Peroxidase, usually derived from horseradish, is a common enzyme used in clinical testing reagents. It is widely used not only in several biochemical assays but also in immunoassay (ELISA) kits. As a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanoparticles that mimic the complexity and function of natural enzymes can act as effective peroxidase to catalyse for the oxidization of 3,3’,5’5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), ...

Nanozymes are functional nanomaterials, such as metal oxides, with enzyme-like properties. Their ability to produce reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl (• OH) radicals makes them especially useful ...

(Nanowerk News) When Dr. Shiran Barber-Zucker joined the lab of Prof. Sarel Fleishman as a postdoctoral fellow, she chose to pursue an environmental dream: breaking down plastic waste into useful ...

To clean up contaminated soil or water, environmental engineers can turn to Nature for help. This approach, called bioremediation, sometimes involves coaxing bacteria or fungi to use their inherent ...
