Enzymatic bioconjugation of nanoparticles: developing specificity and control

- Biological applications of nanoparticles continue to grow at a nearly unabated pace.
- For bioapplications, nanoparticles very often require bioconjugation.
- Site-specific bioconjugation allows control over molecular display on the nanoparticle.
- Enzyme-catalyzed bioconjugation offers much over conventional labeling chemistry.
- Enzymatic catalysis can provide specificity for nanoparticle bioconjugation.
