Bridging the Chemical and Biological Catalysis Gap: Challenges and Outlooks for Producing Sustainable Chemicals
Abstract
Recent advances in metabolic engineering have allowed for the production of a wide array of molecules via biocatalytic routes. The high selectivity of biocatalysis to remove functionality from biomass can be used to produce platform molecules that are suitable for subsequent upgrading over heterogeneous catalysts. Accordingly, the more robust continuous processing allowed by chemical catalysis could be leveraged to upgrade biologically derived platform molecules to produce direct or functional replacements for petroleum products. Herein, we highlight recent results that utilize a combination of chemical and biological catalysis, and using the perspective of heterogeneous chemical catalysis, we identify challenges that need to be addressed to bridge the gap between the two catalytic approaches. Specifically, studies are required to address the effects on catalyst performance of impurities that originate during bioprocessing. In addition, new generations of heterogeneous catalysts are required for stable operation under liquid phase reaction conditions in the presence of biogenic impurities. Finally, the design and syntheses of new catalysts are required to tailor the active sites and the environment around these sites to achieve selective conversion of the functional groups present in biologically derived platform molecules.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
