development of Pickering interfacial catalysis (PIC) at liquid–liquid interfaces with chemocatalysts, the use of unstable biocatalysts at emulsion interfaces remains a technical challenge. Herein, we present a Pickering interfacial biocatalysis (PIB) platform based on robust and recyclable enzyme–polymer conjugates that act as both catalytic sites and stabilizers at the interface of Pickeringemulsions.

Using a novel water-soluble, active ester amide-containing functionalized controlled radical polymerization initiator, stimuli responsive polymers have been grown from the surface of a protein, exemplified by chymotrypsin or any protein having surface amino acids that will covalently bind to the active ester amide-containing functionalized initiator. It is shown that changes in temperature or pH can change the conformation of the polymer surrounding the enzyme, which in turn enabled the rational tailoring of enzyme activity and stability. This method has afforded an increase in the activity and stability of the enzyme by an order of magnitude at pH's where the enzyme is usually inactive or unstable. Multimodal temperature responsive protein-block copolymer conjugates are described.

reagent that allows for direct incorporation of the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator into both short synthetic oligoribonucleotides and natural biomass RNA extracted from torula yeast. The acylation was performed in a quantitative yield. The resulting initiator-functionalized RNAs were used for grafting polymer chains from the RNA by photoinduced ATRP, resulting in RNA-polymer hybrids

An enzyme-polymer conjugate shows increased activity and molecular dissolution in non-aqueous solvents enabling enzyme mediated catalysis in non-aqueous solutions. The inventions described in this specification relate to enzyme-polymer conjugates, organic solutions comprising enzyme-polymer conjugates, methods of dissolving enzyme-polymer conjugates in organic solvents, and methods of using enzyme-polymer conjugates, for example, in catalysis applications. The inventions described in this specification address the problems of insolubility and decreased activity of enzymes in non-aqueous solutions comprising, for example, organic solvents or ionic liquids.
