Advances in Polyphenol Oxidase Mimic as Catalyst
摘要
Artificial enzymesArtificial enzymes have received immense interest due to their exceptional properties such as high stabilityStability and low costCost. Polyphenol oxidase enzymePolyphenol oxidase enzyme is well known for its contribution in the field of food industryFood industry, biosensorsBiosensor, medicineMedicine, and water remediationWater remediation. Thus, polyphenol oxidase mimicsPolyphenol oxidase mimics are now envisioned as a relevant alternative with a wide range of implementations in the field of biosensingBiosensing. Till date, various nanomaterialsNanomaterial along with metal complexesMetal complex and metal–organic frameworksMetal-organic-framework have been explored to mimic polyphenol oxidasePolyphenol Oxidase activityActivity. This chapter summarizes the latest progress in the field of polyphenol oxidase mimicsPolyphenol oxidase mimics, and highlights the factors affecting the polyphenol oxidase mimicPolyphenol oxidase mimics activityActivity. The kineticKinetic studies and mechanismMechanism of polyphenol oxidasePolyphenol Oxidase as well as its mimic has been compared. The biosensing techniquesBiosensing techniques to evaluate the polyphenol oxidasePolyphenol Oxidase and mimic activityMimic activity of synthesized materials have also been reported. The future research challenges and opportunities to enhance the polyphenol oxidase mimicPolyphenol oxidase mimics activityActivity are summarized.
