Nanobiocatalysis Laboratory

Nanobiocatalysis Laboratory is demonstrating unprecedented successes in stabilizing enzyme activities via original approaches of enzyme coatings (ECs), nanoscale enzyme reactors (NERs) and single enzyme nanoparticles (SENs). These approaches are developed based on the introduction of nanomaterials, and corresponding chemical conjugation strategies, for the immobilization of enzymes. Our studies have revealed that once enzymes are immobilized and stabilized in the form of nanobiocatalysis, they exhibit long lifetime under harsh storage conditions and can be easily reused for multiple times. Based on its stability and reusability, we are demonstrating successful applications of nanobiocatalysis in various fields including biofuel cells, biosensors, trypsin digestions, ELISA, antifouling and CO2 conversion.
