- Title
Bioorthogonal catalysis: Rise of the nanobots.
- Authors
Unciti-Broceta, Asier
- Abstract
The article focuses on the study conducted by Rotello and colleagues which describes a nanorobot combining non-biological catalytic system with artificial regulatory elements. Topics include the biocompatibility of the nanorobot, the capability of a Pd catalyst-containing device in the intracellular activation of prodrugs, and the potential benefits of integrating bioorthogonal catalysts and mechanochemical components into artificial nanostructures.
