Abstract

Encapsulation of two enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and glucose oxidase (GOx), within peroxidase-like tourmaline microparticle (TM)-based colloidosomes was used to construct a functionalized microsystem capable of sustainable cascade cycling of nicotinamide cofactor (NAD+/NADH) via chemical signaling between spatially confined dual-enzyme and active membranes.
