25. 0 is the rate constant for the spontaneous hydrolysis of the substrate, and [catalyst] is the nominal concentration of peptide 1 on the monolayer. Since we are far from full binding of the substrate to the monolayer, we may consider the catalytic process like a bimolecular one.
26. Under these experimental conditions, there is no evidence of deacylation of Tyr, either for the nanoparticle or the peptide.
27. The ΔA value (and hence the p-nitrophenolate released) during the burst increases along with the substrate concentration, but it is less than the catalyst concentration because full saturation of the catalyst was not obtained, even at the highest substrate concentration used.

29. Recent data from our laboratory indicate that not only the substrate but also the size of the nanoparticles may alter the hydrophobicity of the monolayer covering a gold nanoparticle; see: V.
