For the construction of new biocatalysts it might be necessary to attach a water‐insoluble organometallic residue covalently to a soluble enzyme. Reverse micelles—“microreactors” with a polar center and a nonpolar shell—can achieve this, as shown by the covalent binding of carboxyferrocene (FcCOOH) to glucose oxidase (ENH 2 ) in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/ N ‐hydroxysuccinimide as activating couple [Eq. (a)] in a system containing borate buffer, n ‐octane, aerosol OT, and acetonitrile.
