Nanozymes
- Nanozymes are a class of nanomaterials with enzyme-like catalytic activities.
- Nanozymes can be categorized into 4 types based on their catalytic activities: Oxidoreductases, Hydrolases, Isomerases and Synthases.
Advantages over Conventional Enzymes
- Stability: Nanozymes are highly stable and can be used in harsh environments
- Low Cost, High Durability & Mass Production.
- Therapeutic potential
Applications
Nanozymes have been used as therapeutics against
- Cancer,
- Inflammatory diseases,
- Neurodegenerative and neurological disorders,
- Bacterial, fungal and viral infections,
- Wounds and diseases associated with Reactive Oxygen Species.
