“Background Immobilization of enzymes on insoluble supports is a significant process due to its promising potential in improving enzyme thermal or pH stability, easing product purification, and facilitating enzyme recycling [1, 2]. Therefore, immobilized enzymes have a broader range of applications such as bioconversion, bioremediation, biodetection, and biosensing [3–8]. Among the various supports used for enzyme immobilization, nanoporous gold (NPG) has attracted much attention recently [9–12].
