Self-propelled biocatalytic motors based on plant tissues are described. The tissue motors rely on their rich catalase activity towards biocatalytic decomposition of the H2O2 fuel and generation of the bubble thrust. These biomotors obviate the need for pure enzymes, and offer a remarkably low cost, good lifetime and thermostability.
基于植物组织的自推进生物催化马达被描述。这些组织马达依赖于它们丰富的过氧化氢酶活性,用于生物催化分解燃料 H2O2 并产生气泡推力。这些生物马达避免了对纯酶的需求,并提供了显著的低成本、良好的寿命和热稳定性。
