Silica–enzyme–ionic liquid composites for improved enzymatic activity

Trypsin and pepsin enzyme-catalyzed precipitation of silica, synthesized by sol–gel chemistry in an ionic liquid, produces a composite material that demonstrates high enzymatic activity. This study investigates the structural properties of this silica–enzyme–ionic liquid composite material that allo...
