Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) conjugated with lipase Candida antarctica A for biodiesel synthesis

A newly designed biocatalyst prepared by conjugation of lipase A on SPION demonstrated high efficiency for biodiesel production. The nanomaterial was characterized by FTIR, TGA and XRD, and its enzymatic activity compared with a commercial standard.
