This chapter described the advancements in the development of nanostructured supported material and enzyme immobilization techniques. The functionalized nanomaterials extremely affect the inherent mechanical properties and provide the highest biocompatibility and specific nano-environment surrounding the enzymes for improving enzymes stability, catalytic performance, and reaction’s activities. The enzyme immobilization on nanomaterials considerably enhances the robustness and durability of the enzyme for its frequent applications, which reduces the overall expenses of the bio-catalytic process. There are various types of nanomaterials i.e. metal nanoparticles, metal oxide, carbonaceous materials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, and activated carbon), that have been used for the immobilization of the enzyme. So that durability, catalytic activity, leaching of the enzyme, and mechanical steadiness are evaluated for their continual operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
