Embodiment 1

[0108] Also shown in Example 1 is an enzyme nanocomplex n (AOx-Cat) containing alcohol oxidase (AOx) and catalase (Cat) and the potential of said nanocomplex as an alcohol detoxifier. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the remarkable role of n(AOx-Cat) in metabolizing alcohol and attenuating alcohol-induced liver injury while converting the toxic by-product H 2 O 2 release is minimized. Therefore, the experimental data clearly demonstrate that the enzyme nanocomplex (EN) of the present disclosure achieves improved catalytic efficiency and increased stability, and at the same time can reduce intermediates that may be toxic to the environment (such as H 2 O 2 ) release. Thus, one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a nanocomplex comprising two or more enzymes, said nanocomplex comprising a first enzyme and a second enzyme and a polymer network anchoring anchored to at least one of the enzymes or alternatively at least two or three or four or five or...

Abstract

The invention disclosed herein includes nanocomplexes that are designed include enzymes that have complementary functional attributes and methods for using these nanocomplexes. Illustrative examples include nanocomplexes that comprise both an alcohol oxidase enzyme as well as a catalase enzyme. These nanocomplexes can be used in methods designed to lower blood alcohol levels in vivo, and / or to break down the toxic byproducts of alcohol metabolism. Consequently these nanocomplexes can be used to treat a variety of conditions resulting from the consumption of alcohol, including for example, acute alcohol intoxication.
