Synthesis of heterogeneous enzyme-metal nanoparticle biohybrids in aqueous media and their applications in C-C bond formation and tandem catalysis

Abstract

The straightforward synthesis of novel enzyme-metalNP nanobiohybrids in aqueous medium was developed. These new nanobiohybrids were excellent multivalent catalysts combining both activities in various sets of synthetic reactions even at ultra-low concentrations (ppb amount).
