Abstract

enzymes have catalytic properties far beyond ordinary chemical reactions, and their core is based on the unique spatial structure of active centers and multiple catalytic mechanisms. In this paper, the four structural characteristics of active center topology, functional groups, hydrophobic low dielectric microenvironment and dynamic conformation are systematically reviewed, and four basic catalytic pathways, namely proximity orientation, acid-base, covalent and metal ions, are explained; The new catalytic theories, such as pre organization effect and quantum tunneling, are reviewed. The freeze-thaw electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy are introduced XFEL、 The research and development progress and existing bottlenecks of artificial metalloenzyme and deep learning de novo enzyme were summarized. Relevant research can not only reveal the underlying laws of life molecules, but also provide theoretical support for enzyme engineering transformation and the development of new biocatalysts. Although interdisciplinary research and development promote the development of artificial enzymes, the problem of dynamic regulation and reproduction of active centers remains to be solved. Subsequent fine-scale analysis and theoretical model optimization will help the development of green synthesis, biomedicine and other fields.
