The concept of using polymeric micelles to catalyze organic reactions in water is presented and compared to surfactant based micelles in the context of molecular recognition. We report for the first time enzyme-like specific catalysis by tethering the catalyst in the well-defined hydrophobic core of a polymeric micelle.
提出了利用聚合物胶束在水中催化有机反应的概念,并在分子识别的背景下将其与基于表面活性剂的胶束进行了比较。我们首次报道了通过将催化剂键合在聚合物胶束的明确定义的疏水性核内来实现类似酶的特异性催化。
