Abstract

The surface of haemoglobin (Hb) is chemically modified to produce molecular dispersions of discrete core–shell Hb–polymer surfactant bionanoconjugates in water and organic solvents. The hybrid nanoconstructs exhibit peroxidase-like catalytic activity with enhanced turnover rates compared with native Hb in water.
