Inorganic Enzyme Mimics

Enzyme mimics (or artificial enzymes) have emerged as valuable alternatives to natural enzymes since the pioneering work of Ronald Breslow. They have numerous advantages over natural enzymes, such as high stability, low cost, and tailorable activity. Among varieties of materials explored to mimic enzymes, the inorganic ones, including inorganic complexes and nanomaterials, have attracted increasing interest over the last decade and have the potential to address the current challenges in energy, environment, health, etc.

Automated summary

Enzyme mimics, such as inorganic complexes and nanomaterials, offer advantages like high stability, low cost, and adjustable activity, making them promising alternatives to natural enzymes. These materials have garnered increased interest in recent years for their potential to address challenges in areas like energy, environment, and health.
