Maintaining homogeneity during a sol–gel transition by an autocatalytic enzyme reaction

Abstract

Kinetic control over supramolecular gelation by increasing the pH can be achieved using an enzymatic reaction. This method allows us to produce homogeneous hydrogels with superior and improved mechanical properties as compared to gels obtained from simple addition of base.
