Protein–inorganic nano hybrid sheets of Pd embedded BSA as a robust catalyst in water for oxidase mimic activity and C–C coupling reactions, and as a sustainable material for micromolar sensing of dopamine

Abstract

A new nano-hybrid sheet material using palladium and BSA protein (Pd_NP@BSA_sheet) was developed as a sustainable catalyst for C–C coupling reactions in water, as an oxidase enzyme mimic and for the detection of dopamine in buffer, human serum and urine.
