Abstract
The application of specific chemical strategies to alter the structure of enzymes in order to improve their catalytic properties in different biotransformations has been a central role in biocatalysis in recent years. Particularly, cycloaddition reactions have represented a successfully methodology for enzyme chemistry because it is chemoselective and extremely rate-accelerated in aqueous media. Some of the most current examples in the use of click chemistry for site-specific modification and immobilization of enzymes has been reviewed in the present article.
Keywords: 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition, Diels-Alder reaction, chemical modification, biocatalysis, biotransformations, selectivity, chemoselectivity, enatioselectivity.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
