Research Project	Development of Biohybrid Catalysts Having Asymmetric Coordination Sphere within a Barrel Protein
Co-Investigator	Takashi Hayashi（Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University）
Abstract	This project aims at developing biohybrid catalysts marrying a metal complex and a protein scaffold, which provides asymmetric outer coordination sphere, to explore regio-, and chemoselective reactions. Toward this ends, we have constructed biohybrid catalysts harboring a Cp*Rh complex covalently-linked within a hydrophobic cavity of a rigid b-barrel protein, nitrobindin, and will explore to perform C−C bond-forming reactions including isoquinoline synthesis using the Rh-linked biohybrid catalysts. We have also constructed a unique p-expanded reaction cavity tethering a polycyclic moiety which provides a platform for substrate binding within the robust b-barrel structure of nitrobindin. The nitrobindin variants with the cavities of different sizes and shapes are coupled with a pyrene moiety to prepare a series of biohybrid catalysts. The Diels-Alder reaction between azacalcone and cyclopentadiene and other reactions will be tested within the pyrene-linked reaction cavity.
