Book synopsis

Nanomaterials for Biocatalysis explains the fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of nanoscale biocatalysts, such as bioconversions, bioelectronics, biosensors, biocomputing and therapeutic applications. Nano-biocatalyst refers to the incorporation of enzymes into nanomaterials. These enzyme-enhanced nanocarriers have many advantages, including low mass transfer limitation, high enzyme capacity, better stabilization, and the formation of single-enzyme nanoparticles. Smart nanocontainers have been developed for the smart release of their embedded active substances.  These smart releases can be obtained by using smart coatings as their outer nanoshells. In this regard, the enzyme could be released from nanocontainers by external or internal stimuli which refer to the chemical/physical/biochemical changes within or surrounding the nanocontainer. In addition, these nanocontainers could protect the enzymes from chemical or metabolic alterations on their delivering pathways towards the target. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and chemical engineers who want to know more about how nanomaterials are being used for biocatalysis applications. Explains the major fabrication techniques and applications of nanobiocatalystsShows how nanobiocatalysts are used in a variety of environmental and biomedical sectorsAssesses the major challenges to the widespread manufacture of nanobiocatalysts
