This study reports on the synthesis of novel bienzyme polymer-assisted nanoflower complexes (PANF), their morphological and structural characterization, and their effectiveness as cascade biocatalysts. First, highly porous polyamide 6 microparticles (PA6 MP) are synthesized by activated anionic polymerization in solution. Second, the PA6 MP are used as carriers for hybrid bienzyme assemblies comprising glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Thus, four PANF complexes with different co-localization and compartmentalization of the two enzymes are prepared. In samples NF GH/PA and NF GH@PA, both enzymes are localized within the same hybrid flowerlike organic-inorganic nanostructures (NF), the difference being in the way the PA6 MP are assembled with NF. In samples NF G/PAiH and NF G@PAiH, only GOx is located in the NF, while HRP is preliminary immobilized on PA6 MP. The morphology and the structure of the four PANF complexes have been studied by microscopy, spectroscopy, and synchrotron X-ray techniques. The catalytic activity of the four PANF was assessed by a two-step cascade reaction of glucose oxidation. The PANF complexes are up to 2-3 times more active than the free GOx/HRP dyad. They also display enhanced kinetic parameters, superior thermal stability in the 40-60 °C range, optimum performance at pH 4-6, and excellent storage stability. All PANF complexes are active for up to 6 consecutive operational cycles.
