Abstract
Examples of catalysis by proteins, notably by serum albumins (SA), in organic reactions are reported. The chiral discrimination of bovine se rum albumin (BSA) in the photolysis of racemic organic molecules resul ts into an effective enantiomeric enrichment process. Thus, catalysis by proteins in thermal reactions and biomolecular recognition, particu larly in photochemical processes, appears to be a sound matter of inte rest.
