Vesicles can be used in various types of catalysis, including:
1. Enzyme Catalysis: Vesicles can encapsulate enzymes, providing a stable microenvironment that preserves enzyme activity and prevents denaturation. 2. Homogeneous Catalysis: In homogeneous catalysis, vesicles can contain soluble catalysts and substrates, facilitating efficient mixing and reaction. 3. Heterogeneous Catalysis: Vesicles can support immobilized catalysts on their membranes, allowing for easy separation and reuse of catalysts.
