We measured the behavior of polymer microparticles in a quasi-two-dimensional system under aqueous environment, at various area fraction values of particles. In the presence of enzymatic activity, not only was the diffusion of the suspended particles enhanced at shorter time-scales, but the system also showed a transition from subdiffusive to diffusive dynamics at longer time-scale limits. Similar observations were also recorded with enzyme-functionalized microparticles. Brownian dynamics simulations have been performed to support the experimental observations.falseArticle24700053May 20241054607arJournal3WOS:001236605500004
