Enzyme immobilization in a biomimetic silica support

Article Abstract:

The techniques that are robust immobilized preserves the activity of biomolecules that have many applications such as the harsh conditions required for chemical synthesis, limits the applicability of silicates and others. The use of biosilica for enzyme immobilization combines the excellent support properties of silica matrix with a benign immobilization method that retains enzyme activity.

A new school for screening

Article Abstract:

A fragment-based discovery method, referred as scaffold based drug design is introduced and its utility in the rapid identification of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors is discussed. The focus is laid on the discovery of novel inhibitors of the PDE enzyme family.
