Abstract

A general approach for preparing enzyme–polymer nanoconjugates that respond to temperature in organic media is presented. These nanoconjugates readily dissolve in organic solvents for homogenous catalysis at 40 °C and showed greatly enhanced apparent catalytic activities. The recovery of the soluble enzyme–polymer nanoconjugates is accomplished by temperature-induced precipitation.
