Zusammenfassung:We report herein the design of a smart delivery system in which cargo delivery from capped mesoporous silica (MS) nano­particles is controlled by an integrated enzyme-based “control unit”. The system consists of Janus-type nano­particles having opposing Au and MS faces, functionalized with a pH-responsive β-cyclo­dextrin-based supra­molecular nano­valve on the MS surface and two effectors, glucose oxidase and esterase, immobilized on the Au face. The nano­device behaves as an enzymatic logical OR operator which is selectively fueled by the presence of d-glucose and ethyl butyrate.
