Abstract
Biocatalysis is increasingly being explored for the sustainable development of green industry. Though enzymes show great industrial potential with their high efficiency, specificity, and selectivity, they suffer from poor usability and stability under abiological conditions. To solve these problems, researchers have fabricated nano- and micro-sized biocatalytic reactors based on the self-assembly of various polymers, leading to highly stable, functional, and reusable biocatalytic systems. This Review highlights recent progress in self-assembled polymeric nano- and microreactors for biocatalytic synthesis, including polymersomes, reverse micelles, polymer emulsions, Pickering emulsions, and static emulsions. We categorize these reactors into monophasic and biphasic systems and discuss their structural characteristics and latest successes with representative examples. We also consider the challenges and potential solutions associated with the future development of this field.

Abstract
With the special nature of confined water pools, reverse micelles (RMs) have shown potential for a wide range of applications. However, the inherent water insolubility of RMs hinders their further application prospect especially for applications related to biology. We present herein the first successful transformation of water-insoluble RMs into water-soluble nanoparticles without changing the confined aqueous interiors by hydrolysis/aminolysis of arm-cleavable interfacial cross-linked reverse micelles formed from diester surfactant 1. The unique properties exhibited by the aqueous interiors of the resulting pool-buried water-soluble nanoparticles (PWNPs) were demonstrated both by the template synthesis of gold nanoparticles in the absence of external reductants and by the fluorescence enhancement of encapsulated thioflavin T (ThT). Importantly, the unique potential for PWNPs in biological applications was exemplified by the use of ThT@PWNPs and "cell targeted" ThT@PWNPs as effective optical imaging agents of living cells. This work conceptually overcomes the application bottleneck of RMs and opens an entry to a new class of functional materials.

Abstract
The interaction of the antioxidant Rutin with the radical DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) in presence of cationic (CTAB, TTAB, DTAB), non-ionic (Brij78, Brij58, Brij35), anionic (SDS) and mixed surfactant systems (CTAB-Brij58, DTAB-Brij35, SDS-Brij35) has been followed by spectrophotometric and tensiometric methods to evaluate the DPPH radical scavenging activity (RSA) of Rutin in these model self-assembled structures. The results show that the solubilization capacity of various single surfactant systems for both DPPH as well as Rutin followed the order cationics > non-ionics > anionic. The radical scavenging activity of Rutin in the solubilized form was higher within ionic micelles than in non-ionic micelles. However, the antioxidant exhibited enhanced activity for the radical in mixed cationic-non-ionic micelles compared with any of the single component micelles. In contrast, anionic-non-ionic mixed micelles modulated the activity of Rutin in-between that seen for pure anionic and non-ionic micelles only.

Abstract
Suitability of reverse micelles of anionic surfactant sodium bis(2-ethyl hexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cationic surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene p-t-octylphenol (TritonX-100) in organic solvent isooctane for extraction of soy isoflavone-enriching proteins was investigated. The results showed that the order of combined isoflavone contents was SDS>CTAB>Triton X-100>AOT, while the order of protein recovery was SDS>AOT>TritonX-100>CTAB. As compared with ACN-HCl extraction, the total amount of isoflavones was lower than reverse micellar extraction. Ion strength was one of the important conditions to control extraction of isoflavone-enriching proteins with AOT reversed micelles. For the six salt systems, KNO(3), KCl, MgCl(2), CaCl(2), NaCl, and Na(2)SO(4), extracted fraction of isoflavone-enriching proteins was measured. Salt solutions greatly influenced the extraction efficiency of isoflavones in an order of KNO(3)>MgCl(2)>CaCl(2)>KCl>NaCl>Na(2)SO(4), while protein in an order of MgCl(2)>CaCl(2)>NaCl>KNO(3)>Na(2)SO(4)>KCl.

Abstract
A novel electokinetic capillary chromatography method, reverse sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles as pseudo-stationary phase, was developed for separation and detection of alpinetin and cardamonin. In this work, reverse micelles (RMs) have been firstly introduced into background electrolyte for electrophoresis separation. The optimum reverse SDS micelle system was formed with n-butyl chloride as continuous phase, SDS (20.9%, w/v) as the surfactant, W(0) (13.0, water-surfactant molar ratio), 18.0% (v/v) 1-butanol as the co-surfactant, 8.0% (v/v) acetonitrile (ACN), 1.5% (v/v) heptane, and a 60 mol L(-1) tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) buffer, as dispersed phase. Linear relationships (correlation coefficients: 0.9961 for cardamonin and 0.9991 for alpinetin) between the peak areas and concentration of the two compounds were obtained (5.0-350.0 microg mL(-1) for cardamonin and 1.25-350.0 microg mL(-1) for alpinetin). The detection limits (S/N=3) for cardamonin and alpinetin were 0.19 and 0.14 microg mL(-1), respectively. The method was successfully applied for the quantification of alpinetin and cardamonin in Alpinia katsumadai Hayata and kuaiwei tablet with satisfactory recoveries in the range of 95.9-100.2%.

Abstract
The activities of cellulases from Trichoderma reesei entrapped in three types of reverse micelles have been investigated using microcrystalline cellulose as the substrate. The reverse micellar systems are formed by nonionic surfactant Triton X-100, anionic surfactant Aerosol OT (AOT), and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in organic solvent media, respectively. The influences of the molar ratio of water to surfactant omega0, one of characteristic parameters of reverse micelles, and other environmental conditions including pH and temperature, on the enzymatic activity have been studied in these reverse micellar systems. The results obtained indicate that these three reverse micelles are more effective than aqueous systems for microcrystalline cellulose hydrolysis, and cellulases show "superactivity" in these reverse micelles compared with that in aqueous systems under the same pH and temperature conditions. The enzymatic activity decreases with the increase of omega0 in both AOT and Triton X-100 reverse micellar systems, but reaches a maximum at omega0 of 16.7 for CTAB reverse micelles. Temperature and pH also influence the cellulose hydrolysis process. The structural changes of cellulases in AOT reverse micelles have been measured by intrinsic fluorescence method and a possible explanation for the activity changes of cellulases has been proposed.

Abstract
The effects of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, TTAB, and hexadecyl-trimethylammonium bromide, CTAB, micellar systems on the reaction of 3-methylbenzenediazonium, 3MBD, tetrafluoroborate with ascorbic acid, VC, and with the hydrophobic derivatives 6-O-dodecyl-L-ascorbic acid, VC12, and 6-O-palmitoyl-L-ascorbic acid, VC16, were investigated at different pH values by employing a combination of UV-vis spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC, techniques. Previous studies in the absence of surfactant showed that the reaction between 3MBD and VC derivatives takes place through a rate-limiting decomposition of a transient diazo ether, DE, formed from reaction between 3MBD and the monoanion form of ascorbic acid, VC-, in a rapid preequilibrium step. In the presence of a fixed [CTAB], the kinetics of the reaction of 3MBD with VC follows a saturation kinetics similar to that observed in its absence, but for the reaction with VC12 and VC16, only the first linear portions of the saturation profiles could be obtained because k(obs) values become too large. HPLC analyses of the reaction mixtures show that no unexpected products are detected, suggesting that cationic micelles do not modify the mechanism of the reaction. Analyses of the kinetic data allowed estimations of the rate constant for the decomposition of the diazo ether and of the equilibrium constant for the formation of DE in the presence of CTAB micelles, which is approximately 6 times higher than in its absence; this suggests that CTAB micelles promote diazo ether formation. At constant [antioxidant], the variations of k(obs) for the reactions with VC, VC12, or VC16 follow bell-shaped curves, with rate enhancements of up to 2-3-fold for VC with respect to the value in the absence of surfactant. The rate maximum for the reaction of 3MBD with VC is reached at [CTAB] = 0.02 M suggesting a CTAB-induced rate increase, i.e., micellar catalysis; meanwhile the rate maximum for the reaction with VC12 and VC16, which may behave as amphiphilic compounds, is reached at [CTAB] approximately 1 x 10(-4) M, a concentration about 10 times lower than its critical micelle concentration, cmc, in pure water, but only approximately 3 times lower than the cmc of VC16, suggesting the formation of reactive CTAB-VC12 and CTAB-VC16 premicellar aggregates. Kinetic and HPLC results are consistent with the predictions of the pseudophase model and are interpreted in terms of 3MBD ions sampling in the aqueous bulk phase and the micellar effects on the different equilibrium involved. The results should contribute to a better understanding of the role of compartmentalized systems on the efficiency with which hydrophilic and hydrophobic reductants such as ascorbic acid derivatives interact with potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic ArN2+ ions.

Abstract
The notion of "green chemistry" has encouraged even synthetic organic chemists to include water as a solvent. Incredible selectivities and activities can be achieved through the addition of amphiphiles with a defined structure. The morphology of supramolecular assemblies or associates formed by surfactants vary according to the temperature and concentration. As a rule, reactions are typically conducted using simple spherical aggregates, that is, micelles in the nanometer range. The strong polarity gradient present between the hydrophilic surface and the hydrophobic core of the micelle means that both nonpolar and polar reagents can be solubilized. This solubilization results in reactants becoming more concentrated within the micelle than in the surrounding water phase and leads to an acceleration of the reaction and causes selective effects. The kinetic treatment of reactions in micellar systems can be accomplished by considering them as microheterogeneous two-phase systems.

Abstract
Dediazoniation of o-methylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate was investigated in SDS/BuOH/H2O (SDS = sodium dodecyl sulfate) reverse micelles, RMs, and, for comparison, in binary BuOH/H2O mixtures by employing a combination of spectrophotometric and chromatographic techniques. RMs were characterized by steady-state fluorescence; the data indicate that the aggregation number of the RMs increase upon increasing [SDS], while the radius of the water pool is mainly controlled by the amount of water in the system, and that the thickness of the interfacial region increases upon increasing the amount of BuOH in the system, in agreement with literature reports. Experimental evidence suggests that dediazoniation mainly takes place in the interfacial region of the RMs. Kinetic data show that a turnover from the heterolytic to the homolytic mechanism takes place about pH = 5; the variation of the observed rate constants, k(obs,) with pH following an S-shaped curve. At pH approximately 2, k(obs) values are insensitive to solvent composition both in RMs and in the binary mixture; however, k(obs) values in RMs are slightly lower than those in BuOH/H2O, probably due to the presence of SDS. High-performance liquid chromatography analyses of the reaction mixture indicate, in both RMs and in binary mixtures, the main dediazoniation products are the heterolytic ArOH and ArOBu, their yields depending on the composition of the system, and only small (<10%) amounts of the reduction ArH product were detected. The data at low pH are interpreted in terms of a DN + AN dediazoniation mechanism, i.e., a rate-limiting formation of an extremely reactive aryl cation that further reacts with available nucleophiles in the solvation shell.

Abstract
The hydrolytic activity of a monoclonal catalytic antibody (9A8) (abzyme) with acetylcholinesterase-like activity was investigated in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions (reverse micelles) based on sodium bis-2-(ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane, using p- and o-nitrophenylacetate (p-and o-NPA) as substrates. The dependence of the abzyme hydrolytic activity on the molar ratio of water to surfactant (w(o)) showed a bell-shaped curve, presenting a maximum at w(o)=11.1. An increase of the AOT concentration at constant w(o), resulted in a decrease of the catalytic activity suggesting a possible inhibition effect of the surfactant. The incorporation of the abzyme into the reverse micelle system caused a blue shift of the fluorescence emission maximum by a magnitude of 7-10 nm depending on the w(o) value. This result indicates that the antibody molecule, or a large part of it, is located in the aqueous microphase of the system. Kinetic studies showed that the hydrolysis of p-and o-NPA in microemulsion system as well as in aqueous solution follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) in w/o microemulsion was significant lower than in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) method was used to study the secondary structures of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in aqueous solution and in reverse micelles for the first time. Results indicated that the structure of HRP in sodium bis(2-ethylhexy)sulfosuccinate (AOT) reverse micelles was close to that in aqueous solution. In cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecylfate (SDS) reverse micelles the position of some bands changed. Results indicated that the secondary structure had a close relationship with the surfactant species of the reverse micelles. Among the three types of reverse micelles, the system of AOT reverse micelles was probably the most beneficial reaction media to HRP.

Abstract
Changes in the activity and conformation of Chinese hamster dihydrofolate reductase (ch-DHFR) were studied in reverse micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and dodecylammonium butyrate (DAB) at various water contents and denaturant concentrations. The ch-DHFR entrapped in CTAB and DAB reverse micelles shows very low activity at a lower ratio of water to surfactant (omega(0)). The activity was enhanced in the presence of low concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride. Emission fluorescence spectra of ch-DHFR in aqueous medium and in reverse micelles in the presence of low concentrations of denaturants were compared. Only a slight change in emission intensity of ch-DHFR accompanies enzyme activation in the presence of low concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride in CTAB and DAB reverse micelles. There was no detectable change in the average diameters of CTAB and DAB reverse micelles in the presence of low concentrations of denaturants measured by laser light scattering, indicating that the enzyme activation in the presence of denaturant is not due to a size change in the reverse micelles. Our results suggest that the reduced activity of ch-DHFR in reverse micelles at low omega(0) is due to the restrictions in enzyme conformation caused by an environment with low water content. The reduction in enzyme activity was restored by the presence of low concentrations of denaturant or increased water content, indicating that conformation flexibility is important for full expression of enzyme activity.

Abstract
The activity of DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex from calf thymus and Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase 1 has been studied in reverse microemulsions formed by sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), polyoxyethylene 20 cetyl ether (Brij 58), and Triton X-114 in decane. DNA polymerases were not active in AOT, CTAB, and SDS reverse microemulsions, but these enzymes catalyzed DNA synthesis in Brij 58 and its mixture with other surfactants. We have also found the system composed from the Triton X-114, SDS, CTAB, and Brij 58 (concentration of 128, 25, 15, and 10 mM, respectively) in hexanol-decane (1:12 v/v), in which DNA polymerases revealed maximum activity. The above system was optically transparent, fluid, and stable during a few hours with a water-surfactants molar ratio up to 160. The pH dependence of DNA polymerase activity was not significantly different in comparison with water; however, DNA polymerase was sensitive to ionic strength in microemulsions. The dependence of DNA polymerase activity on w0 was the curve with a few optima. DNA polymerases synthesized more products in water than in reverse microemulsions, and the processivity of Klenow fragment decreased. An increase of the water content resulted in an increase of DNA polymerase processivity.
