Scientists create ‘nano-reactor’ to create hydrogen biofuel

Plantations International News Researchers from US-based Indiana University have actually established a virus-like biomaterial that catalyses the development of hydrogen for the production of biofuels. The biomaterial or 'nano-reactor', as scientists at Indiana University describe it, is created by putting a modified enzyme inside the protective protein shell of a virus, called a capsid. The resulting 'nano reactor' driver is 150 times much more reliable than the unaltered form of the enzyme. Essentially, we've taken an infection's ability to self-assemble myriad genetic structure blocks and also included an extremely vulnerable as well as delicate enzyme with the exceptional residential property of [...]
