✦ Synopsis

A current area of interest in the design and synthesis of solid catalysts is the creation of materials that contain multiple types of active centers. These functionalities may be used to perform several steps in a reaction sequence or work in a cooperative manner to alter the characteristics of a single reaction, for example, rates, selectivities, and so forth. Enzymes, such as aldolases, are interesting examples of multifunctional catalysts as they are capable of conducting multistep reactions. Enzymes immobilize mutually incompat-[
