Hemin‐Doped, Ionically Crosslinked Silicone Elastomers with Peroxidase‐Like Reactivity

Abstract The encapsulation of hemin in polymer systems represents a powerful tool for the preparation of synthetic enzymes. Reported systems largely focus on the creation of hydrogels or microreactors that require a degree of modification to the hemin molecule itself. The straightforward synthesis of hydrophobic hemin‐aminosilicone crosslinked silicone elastomers is described with peroxidase like reactivity. Elastomers are formed from purely …
