Low cost and eco-friendly nanoparticles from cockle shells as a potential matrix for the immobilisation of urease enzyme

Cockle shells (a marine mollusc) are by-products or waste from the seafood industry, primarily made up of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and are beneficial for the immobilisation of urease (Urs). In this study, a composition of 99.5% CaCO3 nanoparticles (NPs) from cockle shells was synthesised using a si...
