Preparation of magnetite-fullerene nanocomposite with enzyme immobilization

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2012 Sep;12(9):6907-12. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2012.6563.

Abstract

This study presents modification of magnetite nanoparticles and fullerene for biocompatibility. It show also specific fabrication of magnetite-carbon nanocomposite with immobilized biomolecule. The composites were created by joining individual components step-by-step manner (fullerene to magnetite and glucose oxidase or glucose oxidase to magnetite and fullerene). The resulting nanocomposites were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
