Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) has been reported as a polariton-based method for modulating the rate of biochemical reactions. Herein, we studied how VSC modulates the sucrose hydrolysis. By monitoring the refractive index-induced shift of Fabry-Pérot microcavity, in which the catalytic efficiency of sucrose hydrolysis can be increased at least two times, as VSC was tuned to resonate with the stretching vibration of O-H bonds. This research provides new evidence for applying VSC in life sciences, which holds great promise to improving enzymatic industries.
振动强耦合(VSC)已被报道为一种基于极化激元的调节生化反应速率的方法。在此,我们研究了VSC如何调节蔗糖水解。通过监测法布里-珀罗微腔的折射率诱导位移,当VSC被调谐到与O-H键的拉伸振动共振时,蔗糖水解的催化效率可提高至少两倍。这项研究为VSC在生命科学中的应用提供了新证据,有望改善酶促工业。
