<P>Here we report a simple and efficient approach to fabricate a new biocatalytic system by co-immobilizing multi-enzyme on chemically reduced graphene oxide (CRGO) <I>via</I> non-covalent bonds. The obtained artificial biocatalyst was characterized by UV/Vis, FTIR, AFM, TEM and SEM. Compared with native and graphene oxide (GO) bounded enzymes, it was found that the glucose oxidase (GOD) or glucoamylase (GA) immobilized on CRGO exhibited significantly higher enzymatic activity, due to the positive effect of the CRGO carrier. This multi-enzyme microsystem was employed as a biocatalyst to accomplish the starch-to-gluconic acid reaction in one pot, and the yield of gluconic acid could reach 82% within 2 hours. It was also proved that the stability of the multi-enzyme biocatalyst immobilized on CRGO was dramatically enhanced compared with the GO microsystem. About 85% of the activity of the artificial biocatalyst could be preserved after four cycles. These results demonstrated the feasibility of the novel strategy to construct bio-microsystems with multi-enzyme on 2D CRGO <I>via</I> non-covalent bonds to accomplish some complex conversions.</P><BR><BR><P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>An artificial bio-microsystem, fabricated on a 2D GO-based material by non-covalent bonds, catalyzed the one-pot conversion of starch to gluconic acid (82% yield, 99% selectivity), similar to a living cell.<BR><IMG SRC='http://pubs.rsc.org/services/images/RSCpubs.ePlatform.Service.FreeContent.ImageService.svc/ImageService/image/GA?id=c3gc42545b'><BR></P>
