A PCCP paper on improving enzyme activity using nanoporous materials has featured in Materials Today this week.
The paper by Lung-Ching Sang and Marc-Olivier Coppens discusses how proteins adsorbed in nanoporous silica SBA-15 and propylated C3SBA-15 are perturbed to a different extent, leading to different enzymatic activity.
