Stereoselective bionanocatalysis on gold nanoparticles
4th International Conference on Nanotek & Expo
December 01-03, 2014 DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Francisco Airport, USA

Scientific Tracks Abstracts: J Nanomed Nanotechnol

Abstract:

Among different nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles are especially interesting for biocatalysis because of great affinity of gold to thiols and amino groups, which are present in enzymes. Such interactions may cause changes in a structure of an enzyme and modify its substrate specificity. In literature, there is no information about influence of gold nanoparticles on enzyme stereoselectivity. Therefore systematic studies were performed to verify this phenomenon. Selected enzymes were immobilized on gold nanoparticles using different protocols. Obtained bionanocatalysts were used in a model stereoselective reaction. The influence of bionanocatalysts structure on the stereochemical course of the reaction studied will be discussed.
