Thesis defence: Francesca Bussolari
Thesis defence: Nanoactuated biocatalysis: Towards remote-controlled enzyme cascades
Event Description: Discover the latest advances in nanobiotechnology applied to industry and biotechnology. This research, led by the Bionanosurf Group (INMA, CSIC-UniZar), presents an innovative solution for controlling multienzymatic systems using magnetic nanoparticles.
Why is it important? The work addresses critical challenges in sustainable industrial production, such as:
- Remote control: The ability to act upon enzyme cascades with precision.
- “One-pot” efficiency: Integration of multiple reactions into a single, more scalable and sustainable process.
- Enhanced stability: Overcoming incompatibility in conditions (temperature and operation) between different enzymes and protecting sensitive substrates.
- Reusability: Improving the lifespan and recovery of immobilised biocatalysts.
