In the quest for more efficient and sustainable asymmetric catalytic methods, synthetic organic chemistry has relentlessly explored innovative techniques. This Comment highlights an emerging topic — photoelectrochemical asymmetric catalysis (PEAC) — which fuses molecular photoelectrocatalysis with asymmetric catalysis.
Biocatalysis needs improved reproducibility and quality of research reporting. Our interdisciplinary team has developed a flexible and extensible metadata catalogue based on STRENDA guidelines, essential for describing complex experimental setups in biocatalysis. The catalogue is available online via GitHub for community use.
