Bound to do the job : Sol–gel methods have been used to encapsulate chloroperoxidase (CPO) in microporous silica. The encapsulated CPO can then be used as an enantioselective catalyst for the oxidation of organic sulfides (see scheme) and can be recycled without appreciable loss of activity and enantioselectivity.
