Funded Activity Summary

Next generation enzymes using stimuli responsive protein/polymer hybrids. Improved stability and control over activity are key to unlocking the full potential of enzymes. Advanced polymer synthesis and synthetic biology will be combined to engineer stable, bioresponsive enzyme/polymer hybrids. This study will: 1: Develop a rapid screening method to identify the optimal sites for polymer-to-enzyme attachment 2: Evaluate the stability and bioresponsive activity of enzyme/polymer hybrids 3: Formulate enzyme/polymer hybrids into a targeted nanoparticle delivery system This project will examine the performance of polymer-enzyme hybrids with cells, however these innovations will also have significant applications in other fields using enzymatic processes, such as food processing, biofuel production, and agriculture.
