Nanoscale Engineering for Smart Biocatalysts with Fine-Tuned Properties and Functionalities

Many advanced applications of biocatalysts require fine-tuned properties and functions to ensure the biocatalysts’ precise localization, structure-specific targeting, switchable activities or self-signaling. The current review presents recent advances in realizing novel biocatalysts possessing such fine-tuned properties. Smart biocatalysts can be another term for such a new class biocatalysts.
