It's not easy being green: Biocatalysis is generally recognized as an environmentally benign technology. This green claim, however, seldom substantiated. The use of simple mass-based metrics such the E factor may represent appropriate compromise between significance and effort.
Abstract Peroxygenases catalyze a broad range of (stereo)selective oxyfunctionalization reactions. However, to access their full catalytic potential, peroxygenases need balanced provision hydrogen peroxide achieve high activity while minimizing oxidative inactivation. Herein, we report an enzymatic cascade process that employs methanol as sacrificial electron donor for the reductive activation molecular oxygen. Full oxidation is achieved, generating three equivalents can be used completely...

Metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) have attracted great attention due to their intriguing structure. However, the applications of MOPs are severely hindered by two shortcomings, namely low dispersity and poor stability. Here we report introduction four (constructed from dicopper carboxylates) cavity-structured mesoporous silica SBA-16 via a double-solvent strategy overcome both shortcomings simultaneously. By judicious design, dimension is just between size cavities entrances SBA-16, MOP...
Abstract Heterogeneous immunoassays such as ELISA have become indispensable in modern bioanalysis, yet translation into point-of-care assays is hindered by their dependence on external calibration and multiple washing incubation steps.

The concept entails analyte-induced...

Peroxygenases are very promising catalysts for oxyfunctionalization reactions. Their practical applicability, however, is hampered by their sensitivity against the oxidant (H2O2), therefore necessitating in situ generation of H2O2. Here, we report a photoelectrochemical approach to provide peroxygenases with suitable amounts H2O2 while reducing electrochemical overpotential needed reduction molecular oxygen When tethered on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) under illumination, flavins...
Antibodies are important biomarkers in clinical diagnostics addition to being increasingly used for therapeutic purposes. Although numerous methods their detection and quantification exist, they predominantly require benchtop instruments operated by specialists. To enable the of antibodies at point-of-care (POC), development simple rapid assay independent laboratory equipment is high relevance. In this study, we demonstrate microfluidic thread-based analytical devices (μTADs) as a new...
