Combination of enzymes and transition metal catalysts enhances product yield in mammalian cells, suggesting new metabolic pathways.
Exogenous transition metal catalysts can be combined with natural enzymes to perform designed, non-natural tandem reactions within living mammalian cells. The resulting abiotic metabolic network can process exogenous substrates to yield fluorescent or bioactive products, only in those cells that harness both catalytic systems.
