Why are Nano Bio Interfaces Important in Catalysis?
The importance of nano bio interfaces in catalysis lies in their ability to bridge the gap between nanotechnology and biology. The unique properties of nanomaterials, such as high surface area, quantum effects, and tunable physical and chemical properties, can be exploited to enhance catalytic reactions. When these nanomaterials interact with biological components, they can facilitate more efficient and selective catalytic processes. For instance, enzyme-mimetic nanocatalysts have shown potential in mimicking the highly specific catalytic actions of natural enzymes.
