title: From Photodriven Charge Accumulation to Fueling Enzyme Cascades in Molecular Factories.
abstract: In a multi-disciplinary team effort we gather experts on light-to-chemical energy conversion, artificial metalloenzymes, and bio-inspired polymer vesicles in order to construct molecular factories which produce added-value chemicals in an overall process fueled by solar energy. We outline our long-term vision and discuss specific challenges associated with this endeavor.
