, in which a robust and defect-free MOF layer was grown around silica emulsifier stabilized droplet surfaces. The compartmentalized interior droplets can provide a biomimetic microenvironment to host free enzymes, while the outer MOF layer secludes active species from the surroundings and endows the microreactor with size-selective permeability. Impressively, the thus-designed enzymatic microreactor exhibited excellent size selectivity and long-term stability, as demonstrated by a 1000 h continuous-flow reaction, while affording completely equal enantioselectivities to the free enzyme counterpart. Moreover, the catalytic efficiency of such enzymatic microreactors was conveniently regulated through engineering of the type or thickness of the outer MOF layer or interior environments for the enzymes, highlighting their superior customized specialties. This study provides new opportunities in designing MOF-based artificial cellular microreactors for practical applications.

Bioprospection for new enantioselective enzymes for application in organic synthesis is a prominent area of investigation in biocatalysis. In this context, here we present the evaluation of an immobilized lipase isolated from a metagenomic library (LipG9) for the enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) of aliphatic sec-alcohols, which are still challenging substrates, since low enantioselectivity values are usually observed for these resolutions. LipG9 was successfully employed in EKR of aliphatic alcohols, which were resolved with satisfactory conversions (19-59%) and enantiomeric excesses for alcohols (26-88%) and esters (30-96%) by transesterification reactions, demonstrating that its performance is equal to or better than commercially available enzymes for the same reaction.
Design and asymmetric synthesis of chiral diaryliodonium salts

The application of chiral hypervalent iodine reagents in asymmetric synthesis is highly desirable, as the reagents are metal-free, environmentally benign and employed under mild conditions. Three chiral diaryliodonium salts have been designed to provide chemoselectivity and asymmetric induction in asymmetric α-phenylation of carbonyl compounds. The synthetic routes to the selected targets are detailed herein, together with a structural investigation into the diastereoselectivity of the alkylation process.
