Fabrication of Enzyme-Nanoparticle Complexes Exhibiting High Enzymatic Activity in Organic Solvents

我发现了一种即使在有机溶剂中也能促进酶反应的新方法。酶被嵌入在磁性纳米颗粒和纳米线等纳米结构上制备的有机层中。有机层具有由内部亲水性和外部疏水性组成的双层结构。包埋酶在有机溶剂中长期浸泡后仍表现出较高的酶活力，这是因为有机层的亲水环境保护了酶的失活。

I found a new method to promote enzymatic reactions even in organic solvents. Enzyme was embedded in an organic layer that was prepared on nanostructures such as magnetic nanoparticles and nanowires. The organic layer has a bilayer structure consisting of inner hydrophilic and outer hydrophobic properties. The embedded enzyme showed a high activity even after the long-term immersion of the enzyme-nanoparticle complex in organic solvent, because the hydrophilic environment of the organic layer would protect from the deactivation of enzyme.
