Lewis acid zeolites catalyze the isomerization of sugars via reaction pathways similar to those used by metalloenzymes, Mark E. Davis of Caltech and coworkers report (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1206708109). Silica zeolites with a zeolite-beta structure and containing small amounts of Ti4+ or Sn4+, known as Ti-beta and Sn-beta, respectively, have previously been shown to catalyze isomerization of glucose to fructose, a reaction carried out industrially with an immobilized enzyme,
