Artificial enzyme sets record as it outperforms horseradish counterpart by factor of 12
Engineered nanoparticle achieves highest efficiency of any artificial enzyme when compared with natural peroxidase
An artificial enzyme engineered by researchers in China is 12 times more efficient at catalysing a redox reaction than a natural enzyme found in horseradishes. It’s the highest efficiency any artificial enzyme has reached in surpassing a natural counterpart.
