45- 024 Synthesis of Heterogeneous Enzyme—Metal Nanoparticle Biohybrids in Aqueous
Media and Their Applications in C—C Bond Formation and Tandem Catalysis.
— Novel enzyme/metal nanoparticles nanobiohybrids synthesized in aqueous medium
are used as multivalent catalysts in various sets of synthetic reactions even at ultra-low
concentrations (ppb amount). They act as a reducing agent for nanoparticle formation,
stabilizing agent to avoid aggregation, and as a biocatalyst. — (FILICE, M.;
