Enzymatic Catalysis at Interfaces—Heterophase Systems as Substrates for Enzymatic Action

Several important enzymatic reactions occurring in nature, such as, e.g., the digestion of fat, proceed only at the interface of two immiscible phases. Typically, these systems consist of an organic substrate, dispersed in an aqueous continuous phase, with a specialized enzyme capable of working at...
