Summary:The use of nanostructures for enzyme immobilization is an attractive method to increase the overall activity and stability. Self-assembly of enzyme nanostructures has also been shown to provide similar beneficial effects with improved control at the molecular level. In this review paper, we highlighted the recent success in the use of biological assembly methods in creating highly active nanobiocatalysts.
