Tailored adsorption of enzymes onto mesoporous silicates
peer-reviewed The objective of this research is to synthesise mesoporous silicates, incorporate metal complexes on to the surface of the silicates post synthesis and utilise these materials for the immobilisation of histidine-tagged enzymes to form stable, reusable biocatalysts. Studies in the synth...
