Abstract

A series of experiments were performed to systematically analyze the effect of nanoparticle (NP) size on the catalytic behavior of enzyme–NP conjugates, and a shielding model based on diffusion–collision theory was developed to explain the correlation between the size effects and the kinetic responses.
