Chem Comm (2026): “Thermally reversible Diels–Alder linkers enable reusable methacrylate supports for enzyme immobilisation”
Abstract: Spent enzyme immobilisation resins constitute microplastic waste. Here, commercially available C2‑amine methacrylate beads are converted into reusable supports through furan decoration and a thermally cleavable Diels–Alder linker bearing an NHS ester. The enzyme–linker assembly is removed by retro‑Diels–Alder reaction, regenerating the support over multiple cycles. Well done to Manos for bringing this home! Read […]
ChemBioChem (2023): “Bioinformatic analysis of immobilized enzymes: towards a better understanding of the guiding forces”
David applied CapiPy to a set of enzymes to validate its applicability. Abstract: Protein bioinformatics has been applied to a myriad of opportunities in biocatalysis, from enzyme engineering to enzyme discovery, but its application in enzyme immobilization is still very limited. Enzyme immobilization brings clear advantages form the sustainability and cost-efficiency terms but is nowadays […]
