Enzymes are highly desirable in green and sustainable chemistry. One of the major issues in biocatalysis is enzyme stabilization under in vitro process conditions and catalyst recycling. In recent years, mesoporous materials have been extensively explored as supports for immobilization of enzymes. This review describes the recent developments in enzyme immobilization in mesoporous materials and their potential applications as biocatalysts in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
