Enzyme immobilization is a biotechnological practice widely exploited in different industrial areas. Recently, several nanoscaffolds are being developed for their use in enzyme nanoimmobilization. These developments derive from the interesting advantages of nanoimmobilization over more traditional immobilization approaches. In the present development the lipase B from Candida antarctica has been covalently immobilized on a scaffold formed by viral nanoparticles derived from a potyvirus. The specific activity of the nanoimmobilized enzyme was several times higher than the commercial enzyme’s one.
