Noble metal nanoparticle-based networks as a new platform for lipase immobilization
Enzyme immobilization on nanocarriers is nowadays considered a useful tool for improving activity and maintaining biocatalysts stability while facilitating their recovery and reuse. In this work we prepared Au and Ag based nanoparticles (AuNPs or AgNPs) stabilized with two different ligands, the organometallic dinuclear complex trans,trans-[dithiodibis(tributylphosphine)diplatinum(II)-4,4'-diethynylbiphenyl] (Pt-DEBP) and the organic dithiol 4,4'-dithiol-biphenyl (BI), able to link the NPs in 3D networks.
