Polymer science has played a pivotal role in the development of nanotechnology. Self-assembly of polymeric materials at the molecular-level enables the fabrication of periodic arrays of nanostructures with various geometries and sizes, which present exciting opportunities in fabrication of nanoscale devices. However, self-assembled structures are often too regular for use in fabricating complex devices. Therefore, a simple layer-by-layer method was developed to allow for quantitative control over both size and shape of equilibrium nanostructures in self-assembled block copolymer thin films. The use of photolithography imparted spatial control over the self-assembly process.

520 $a Polymer science has played a pivotal role in the development of nanotechnology. Self-assembly of polymeric materials at the molecular-level enables the fabrication of periodic arrays of nanostructures with various geometries and sizes, which present exciting opportunities in fabrication of nanoscale devices. However, self-assembled structures are often too regular for use in fabricating complex devices. Therefore, a simple layer-by-layer method was developed to allow for quantitative control over both size and shape of equilibrium nanostructures in self-assembled block copolymer thin films. The use of photolithography imparted spatial control over the self-assembly process.
520 $a Such self-assembly can result in structures approaching the size of single biomacromolecules, potentially enabling the precise placement of individual enzymes. Using these nanostructured thin films as inspiration, the effect of nanopatterning enzymes for multi-step biocatalysis was explored numerically by developing a kinetic Monte Carol simulation. Molecular trajectories of the reaction species as well as turnover frequency of individual enzymes on the surface were tracked under diffusion-limited and reaction-limited conditions. Interestingly, these simulations revealed that enzyme density and arrangement have little impact on overall activity of the multi-enzyme cascade reaction.
520 $a Given these results, we turned our attention to improving enzymatic activity by covalent modification of the enzyme with polymeric materials. This covalent modification holds tremendous promise as an approach to tune the molecular-level interactions between enzymes and their solvent environments. Enzymes modified with highly soluble polymers had greatly improved solubility in an ionic liquid. This correlated with increases of up to 19-fold in enzyme activity. However, because the preparation and purification of enzymes can be costly, the loss of recyclability of the newly homogeneous enzyme-polymer conjugates was undesirable. By utilizing a responsive polymeric material, the miscibility of the enzyme can be altered adaptively. Specifically, thermodynamic interactions between the enzyme-polymer conjugate and solvent were varied as a function of temperature by utilizing a thermoresponsive polymer. When recycled via sequential dissolution and precipitation, the enzyme did not lose any activity. This approach enables the benefits of both increased activity of homogeneous biocatalysis and improved processability of heterogeneous biocatalysis in non-native solvents.
