The Cover shows a new approach to biocatalysis involving enzymes on carbon particles as a heterogeneous catalyst for H 2 ‐driven hydrogenations. In their Full Paper, Reeve et al. demonstrate that these particles operate in unbuffered water, give high yields of phenylethanol from acetophenone, and are easy to separate and re‐use. Reaction rate is enhanced by co‐immobilizing NADH‐dependent alcohol dehydrogenase with the H 2 ‐driven NADH recycling system, and high turnover numbers of both enzyme and cofactor are achieved. More details can be found in the Full Paper by K. A. Vincent et al. on page 3480 in Issue 21, 2015 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201500766).
