Gold and silver nanoparticles for biomolecule immobilization and enzymatic catalysis

TL;DR: A simple method for alcohol synthesis with high enantiomeric purity was proposed and the use of a cross-linker in immobilization process promoted a loss to 30% of the initial enzyme activity and >92% immobilization in contrast to the physical and covalent immobilizations.
