(567ce) Polymer-Conjugated Multi-Enzyme Biohybrid Carrier for Rapid Metabolism of Ethanol

Biohybrid materials, or materials utilizing biological molecules in their rational design, are prime therapeutic carrier candidates to perform detoxification processes. Specifically, catabolic processing of alcohol is a significant component of the glycolytic pathway to yield energy from alcohol. Moreover, the process is crucial to preventing toxic buildup of ethanol and its unstable, free-radical forming byproduct acetaldehyde.
