Man-made activity: Introduction of a biotinylated iridium piano stool complex within streptavidin affords an artificial imine reductase (see scheme). Saturation mutagenesis allowed optimization of the activity and the enantioselectivity of this metalloenzyme, and its X-ray structure suggests that a nearby lysine residue acts as a proton source during the transfer hydrogenation.
