| Abstract: | Biocatalysis is a continuously expanding subfield in chemical biology. Herein, I describe two categories of biocatalysts, the LEGO-brick-like and game-console-like type, both of which can streamline the synthetic routes to therapeutics. A multi-disciplinary approach to expand the biocatalytic toolkit will open up opportunities to develop new therapeutics. |
