Sünteesientsüdeerü, more commonly known as synthetic enzymes, are artificial catalysts that mimic the function of naturally occurring enzymes. Unlike natural enzymes, which are proteins produced by living organisms, synthetic enzymes are typically constructed using non-protein materials or modified protein scaffolds. Their design and creation fall under the umbrella of biomimetic chemistry and synthetic biology.

The primary goal in developing synthetic enzymes is to engineer catalysts with enhanced stability, novel functionalities, or specific selectivities not found in natural counterparts. This can involve designing molecules that can catalyze reactions under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or in organic solvents, where natural enzymes would denature. Furthermore, synthetic enzymes can be tailored to catalyze reactions that do not occur in biological systems, opening up possibilities for new chemical transformations and industrial processes.

Various approaches are employed in the synthesis of these artificial catalysts. One method involves creating small molecules or metal complexes that can bind to a substrate and facilitate a chemical reaction. Another approach utilizes peptide or protein scaffolds, often modified or computationally designed, to present catalytic sites. The development of synthetic enzymes holds significant promise for applications in areas such as drug discovery, environmental remediation, and industrial chemical synthesis, offering more robust and versatile catalytic solutions.
