Nanoenzymes Inactive precursors have been self‐assembled on the surface of gold nanoparticles to form chiral bimetallic catalytic sites able to perform enantioselective catalysis. Enantioselectivity in the cleavage of dinucleotides by a synthetic metalloenzyme is shown for the first time. For more details, see the Communication by L. J. Prins et al. on page 7028 ff.
