Control of microenvironment around enzymes by hydrogels

Abstract

We prepared enzyme-immobilized hydrogels and investigated the effects of the cross-linking density and polymer properties on their oxidation reaction rate. The oxidation rate of enzyme-immobilized hydrogels increased as the cross-linking density in the hydrogels increased. In addition, we controlled the oxidation rate using hydrogels exhibiting an appropriate interaction with a decoy molecule in the hydrogel.
