Intrinsic enzymatic properties modulate the self-propulsion of micromotors
Self-propulsion of biocatalytic micro- and nanomotors is facilitated by enzymes converting substrates into products. Here, the authors show that intrinsic enzymatic properties such as conformational changes are crucial for the self-propulsion of silica microcapsules modified with urease.
