This HOT perspective in Catalysis Science and Technology gives an insightful review from Miami into recent developments being made in biocatalysts. Their review covers the use of peptides to synthesise monometallic and multicomponent nanocatalysts, the use of peptide-scaffolds to produce non-spherical inorganic nanostructures and the potential of nanozymes. Nanozymes are bionanocatalysts which exploit the catalytic properties of enzyme active sites with the high dispersion and accessibility provided by colloids…… exciting stuff!
