Nanoparticles Catalyzing Enzymatic Reactions: Recent Developments and Future Prospects

Introduction: Artificial enzyme mimics have lately sparked a lot of attention since they offer a lot of benefits over natural enzymes. Methods: Because of their proteic origin and tailorable structures, self-assembling peptides are ideal building blocks for the creation of artificial enzymes. Results: Recently, a series of histidine-bearing self-assembling peptides with β-sheet structures, which are selective for short-chain fatty acids, were described. In this work, the catalytic behaviors of these peptides were further investigated using 2,4-dinitrophenyl acetate (DNPA) as a model substrate. Conclusion: Furthermore, the peptide was capable of forming a solid hydrogel that was also catalytically active at higher concentrations.
