Light‐Triggered Inactivation of Enzymes with Photothermal Nanoheaters
A universal method for inactivating enzymes on demand is introduced, which involves irradiating nanorod‐bound enzymes with near‐infrared light. The subsequent generation of plasmonic heat denatures the enzymes selectively without damaging other proteins or cell membranes present in the same solution...

Summary: | A universal method for inactivating enzymes on demand is introduced, which involves irradiating nanorod‐bound enzymes with near‐infrared light. The subsequent generation of plasmonic heat denatures the enzymes selectively without damaging other proteins or cell membranes present in the same solution. |
