Engineering proteinaceous colloidosomes as enzyme carriers for efficient and recyclable Pickering interfacial biocatalysis.

ABSTRACT: Despite Pickering interfacial biocatalysis being a popular topic in biphasic biocatalysis, the development of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion systems stabilized by single particles remains a challenge. For the first time, hydrophobized proteinaceous colloidosomes with magnetic-responsiveness are developed to function as both an enzyme carrier and emulsifier, achieving a breakthrough in protein-based w/o Pickering bioconversion. Enzyme-loaded protein colloidosomes are synthesized by a facile and mild method via emulsion templating. This system exhibits superior catalytic activity to other systems at the oil-water interface. Besides, feasible enzyme recovery and reusability ensure that this novel system can be employed as an efficient and eco-friendly recyclable platform.
