T1 - Non-enzyme entrapping biohydrogels in catalysis LA - eng PY - 2018 SP - 3293 EP - 3306 T2 - Tetrahedron Letters SN - 1873-3581 VL - 59 IS - 35 PB - Elsevier Ltd AB - This review provides an overview of the current status and future directions of the use of biohydrogels (i.e., hydrogels obtained from biopolymers) as heterogeneous catalysts and/or supports for catalytic metal nanoparticles. This review collects a wide variety of biohydrogels used in catalytic applications, including gels made of polysaccharides (chitosan, alginate, carrageenan, dextran, agarose), proteins (gelatin, silk fibroin, ferritin) and nucleic acids (DNA). Additionally, the most significant features about the recyclability of these materials, their structural properties and the type of reactions that they catalyze are discussed.
