Peroxidase-Catalyzed Cell Encapsulation in Subsieve-Size Capsules of Alginate with Phenol Moieties in Water-Immiscible Fluid Dissolving H2O2

摘要

For decades,enzymatic polymerization in vitro has been extensively studied because specific enzyme catalysis provides a novel synthetic route for functional and useful polymeric materials.1'2 In particular,peroxidase has been frequently used for the oxidative polymerization of phenol derivatives under mild reaction conditions.In the reaction,peroxidases function as oxidoreductases that catalyze the oxidation of donors using H2O2 resulting in polyphenols linked at the aromatic ring by C-C and C-O coupling of phenols.
