Novel nanoparticle/enzyme biosilicified nanohybrids for advanced heterogeneously catalyzed protocols†
Abstract
Novel bio-nanohybrids based on room temperature one-pot synthesized lipase-nanoparticle systems were developed and characterized in this work, with subsequent investigations of their catalytic activities and stability as compared to the free enzymes. Preliminary results revealed excellent stabilities, solvent tolerance, and activities as compared to free lipases, opening up further scenarios for their utilization under continuous flow conditions as well as in tandem reactions.
