Spontaneous deposition of horseradish peroxidase into polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules to improve its activity and stability

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Sep 7:(17):1928-9. doi: 10.1039/b204583d.

Abstract

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was encapsulated in preformed polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) microcapsules by spontaneous deposition with remarkably improved stability and catalytic activity.
