mesoporous silica (MS) nanoparticles is controlled by an integrated enzyme-based “control
unit”. The system consists of Janus-type nanoparticles having opposing Au and MS faces,
functionalized with a pH-responsive β-cyclodextrin-based supramolecular nanovalve on the
MS surface and two effectors, glucose oxidase and esterase, immobilized on the Au face.
The nanodevice behaves as an enzymatic logical OR operator which is selectively fueled by …
