Multienzymatic Nanoassemblies: Recent Progress and Applications. Trends Biotechnol. 2019 Aug 22;: Authors: Giannakopoulou A, Gkantzou E, Polydera Α, Stamatis H Abstract Biotechnological research has turned to multienzymatic nanoassemblies as a promising concept to host multiple applications. Here, we consider important aspects around the development and optimization of such biocatalytic systems and present current advances in utilizing bi- and multienzymatic cascade reactions in diverse fields, including ultrasensitive biosensing, development of pharmaceuticals, and conversion of natural biopolymers to valuable products, highlighting their future potential in the chemical, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical industries. Diverse co-immobilization techniques and different parameters affecting the performance of multienzymatic cascade reactions are discussed. Continuous flow processes incorporating multienzymatic nanoassemblies in different reactor configurations are also presented. This technology provides an arsenal of tools for the development of innovative and effective multienzymatic systems offering new possibilities for biocatalysts applications.
