Nanobiocatalysis has rapidly developed into a subarea of enzyme
biotechnology. It combines the advances in nanotechnology that have
generated nanoscale materials of different sizes, shapes, and
physicochemical properties, and the excellent characteristics of
biocatalysts into an innovative technology. This book provides an
overview of the various relations between nanotechnology and
biocatalysis. It discusses the fabrication and application of
nanomaterials for the immobilization of enzymes used in the
sustainable production of goods and chemicals. Nanosupports have
several advantages compared with bulk solid materials because of
their high surface area, which results in a significantly reduced
mass transfer limitation and comparatively high enzyme loading.
These characteristics are also of great use for applications in the
fields of enzymatic biosensors, biofuel cells, bioelectronics, and
photoelectrochemical analyte detection, where conductive
nanomaterials improve the rate of electron transfer. The book also
presents an overview of nanotoxicology and covers nanostructured
enzyme catalysis in organic solvents and its potential application
for biodiesel production, probing of enzymatic activity, and
identification of enzyme functions of inorganic nanoparticles as
enzyme mimics.
