title: Supramolecular mimetic peroxidase based on hemin and PAMAM dendrimers.
abstract: An acid-base interaction between hemin and PAMAM dendrimers affords supramolecular non-covalent peroxidase systems whose catalytic activity is enhanced after spontaneous electrostatic self-assembling onto a solid surface.
