Abstract

Enzymatically synthesized glycogen (ESG) bearing hydrophobic groups were prepared to construct a new artificial molecular chaperone system. The radius of the amphiphilic ESG nanogel was approximately 15 nm. The nanogels prevented irreversible aggregation of carbonic anhydrase. Cyclodextrin induced the release of carbonic anhydrase in its active form via a one-step mechanism without dissociation of the nanogels.

Chemistry fascinates us. This discipline is integral to life and impacts so many aspects of our world. The scope for RSC Advances is wide-ranging because we want to capture any research that can offer crucial insights and advance chemistry. RSC Advances papers should provide an insight that advances the chemistry field. Papers that contain little or no chemistry and are not considered to be of interest or relevance to the chemistry community are not within the scope of the journal. The criteria for publication are that the work must be high quality, well conducted and advance the development of the field. Articles submitted to the journal are evaluated by our international team of associate editors and reviewers for the overall quality and accuracy of the science presented. Download our full list of subject categories to see the range of topics we publish in RSC Advances. Please ensure you have considered the following points before submitting your manuscript. Does the work present an advance over the existing literature? Please supply a covering letter with your submission to demonstrate how the work is advancing the field over the existing literature Have you provided sufficient evidence/data to support your conclusions? Have you provided adequate characterisation data for your materials/compounds? (Please check the supporting information section to ensure that the necessary requirements have been met and copies of relevant spectra have been provided where necessary) Are the results discussed in the context of the literature? Are the references relevant and do they appropriately reflect the existing literature?
