**** **Engineering enzyme surfaces for the fabrication of heterogeneous catalysts and chemoenzymatic nanoreactors** **** **** The development of polymeric hybrid materials in which enzymes are embedded is an attractive approach to both immobilize and stabilize biocatalysts. Our group has recently developed a versatile methodology to encapsulate enzymes individually within a polymeric material, resulting in the so-called single enzyme nanogels (SENs). This acrylic-based polymer does not show diffusional issues and improves the stability of the enzyme significantly. Moreover, the polymeric shell can be decorated with many functional groups, for example, imidazolate residues, in order to coordinate metal cations or organic molecules. The combination of confined imidazole motifs and transition metallic cations triggers the precipitation of the engineered enzymes and the fabrication of diverse micro-/nanostructures [1,2,3]. Lately, we have also focused our attention on synthetizing advanced chemoenzymatic nanoreactors by confining SENs and organic catalysts for bioremediation [4]. [1] A. Rodriguez-Abetxuko, M.C.
