POROUSRIGIDITYBioinspired micro‐/nano‐motors are artificial micro‐/nano‐machines that can convert various forms of energy to propel their movement[1].For example,the motion of some of these micromachines can
Ultrasmall enzyme/light-powered nanomotor facilitates cholesterol detection 2022, Journal of Colloid and Interface Science Citation Excerpt : However, this process is usually accompanied by the generation of oxidizing reactive oxygen species, which could interfere with the detection processes. For photothermal...
The use of enzyme catalysis to design chemically powered micro/nanomotors offers long lifetime, besides unique features including biocompatibility, versatility, and fuel bioavailabil- ity. 15,16 For instance, the glucose-fueled Janus nanomotors obtained by immobilizing the glucose oxidase/catalase ...
We experimentally assess this hypothesis for urease micromotors through competitive inhibition (acetohydroxamic acid) and increasing enzyme rigidity (尾-mercaptoethanol). We conclude that the conformational changes are a precondition of urease catalysis, which is essential to generate self-propulsion....
