Resumen:

The immobilization of peroxidases in mesoporous materials and nanoparticles at the solid-liquid interface has allowed the development of biocatalysts with very attractive characteristics from the applicable point of view. This chapter reviews the state-of-the-art in the generation of biocatalysts with peroxidases and mesoporous materials or nanoparticles. It describes the methodology and the parameters that affect enzyme adsorption on the material, such as the pore size, superficial electrical charge of the enzyme and the material, chemistry of the material, enzyme concentration, enzyme structure, etc. Functionalization of mesoporous silica support is widely employed to improve adsorption and catalysis of immobilized peroxidases. It has been proven that immobilization of peroxidases in mesoporous silica materials and quantum dots (QDs) can help to produce oxidative biocatalysts catalytically more active and stable. Finally, the biocatalytic behavior of the biocatalyst is compared to other enzyme preparations, in terms of operational stability and catalytic activity. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
