Description
Qianqian Zhu and eight co-authors build tiny capsule reactors that ferry enzymes across a shell, in a 2025 chemistry study. The capsules copy how cells move cargo through membranes. Their shells, made of a charged woven framework, can swell and shift charge on cue. That lets enzymes stick to the shell, then slip inside step by step. A chemical catalyst can be packed in first, so both kinds of worker end up in one pot.
The loaded capsules ran cascade reactions that turn carbon dioxide into useful products with light and enzymes. Activity stayed near full after loading, and the capsules could be reused well. The authors say the stepwise ferry solves a long problem in mixing bio and chemical catalysts. They pitch the method as an energy-thrifty path for green manufacturing.
