Harnessing the power of cell biocatalysis for sustainable chemical synthesis requires rational integration of living cells with modern synthetic catalysts. Here, the authors introduce a silica-tiling strategy to enhance yeast cell biocatalysts by creating a nanospace with 2D silica bilayers hosting metal catalysts, enabling chemobiotic reactions without affecting cell viability.
