Nanozymes: an emerging field bridging nanotechnology and biology

Enzymes are biological catalysts that can convert substrates into products in biochemical reactions.In 1926,the first enzyme,urease,was determined to be a protein by James B.Sumner who won the Nobel Prize in 1946.Since then,enzymes have been considered to be proteins,which allows them to achieve the...

Zusammenfassung:Enzymes are biological catalysts that can convert substrates into products in biochemical reactions.In 1926,the first enzyme,urease,was determined to be a protein by James B.Sumner who won the Nobel Prize in 1946.Since then,enzymes have been considered to be proteins,which allows them to achieve their high catalytic activity with high specific activity under mild conditions.However,in general,the enzyme activity of proteins is lost after exposure to extremes of p H and high temperature,and proteins are also susceptible to digestion by proteases in the environment,which dramatically hinders their practical applications in
