Lewis Base Catalysis in Organic Synthesis
TL;DR: It has become increasingly apparent that the behavior of Lewis bases as agents for promoting chemical reactions is not merely as an electronic complement of the cognate Lewis acids: in fact Lewis bases are capable of enhancing both the electrophilic and nucleophilic character of molecules to which they are bound.

Size-Selective Lewis Acid Catalysis in a Microporous Metal-Organic Framework with Exposed Mn2+ Coordination Sites
TL;DR: The Mukaiyama-aldol reaction, known to require much more active Lewis catalysts, is also catalyzed in the presence of 1, representing the first such example for a metal-organic framework.

Prediction of the Occurrence of the ADP-binding βαβ-fold in Proteins, Using an Amino Acid Sequence Fingerprint
TL;DR: An amino acid sequence “fingerprint” has been derived that can be used to test if a particular sequence will fold into aβαβ-unit with ADP-binding properties, which is in fact a set of 11 rules describing the type of amino acid that should occur at a specific position in a peptide fragment.

Enzymatic catalysis in anhydrous organic solvents
TL;DR: Not only do enzymes work vigorously in anhydrous organic media, but in this unnatural milieu they acquire remarkable properties such as greatly enhanced stability, radically altered substrate and enantiomeric specificities, molecular memory, and the ability to catalyse unusual reactions.

Immobilized Enzymes and Cells as Practical Catalysts
TL;DR: Applications of immobilized enzymes and cells in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, in clinical and chemical analyses, and in medicine, as well as probable future trends in enzyme technology are discussed.

Role of solvents in the control of enzyme selectivity in organic media
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of changing the reaction medium on enzyme enantio- and regioselectivity, examine the possible reasons for this phenomenon, and consider the prospects for exploiting medium engineering in organic transformations.
