Development of a silica-based double-network hydrogel for high-throughput screening of encapsulated enzymes†
Abstract
A new
Trypsin, pepsin, and urease were each encapsulated within double-network hydrogels, and these encapsulated biomolecules showed good enzymatic activities, which were retained for several months. Therefore, the hydrogel was suitable for encapsulation of biomolecules for preparation of biodevices, such as bioreactors and biosensors.
