Abstract
being the most efficient biocatalyst among all the dimensionally diverse nanostructures. Unlike the natural enzyme, the peptide nanostructures exhibited the robust nature of the hydrolase activity over a broad range of temperature and pH. Finally, the peptide nanostructures are explored as efficient heterogeneous flow catalysts to improve the turnover number for the hydrolase activity.
