Enzyme encapsulation in nanoporous silica spheres.
Encapsulating enzymes in mesoporous silica spheres via immobilization, followed by assembling an organic/inorganic nanocomposite shell on the particle surface leads to high loadings, high enzymatic activity and stability, and protection from proteolysis.
