A Supramolecular-Hydrogel-Encapsulated Hemin as an Artificial Enzyme to Mimic Peroxidase

摘要

A challenge in chemistry is an artificial enzyme that mimics the functions of the natural system but is simpler than proteins.The intensive development of artificial enzymes that use a variety of matrices,the rapid progress in supramolec-ular gels,and the apparent "superactivity" exhibited by supramolecular hydrogel-immobilized enzymes,prompted us to evaluate whether supramolecular hydrogels will improve the activity of artificial enzymes for catalyzing reactions in water or in organic media.
