Giant Nanotubes Loaded with Artificial Peroxidase Centers: Self‐Assembly of Supramolecular Amphiphiles as a Tool To Functionalize Nanotubes

Abstract

Test tubes: Large-diameter nanotubes have been obtained by direct self-assembly of cyclodextrin-based host–guest superamphiphiles (see picture). By manipulating the surface of the nanotubes with a combination of a molecular-imprinting strategy and self-assembly, the main catalytic components of glutathione peroxidase were fabricated on the nanotube scaffold.
