Synthesis of shaped nanoparticles by enzyme treatment

Caption

Synthesis of shaped nanoparticles by enzyme treatment. Molecules (orange diamond) are treated with a linker (green line), such as lysine or hyaluronan, to create and aggregate. The aggregate is then treated with a corresponding enzyme, such as trypsin or hyaluronidase, to create shaped nanoparticles. (Rumana Akter, et al. Nanoscale Horizons. May 23, 2024)
