Abstract
In the past three decades, interest in using carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) in biomedical application has witnessed remarkable growth. Despite the rapid advancement, the translation of laboratory experimentation to clinical applications of nanomaterials is one of the major challenges. This might be attributed to poor understanding of bio-nano interface. Arguably, the most significant barrier is the complexity that arises by interplay of several factors like properties of nanomaterial (shape, size, surface chemistry), its interaction with suspending media (surface hydration and dehydration, surface reconstruction and release of free surface energy) and the interaction with biomolecules (conformational change in biomolecules, interaction with membrane and receptor). Tailoring a nanomaterial that minimally interacts with protein and lipids in the medium while effectively acts on target site in biological milieu has been very difficult. Computational methods and artificial intelligence techniques have displayed potential in effectively addressing this problem. Through predictive modelling and deep learning, computer-based methods have demonstrated the capability to create accurate models of interactions between nanoparticles and cell membranes, as well as the uptake of nanomaterials by cells. Computer-based simulations techniques enable these computational models to forecast how making particular alterations to a material's physical and chemical properties could enhance functional aspects, such as the retention of drugs, the process of cellular uptake and biocompatibility. We review the most recent progress regarding the bio-nano interface studies between the plasma proteins and CBNs with a special focus on computational simulations based on molecular dynamics and density functional theory.

Abstract
The catalytic efficiency and unrivaled selectivity with which enzymes convert substrates to products have been tapped for widespread chemical transformations within biomedical technology, biofuel production, gas sensing, and the upgrading of commodity chemicals, just to name a few. However, the feasibility of enzymes implementation is challenged by the lack of reusability and loss of native catalytic activity due to the irreversible biocatalyst denaturation at high temperatures and in the presence of industrial solvents. Enzyme immobilization, a prerequisite for enzyme reusability, offers controllable strategies for increased functional viability of the biocatalyst in a synthetic environment. Herein we used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and probed the noncovalent interactions between model enzymes of technological interest, i.e., carbonic anhydrase (CA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), with selected metal-organic frameworks (MOFs; MIL-160 and ZIF-8) of proven industrial implementation. We found that the CA and MPO can bind to MIL-160 at optimal binding energies of 201 and 501 kJ mol-1, respectively, that are strongly influenced by the increased incidence of hydrogen bonding between enzymes and the frameworks. The free energy of binding of enzymes to ZIF-8, on the other hand, was found to be less strongly influenced by hydrogen bonding networks relative to the occurrence of hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions that yielded 106 kJ mol-1 for CA and 201 kJ mol-1 for MPO.

Abstract
A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided, with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Ways to modify catalytic sites range from the use of the reversible or irreversible adsorption of molecular modifiers to the immobilization or tethering of homogeneous catalysts and the development of well-defined catalytic sites on solid surfaces. The latter covers methods for the dispersion of single-atom sites within solid supports as well as the use of complex nanostructures, and it includes the post-modification of materials via processes such as silylation and atomic layer deposition. All these methodologies exhibit both advantages and limitations, but all offer new avenues for the design of catalysts for specific applications. Because of the high cost of most nanotechnologies and the fact that the resulting materials may exhibit limited thermal or chemical stability, they may be best aimed at improving the selective synthesis of high value-added chemicals, to be incorporated in organic synthesis schemes, but other applications are being explored as well to address problems in energy production, for instance, and to design greener chemical processes. The details of each of these approaches are discussed, and representative examples are provided. We conclude with some general remarks on the future of this field.

Abstract
Cellulases are enzymes with great potential for converting biomass to biofuels for sustainable energy. However, their commercial use is limited by their costs and low reusability. Therefore, the scientific and industrial sectors are focusing on finding better strategies to reuse enzymes and improve their performance. In this work, cellulase from Aspergillus niger was immobilised through in situ entrapment and adsorption on bio-inspired silica (BIS) supports. To the best of our knowledge, this green effect strategy has never been applied for cellulase into BIS. In situ entrapment was performed during support synthesis, applying a one-pot approach at mild conditions (room temperature, pH 7, and water solvent), while adsorption was performed after support formation. The loading efficiency was investigated on different immobilisation systems by Bradford assay and FTIR. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen as a control to optimize cellulase loading. The residual activity of cellulase was analysed by the dinitro salicylic acid (DNS) method. Activity of 90% was observed for the entrapped enzyme, while activity of ~55% was observed for the adsorbed enzyme. Moreover, the supported enzyme systems were recycled five times to evaluate their reuse potential. The thermal and pH stability tests suggested that both entrapment and adsorption strategies can increase enzyme activity. The results highlight that the entrapment in BIS is a potentially useful strategy to easily immobilise enzymes, while preserving their stability and recycle potential.

Abstract
Sensing enzymatic sialylation provides new tools for the evaluation of pathological events and pathogen invasion. Enzymatic sialylation is usually monitored via fluorescence or metabolic labeling, which requires relatively large amounts of the glycan substrate with limited availability. Using a label-free biosensor requires smaller quantities of substrates because the interactions induce measurable changes to an interface, which can be translated into a signal. The downside of label-free biosensors is that they are very sensitive to changes at the interface, and the properties of the surface layer can play a major role. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used here to follow the enzymatic sialylation of a biantennary N-glycan acceptor in mixed monolayers. The surfaces contained either neutral, positively or negatively charged, or zwitterionic functional groups. The systems were characterized by contact potential difference, ellipsometry, and contact angle analyses. We found that the characteristics of the mixed monolayer have a profound effect on the biosensing of the enzymatic sialylation. Positively charged layers were found to adsorb the enzyme under the reaction conditions. Negatively charged and zwitterionic surfaces were nonresponsive to enzymatic sialylation. Only the neutral mixed monolayers provided signals that were related directly to enzymatic sialylation. This work demonstrates the importance of appropriate interface properties for monitoring enzymatic sialylation processes.

Abstract
Enzymes are proteins that control the efficiency and effectiveness of biological reactions and systems, as well as of engineered biomimetic processes. This review highlights current applications of a diverse range of enzymes for biofuel production, plastics, and chemical waste management, as well as for detergent, textile, and food production and preservation industries respectively. Challenges regarding the transposition of enzymes from their natural purpose and environment into synthetic practice are discussed. For example, temperature and pH-induced enzyme fragilities, short shelf life, low-cost efficiency, poor user-controllability, and subsequently insufficient catalytic activity were shown to decrease pertinence and profitability in large-scale production considerations. Enzyme immobilization was shown to improve and expand upon enzyme usage within a profit and impact-oriented commercial world and through enzyme-material and interfaces integration. With particular focus on the growing biomedical market, examples of enzyme immobilization within or onto hyaluronic acid (HA)-based complexes are discussed as a definable way to improve upon and/or make possible the next generation of medical undertakings. As a polysaccharide formed in every living organism, HA has proven beneficial in biomedicine for its high biocompatibility and controllable biodegradability, viscoelasticity, and hydrophilicity. Complexes developed with this molecule have been utilized to selectively deliver drugs to a desired location and at a desired rate, improve the efficiency of tissue regeneration, and serve as a viable platform for biologically accepted sensors. In similar realms of enzyme immobilization, HA’s ease in crosslinking allows the molecule to user-controllably enhance the design of a given platform in terms of both chemical and physical characteristics to thus best support successful and sustained enzyme usage. Such examples do not only demonstrate the potential of enzyme-based applications but further, emphasize future market trends and accountability.

Abstract
The co-involvement of biological molecules and nanomaterials has increasingly come to the fore in modern-day applications. While the "bio-nano" (BN) interface presents physico-chemical characteristics that are manifestly different from those observed in isotropic bulk conditions, the underlying molecular reasons remain little understood; this is especially true of anomalies in interfacial hydration. In this paper, we leverage atomistic simulations to study differential adsorption characteristics of a small protein on the inner (concave) surface of a single-walled carbon nanotube whose diameter exceeds dimensions conducive to single-file water movement. Our findings indicate that the extent of adsorption is decided by the degree of foldedness of the protein conformational substate. Importantly, we find that partially folded substates, but not the natively folded one, induce reorganization of the protein hydration layer into an inner layer water closer to the nanotube axis and an outer layer water in the interstitial space near the nanotube walls. Further analyses reveal sharp dynamical differences between water molecules in the two layers as observed in the onset of increased heterogeneity in rotational relaxation and the enhanced deviation from Fickian behavior. The vibrational density of states reveals that the dynamical distinctions are correlated with differences in crucial bands in the power spectra. The current results set the stage for further systematic studies of various BN interfaces vis-à-vis control of hydration properties.

Abstract
We reported a simple and sensitive colorimetric assay for detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) based on the oxidation of 2,2׳-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) by UV-Vis spectroscopy method. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared using green tea extract as bio-reducing and stabilizer agent and decorated by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The surface of Au interface was modified with HRP-rGO hybrid. The formation of HRP-rGO hybrid was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Raman spectroscopy·H2O2 can be catalysed by HRP-rGO hybrid and converted into water and oxygen. The ABTS substrate takes up oxygen to form a green coloured product that has absorption peaks at 421, 655 nm and 737 nm. The colour development is linearly dependent on HRP in the range of 4-50 µg/L. The color of the green product solution is stable for 20 min. The absorption intensity is strongly related to the hydrogen peroxide concentration. The absorption intensity of the formed product scaled linearly with the hydrogen peroxide concentration in the ranges of 0.3-20 µM and 20-8000 µM with a detection limit of ≈15 nM could be achieved. The biosensor with excellent limit detection and wide linear ranges was adapted to monitor H2O2 in different beverages.

Abstract
Adenylate cyclase (AC) can efficiently catalyze the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine-3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP). However, AC directly immobilized on substrate is not desirable due to enzyme inactivation. Herein, bio-inspired adhesive of polydopamine and polyethyleneimine (PDA/PEI) was used as flexible chains to graft on graphene oxide (GO), and the AC was directionally immobilized through affinity between metal ions and his-tags of AC. The properties of modified GO and the activity of immobilized AC were studied in detail. PDA/PEI layers have been proved to improve the amino density of GO surface for affinity groups decoration and adjust the interaction between AC and support. And modified GO by this novel method contributes to subsequent grafting and immobilization of AC by affinity. AC immobilized on modified GO exhibited high activity recovery with about 90 % of free AC, while enzyme immobilized on unmodified GO has been inactivated. This study offers a versatile approach for support modification and enzyme oriented immobilization. PDA/PEI functionalized GO can be used as a promising carrier to immobilize other his-tagged enzymes.

Abstract
In the present study, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were functionalized with glycyrrhizin and Tween 80 and applied for immobilization of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PcL). Characterization of f-MWCNTs was performed through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. The optimum specific activity of immobilized PcL (studied by Plackett-Burman statistical design) occurred at 0.3 mg/mL of f-MWCNTs, 25 mM of phosphate buffer (pH 6.0), 15 min sonication time, 8 U/mL of enzyme concentration, and 24 h immobilization time at 4 °C in the absence of glutaraldehyde. In these conditions, the specific activity was 16.57 ± 0.71 U/mg, which was very close to the predicted amount (16.62 ± 0.64 U/mg). The results of thermal and pH stability showed that the stability of immobilized PcL was higher than that of the free PcL. The activity of immobilized PcL on f-MWCNTs held 93% after being incubated for 60 min at 70 °C. Moreover, the immobilized PcL on f-MWCNTs retained about 65% of its initial activity after 30 days of storage at 25 °C. In addition, about 50% of initial activity of immobilized PcL retained after 10 cycles of uses. Therefore, f-MWCNTs could be introduced as suitable support for enzymes immobilization.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases are enzymes capable of transforming carbon dioxide into bicarbonate to maintain functionality of biological systems. Synthetic isolation and implementation of carbonic anhydrases into membrane have recently raised hopes for emerging and efficient strategies that could reduce greenhouse emission and the footprint of anthropogenic activities. However, implementation of such enzymes is currently challenged by the resulting membrane’s wetting capability, overall membrane performance for gas sensing, adsorption and transformation, and by the low solubility of carbon dioxide in water, the required medium for enzyme functionality. We developed the next generation of enzyme-based interfaces capable to efficiently adsorb and reduce carbon dioxide at room temperature. For this, we integrated carbonic anhydrase with a hydrophilic, user-synthesized metal–organic framework; we showed how the framework’s porosity and controlled morphology contribute to viable enzyme binding to create functional surfaces for the adsorption and reduction of carbon dioxide. Our analysis based on electron and atomic microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and colorimetric assays demonstrated the functionality of such interfaces, while Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis and gas chromatography analysis allowed additional evaluation of the efficiency of carbon dioxide adsorption and reduction. Our study is expected to impact the design and development of active interfaces based on enzymes to be used as green approaches for carbon dioxide transformation and mitigation of global anthropogenic activities.

Abstract
Manganese peroxidase (MnP) from Irpex lacteus F17 has potential use as a biocatalyst in the field of environmental biotechnology because of its unique properties and ability to decompose harmful aromatic compounds. However, its requirement of harsh acidic reaction conditions and its insufficient catalytic activity restrict its practical applications. Here, we combine graphene oxide (GO) and MnP to construct an efficient enzyme system (GO-MnP) with improved catalytic efficiencies and a wide pH range for the oxidation of aromatic substances and dye decolorization. We found that the Michaelis constant (Km) of GO-MnP for Mn2+ was 2.8 times lower and the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of GO-MnP was 4.5 times higher than those of MnP, and that the decolorization of various dyes by GO-MnP was significantly improved over the pH range of 4.5-5.5. A comparison of the midpoint redox potentials also reflects the strong oxidation ability of GO-MnP. Furthermore, we demonstrated that, in the GO-MnP system, the MnP activity is mainly determined by the amounts of epoxy and carboxyl groups in GO, based on an analysis of the functional group changes in GO and reduced GO associated with different reduction degrees as shown by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Quantum Dots and Gold Nanoparticles as Scaffolds for Enzymatic Enhancement: Recent Advances and the Influence of Nanoparticle Size. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
Nanoparticle scaffolds can impart multiple benefits onto immobilized enzymes including enhanced stability, activity, and recoverability. The magnitude of these benefits is modulated by features inherent to the scaffold–enzyme conjugate, amongst which the size of the nanoscaffold itself can be critically important. In this review, we highlight the benefits of enzyme immobilization on nanoparticles and the factors affecting these benefits using quantum dots and gold nanoparticles as representative materials due to their maturity. We then review recent literature on the use of these scaffolds for enzyme immobilization and as a means to dissect the underlying mechanisms. Detailed analysis of the literature suggests that there is a “sweet-spot” for scaffold size and the ratio of immobilized enzyme to scaffold, with smaller scaffolds and lower enzyme:scaffold ratios generally providing higher enzymatic activities. We anticipate that ongoing studies of enzyme immobilization onto nanoscale scaffolds will continue to sharpen our understanding of what gives rise to beneficial characteristics and allow for the next important step, namely, that of translation to large-scale processes that exploit these properties.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (PFL) was covalently immobilized on carbon nanofiber (CNF) using 1‑ethyl‑3‑[3‑dimethylaminopropyl] carbodiimide (EDC)/N‑hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). Surface functionalization of carbon nanofiber augments dispersibility as well as efficiency of covalent immobilization. Crucial parameters for immobilization such as pH, enzyme-support ratio, reaction time and mixing rate were optimized using one factor at a time (OFAT) approach. The nanobiocatalyst prepared under optimized conditions demonstrated a ten-fold increase in enzyme activity and the advantage of high thermal stability (up to 85 °C) along with 10 cycles of reusability. Subsequently practical application of the nanobiocatalyst was explored in the kinetic resolution of racemic 1‑phenylethanol into (S)‑1‑phenylethanol [C = 49.1%, eep = 99.5%, ees = 98.5% and E value = 151.4] followed by Mitsunobu reaction with a substituted pyrrole, giving an enantiopure (R)-carboetomidate analogue (yield = 83%).

Abstract
Microenvironment modification within nanoconfinement can maximize the catalytic activity of enzymes. Phospholipase A1 (PLA1) has been used as the biocatalyst to produce high value L-α-glycerylphosphorylcholine (L-α-GPC) through hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC). We successfully developed a simple co-precipitation method to encapsulate PLA1 in a metal–surfactant nanocomposite (MSNC), then modified it using alkalescent 2-Methylimidazole (2-Melm) to promote catalytic efficiency in biphasic systems. The generated 2-Melm@PLA1/MSNC showed higher catalytic activity than PLA1/MSNC and free PLA1. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed a typical spherical structure of 2-Melm@PLA1/MSNC at about 50 nm, which was smaller than that of 2-Melm@MSNC. Energy disperse spectroscopy, N2 adsorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, and high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proved that 2-Melm successfully modified PLA1/MSNC. The generated 2-Melm@PLA1/MSNC showed a high catalytic rate per unit enzyme mass of 1.58 μmol mg-1 min-1 for the formation of L-α-GPC. The 2-Melm@PLA1/MSNC also showed high thermal stability, pH stability, and reusability in a water–hexane biphasic system. The integration of alkaline and amphiphilic properties of a nanocomposite encapsulating PLA1 resulted in highly efficient sequenced reactions of acyl migration and enzymatic hydrolysis at the interface of a biphasic system, which cannot be achieved by free enzyme.

Abstract
Nanozymes provide new opportunities for facilitating next generation artificial enzyme cascade platforms. However, the fabrication of high-performance integrated artificial enzyme cascade (IAEC) bioplatforms based on nanozymes remains a great challenge. A facile and effective self-assembly strategy for constructing an IAEC system based on an inorganic/protein hybrid nanozyme, β-casein-BiPt nanochain@GO (CA-BiPtNC@GO) nanohybrid with unique physicochemical surface properties and hierarchical structures, is introduced here. Due to the synergetic effect of the protein, GO, and Bi3+ , the hybrid acts as highly adaptable building blocks to immobilize natural enzymes directly and noncovalently without the loss of enzyme activity. Simultaneously, the CA-BiPtNC@GO nanohybrid exhibits outstanding peroxidase-mimicking activity and works well with natural oxidases, resulting in prominent activity in catalyzing cascade reactions. As a result, the proposed IAEC bioplatform exhibits excellent sensitivity with a wide linear range of 0.5 × 10-6 to 100 × 10-6 m and a detection limit of 0.05 × 10-6 m for glucose. Meticulous design of ingenious hierarchically nanostructured nanozymes with unique physicochemical surface properties can provide a facile and efficient way to immobilize and stabilize nature enzymes using self-assembly instead of chemical processes, and fill the gap in developing robust nanozyme-triggered IAEC systems with applications in the environment, sensing, and synthetic biology.

Abstract
Understanding the chemical composition and morphology of interfaces plays a vital role in the development of sensors, drug delivery systems, coatings for biomedical implants, and so forth. In many cases, the interface characterization can be performed by a combination of electrochemical and one of the optical techniques. In this study, we further enhanced capabilities in probing interfaces by combining electrochemical characterization with multiple optical techniques, that is, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and fluorescence spectroscopy. This new combination was utilized to study the electrochemical proximity assay (ECPA)-a recently developed protein recognition strategy for the point-of-care test. The SPR/fluorescence spectroelectrochemical technique has achieved not only recognition of binding components involved in the ECPA model system, estimation of their thicknesses and surface coverages, but more importantly, highly reliable in situ monitoring of dynamic changes of components involved in interfacial binding via cross-validation and confirmation from three simultaneously generated signals-SPR, fluorescence, and electrochemistry. In addition, the obtained corresponding proportions among magnitudes of three signals provide crucial information for future studies on simultaneous characterization of multiple components in one step and differentiation of nonspecific binding events. Another advantage using this technique is that the excitation of fluorescence is not only confined by surface plasmons, but by photons, so the fluorescence information can be also gained as the distance of fluorophores from the surface exceeds the decay length of surface plasmons.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) was previously proposed as a green alternative for biomineralization of carbon dioxide (CO2). However, enzyme's fragile nature when in synthetic environment significantly limits such industrial application. Herein, we hypothesized that CA immobilization onto flexible and hydrated "bridges" that ensure proton-transfer at their interfaces leads to improved activity and kinetic behavior and potentially increases enzyme's feasibility for industrial implementation. Our hypothesis was formulated considering that water plays a key role in the CO2 hydration process and acts as both the reactant as well as the rate-limiting step of the CO2 capture and transformation process. To demonstrate our hypothesis, two types of user-synthesized organic metallic frameworks [metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic] were considered as model supports and their surface characteristics (i.e., charge, shape, curvature, size, etc.) and influence on the immobilized enzyme's behavior were evaluated. Morphology, crystallinity and particle size, and surface area of the model supports were determined by scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements, respectively. Enzyme activity, kinetics, and stability at the supports interfaces were determined using spectroscopical analyses. Analysis showed that enzyme functionality is dependent on the support used in the immobilization process, with the enzyme immobilized onto the hydrophilic support retaining 72% activity of the free CA, when compared with that immobilized onto the hydrophobic one that only retained about 28% activity. Both CA-MOF conjugates showed good storage stability relative to the free enzyme in solution, with CA immobilized at the hydrophilic support also revealing increased thermal stability and retention of almost all original enzyme activity even after heating treatment at 70 °C. In contrast, free CA lost almost half of its original activity when subject to the same conditions. This present work suggests that MOFs tunable hydration conditions allow high enzyme activity and stability retention. Such results are expected to impact CO2 storage and transformation strategies based on CA and potentially increase user-integration of enzyme-based green technologies in mitigating global warming.

Abstract
The rapid detection of organophosphates (OPs), a class of strong neurotoxins, is critically important for monitoring acute insecticide exposure and potential chemical warfare agent use. Herein, we improve the enzymatic activity of a phosphotriesterase trimer (PTE3), an enzyme that selectively recognizes OPs directly, by conjugation with distinctly sized (i.e., 5, 10, and 20 nm diameter) gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The number of enzymes immobilized on the AuNP was controlled by conjugating increasing molar ratios of PTE3 onto the AuNP surface via metal affinity coordination. This occurs between the PTE3-His6 termini and the AuNP-displayed Ni2+-nitrilotriacetic acid end groups and was confirmed with gel electrophoresis. The enzymatic efficiency of the resultant PTE3-AuNP bioconjugates was analyzed via enzyme progress curves acquired from two distinct assay formats that compared free unbound PTE3 with the following PTE3-AuNP bioconjugates: (1) fixed concentration of AuNPs while increasing the bioconjugate molar ratio of PTE3 displayed around the AuNP and (2) fixed concentration of PTE3 while increasing the bioconjugate molar ratio of PTE3-AuNP by decreasing the AuNP concentration. Both assay formats monitored the absorbance of p-nitrophenol that was produced as PTE3 hydrolyzed the substrate paraoxon, a commercial insecticide and OP nerve agent simulant. Results demonstrate a general equivalent trend between the two formats. For all experiments, a maximum enzymatic velocity (Vmax) increased by 17-fold over free enzyme for the lowest PTE3-AuNP ratio and the largest AuNP (i.e., ratio of 1 : 1, 20 nm dia. AuNP). This work provides a route to improve enzymatic OP detection strategies with enzyme-NP bioconjugates.

Abstract
A mesoporous ZnO/carbon composite is designed for coimmobilization of two oxidoreductases involving a novel "kiwifruit-assembly" pattern. The coimmobilization of (S)-carbonyl reductase II-glucose dehydrogenase on nanoparticles (SCRII-GDHnano ) exhibits 40-50% higher specific activity than the free enzyme and significantly improves stabilities of enzymes to heat, pH and solvents. It performs asymmetric catalysis of 75 × 10-3 m substrate with a perfect yield of 100% and an excellent enantioselectivity of 99.9% within 1 h. SCRII-GDHnano gives an over 72% yield and 99.9% enantioselectivity after it is reused for ten times. Even with a highly concentrated (400 × 10-3 m) substrate, it shows about 60% yield and 99.9% enantioselectivity within 4 h. SCRII-GDHnano presents 4.5-8.0-fold higher productivity in 2.0-8.0-fold shorter reaction time than the free enzyme. This work provides a general, facile, and unique approach for the immobilization of two oxidoreductases and gives high catalytic efficiency, long-term and good recycling stabilities by triggering radical proton-coupled electron transfer.

Abstract
The unique properties of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) make them viable candidates for versatile implementation in the next generation of biomedical devices for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents or cellular-sensing probes. Such implementation requires user-tailored changes in SWCNT's physicochemical characteristics to allow for efficient cellular integration while maintaining nanotubes' functionality. However, isolated reports showed that user-tailoring could induce deleterious effects in exposed cells, from decrease in cellular proliferation, to changes in cellular adhesion, generation of reactive oxygen species or phenotypical variations, just to name a few. Before full implementation of SWCNTs is achieved, their toxicological profiles need to be mechanistically correlated with their physicochemical properties to determine how the induced cellular fate is related to the exposure conditions or samples' characteristics. Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of the synergistic cyto- and genotoxic effects resulted from short-term exposure of human lung epithelial cells to pristine (as manufactured) and user-tailored SWCNTs, as a function of their physicochemical properties. Specifically, through a systematic approach we are correlating the nanotube uptake and nanotube-induced cellular changes to the sample's physicochemical characteristics (e.g., metal impurities, length, agglomerate size, surface area, dispersion, and surface functionalization). By identifying changes in active hallmarks involved in cell-cell connections and maintaining epithelial layer integrity, we also determine the role that short-term exposure to SWCNTs plays in the overall cellular fate and cellular transformation. Lastly, we assess cellular structure-function relationships to identify non-apoptotic pathways induced by SWCNTs exposure that could however lead to changes in cellular behavior and cellular transformation. Our results show that the degree of cell transformation is a function of the physicochemical properties of the SWCNT, with the nanotube with higher length, higher metal content and larger agglomerate size reducing cell viability to a larger extent. Such changes in cell viability are also complemented by changes in cell structure, cycle and cell-cell interactions, all responsible for maintaining cell fate.

Peroxidase enzyme-like activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is currently being investigated for the potential application in the several realms of biomedicines. However, little is explored about the peroxidase activity of AuNPs decorated with different surface charges. It is well-documented that the catalytic activity and the interaction with mammalian cells are significantly different among AuNPs carrying different surface charges. We have recently reported that ATP enhances the peroxidase-like activity of AuNPs and iron oxide nanoparticles. However, a comprehensive and systematic study to reveal the role of surface charge on nanoparticles peroxidase-like activity has not been studied. In this work, we have shown that AuNPs coated with PEG (PEG AuNPs), citrate (citrate AuNPs) or CTAB (CTAB AuNPs) exhibit varying peroxidase-like activity and the boosting effect imparted by ATP was also different. We found that the peroxidase-like activity of PEG AuNPs and citrate AuNPs is dependent on hydroxyl radical formation, whereas CTAB AuNPs did not show any significant activity under the same experimental conditions. We also studied the boosting effect of ATP on the peroxidase-like activity of PEG and citrate AuNPs. Although the use of ATP resulted in enhanced peroxidase-like activity; however, contrary to the expectation, it did not facilitate the enhanced production of hydroxyl radical. In further studies, we found that the likely mechanism of boosting effect by ATP is the stabilization of oxidized TMB after peroxidase reaction. ATP imparts stabilization to the oxidized TMB produced due to PEG AuNPs, citrate AuNPs as well as HRP.

Abstract
In the last few years carbon nanostructures have been applied for the immobilization of enzymes and biomimetic organo-metallic species useful for biotechnological applications. The nature of the support and the method of immobilization are responsible for the stability, reactivity and selectivity of the system. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the use of carbon nanostructures, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanorods, fullerene and graphene for the preparation of biocatalytic and biomimetic systems and for their application in the development of green chemical processes.

Abstract
Nanodiamonds (NDs) are an emerging class of engineered nanomaterials that hold great promise for the next generation of bionanotechnological products to be used for drug and gene delivery, or for bio-imaging and biosensing. Previous studies have shown that upon their cellular uptake, NDs exhibit high biocompatibility in various in vitro and in vivo set-ups. Herein we hypothesized that the increased NDs biocompatibility is a result of minimum membrane perturbations and their reduced ability to induce disruption or damage during cellular translocation. Using multi-scale combinatorial approaches that simulate ND-membrane interactions, we correlated NDs real-time cellular uptake and kinetics with the ND-induced membrane fluctuations to derive energy requirements for the uptake to occur. Our discrete and real-time analyses showed that the majority of NDs internalization occurs within 2 h of cellular exposure, however, with no effects on cellular viability, proliferation or cellular behavior. Furthermore, our simulation analyses using coarse-grained models identified key changes in the energy profile, membrane deformation and recovery time, all functions of the average ND or ND-based agglomerate size. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for ND-cell membrane interactions could possibly advance their implementation in various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Although several strategies are now available for immobilization of enzymes to magnetic nanoparticles for bioapplications, little progresses have been reported on the use of dendritic or hyperbranched polymers for the same purpose. Herein, we demonstrated synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles supported hyperbranched polyglycerol (MNP/HPG) and a derivative conjugated with citric acid (MNP/HPG-CA) as unique and convenient nanoplatforms for immobilization of enzymes. Then, an important industrial enzyme, xylanase, was immobilized on the nanocarriers to produce robust biocatalysts. A variety of analytical tools were used to study the morphological, structural, and chemical properties of the biocatalysts. Additionally, the results of biocatalyst systems exhibited the substantial improvement of reactivity, reusability, and stability of xylanase due to this strategy, which might confer them a wider range of applications.

Abstract
The toxicity of engineered nanomaterials in biological systems depends on both the nanomaterial properties and the exposure duration. Herein we used a multi-tier strategy to investigate the relationship between user-characterized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) exposure duration and their induced biochemical and biomechanical effects on model human lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). Our results showed that exposure to MWCNTs leads to time-dependent intracellular uptake and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), along with time-dependent gradual changes in cellular biomechanical properties. In particular, the amount of internalized MWCNTs followed a sigmoidal curve with the majority of the MWCNTs being internalized within 6h of exposure; further, the sigmoidal uptake correlated with the changes in the oxidative levels and cellular biomechanical properties respectively. Our study provides new insights into the time-dependent induced toxicity caused by exposure to occupationally relevant doses of MWCNTs and could potentially help establish bases for early risk assessments of other nanomaterials toxicological profiles.

Abstract
The therapeutic limitations of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs have emerged as a challenge for breast cancer therapy; these shortcomings are likely due, at least in part, to the presence of the cancer stem cells (CSCs). Salinomycin, a polyether antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces albus, has been shown to selectively inhibit cancer stem cells; however, its clinical application has been hindered by the drug's hydrophobility, which limits the available administration routes. In this paper, a novel drug delivery system, cross-linked multilamellar liposomal vesicles (cMLVs), was optimized to allow for the codelivery of salinomycin (Sal) and doxorubicin (Dox), targeting both CSCs and breast cancer cells. The results show that the cMLV particles encapsulating different drugs have similar sizes with high encapsulation efficiencies (>80%) for both Dox and Sal. Dox and Sal were released from the particles in a sustained manner, indicating the stability of the cMLVs. Moreover, the inhibition of cMLV(Dox+Sal) against breast cancer cells was stronger than either single-drug treatment. The efficient targeting of cMLV(Dox+Sal) to CSCs was validated through in vitro experiments using breast cancer stem cell markers. In accordance with the in vitro combination treatment, in vivo breast tumor suppression by cMLV(Dox+Sal) was 2-fold more effective than single-drug cMLV treatment or treatment with the combination of cMLV(Dox) and cMLV(Sal). Thus, this study demonstrates that cMLVs represent a novel drug delivery system that can serve as a potential platform for combination therapy, allowing codelivery of an anticancer agent and a CSC inhibitor for the elimination of both breast cancer cells and cancer stem cells.

Abstract
The efficiency and selectivity of enzymatic catalysis is useful to a plethora of industrial and manufacturing processes. Many of these processes require the immobilization of enzymes onto surfaces, which has traditionally reduced enzyme activity. However, recent research has shown that the integration of nanoparticles into enzyme carrier schemes has maintained or even enhanced immobilized enzyme performance. The nanoparticle size and surface chemistry as well as the orientation and density of immobilized enzymes all contribute to the enhanced performance of enzyme-nanoparticle conjugates. These improvements are noted in specific nanoparticles including those comprising carbon (e.g., graphene and carbon nanotubes), metal/metal oxides and polymeric nanomaterials, as well as semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots.

Abstract
Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) utilize enzymes to convert chemical energy present in renewable biofuels into electrical energy and have shown much promise in the continuous powering of implantable devices. Currently, however, EBFCs are greatly limited in terms of power and operational stability with a majority of reported improvements requiring the inclusion of potentially toxic and unstable electron transfer mediators or multicompartment systems separated by a semipermeable membrane resulting in complicated setups. We report on the development of a simple, membrane/mediator-free EBFC utilizing novel electrodes of graphene and single-wall carbon nanotube cogel. These cogel electrodes had large surface area (∼ 800 m(2) g(-1)) that enabled high enzyme loading, large porosity for unhindered glucose transport and moderate electrical conductivity (∼ 0.2 S cm(-1)) for efficient charge collection. Glucose oxidase and bilirubin oxidase were physically adsorbed onto these electrodes to form anodes and cathodes, respectively, and the EBFC produced power densities up to 0.19 mW cm(-2) that correlated to 0.65 mW mL(-1) or 140 mW g(-1) of GOX with an open circuit voltage of 0.61 V. Further, the electrodes were rejuvenated by a simple wash and reloading procedure. We postulate these porous and ultrahigh surface area electrodes will be useful for biosensing applications, and will allow reuse of EBFCs.
