There are several types of enzyme mimics, including:
Metalloenzymes: These mimic the function of natural enzymes that contain metal ions in their active sites. Organocatalysts: Small organic molecules that can catalyze reactions similarly to enzyme active sites. Aptamers: Short sequences of nucleic acids that can fold into specific three-dimensional shapes to mimic enzyme functions. Nanomaterials: Nanoparticles engineered to have enzyme-like activities.
