What is Biocatalytic Retrosynthesis in Chemistry about?

This document discusses the potential for using biocatalytic retrosynthesis in organic synthesis. It notes that while nature uses enzymes (biocatalysts) to create complex molecules, organic textbooks rarely include enzymatic reactions in retrosynthetic analysis. However, advances in protein engineering and directed evolution have expanded the substrate ranges and applications for biocatalysts. The authors argue that biocatalytic retrosynthesis should be developed and taught, to help chemists identify where
