Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing single enzyme nanoparticles through silica encapsulation according to the present disclosure does not include a surface functionalization process and a polymerization process during the synthesis, and reaction conditions are mild. Thus, the method is appropriate for a large scale production.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Silica encapsulated single-enzyme nanoparticles comprising a single enzyme and a silica network surrounding the single enzyme and having pores, wherein no covalent bond is formed between the single enzyme and the silica network, and the silica encapsulated single-enzyme nanoparticles have a Michaelis-Menten constant (K m ) value with a margin of error not greater than 20% as compared to that of free enzymes, and wherein the silica network has a thickness of 0.5-2.0 nm. 2. The silica encapsulated single-enzyme nanoparticles according to claim 1 , wherein the silica encapsulated single-enzyme nanoparticles have a Michaelis-Menten constant (K m ) value with a margin of error not greater than 10% as compared to that of free enzymes. 3. The silica encapsulated single-enzyme nanoparticles according to claim 1 , wherein the silica encapsulated single-enzyme nanoparticles have a Michaelis-Menten constant (K m ) value with a margin of error not greater than 3% as compared to that of free enzymes. 4. The silica encapsulated single-enzyme nanoparticles according to claim 1 , wherein the pore has a size of 0.1-2 nm.
