16. In the early days of this research fi eld also covalent based capsules were assigned as ' supramolecular capsules ' because of their encapsulation properties. However, because of the developments of the last decade we designate here only non - covalent based capsules as ' supramolecular capsules ' .

19. An important difference between enzymes and nanoreactors is product release from the cavity. The Michaelis - Menten kinetics assumes that product release occurs rapidly (this assumption is also done in equation 4). However, this assumption does not always counts for nanoreactors because they can display product inhibition ( vide infra ).
