The Effect of Substrate Hydrophobicity on the Kinetic Behaviour of Immobilized Candida rugosa Lipase

Candida rugosa lipase (EC 3.1.1.3.) was immobilized in a hydrophilic polyurethane foam and used in the hydrolysis of olive oil, in H-hexane. The results obtained were compared with those from a previous study, in which the same lipase preparation was used in the esterification of ethanol with butyric acid.

The initial rate of hydrolysis increased exponentially with increasing olive oil concentration. In contrast, for the esterification reaction, Michaelis-Menten kinetics with inhibition by both substrates, had been observed.

The effect of medium viscosity, stirring conditions and size of immobilization particles could not explain the observed kinetics of the hydrolytic reaction. However, a direct relationship was observed between the log P values of the reaction medium and the initial rate of hydrolysis, i.e., activation of the immobilized Candida rugosa lipase appears to be promoted by a high hydrophobicity of the reaction medium.

In the case of the esterification reaction, no similar correlation was found.     

Characteristics of Lipase Catalysis During Ester Synthesis in Reversed Micellar Systems

The ability of lipase from Candida cylindracea to catalyze ester synthesis from a long chain fatty acid (palmitic acid) and alcohols of varying chain length, is examined. The enzyme is located in the minimal-water environment of reversed micelles. Lipase activity is a strong function of the mode of encapsulation. Direct solid lipase addition to reversed micelles leads to encapsulation in an inactive state unless the enzyme is contacted with the acyl substrate. The alcohol inhibits activity, with low molecular weight alcohols tending to denature the enzyme. Implications to reversed micelle based biocatalyst preparation are briefly discussed.

Kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of enzymatic l-ascorbyl acetate synthesis

Kinetics and thermodynamics of lipase-catalyzed esterification of l-ascorbic acid in acetone were investigated by using vinyl acetate as acyl donor. The results showed that l-ascorbic acid could generate inhibition effect on lipase activity. A suitable model, Ping-Pong Bi-Bi mechanism having substrate inhibition, was thus introduced to describe the enzymatic kinetics. Furthermore, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were calculated from a series of experimental data according to the kinetic model. The inhibition constant of l-ascorbic acid was also obtained, which seemed to imply that enhancing reaction temperature could depress the substrate inhibition. Besides, the activation energy values of the first-step and the second-step reaction were estimated to be 37.31 and 4.94 kJ/mol, respectively, demonstrating that the first-step reaction was the rate-limiting reaction and could be easily improved by enhancing temperature.

Kinetic resolution of racemic naproxen methyl ester by magnetic and non-magnetic cross-linked lipase aggregates

Abstract

In this study, the non-magnetic and the magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) from Candida rugosa lipase were synthesized to catalyze the kinetic resolution reaction of naproxen methyl ester (NME). Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) were produced through co-precipitation method and their surfaces were modified by silanization reaction. The MIONPs were used as a platform to synthesize the magnetic CLEAs (M-CLEAs). The biocatalysts and MIONPs synthesized were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and SEM analysis. The kinetic resolution of racemic NME was studied in aqueous buffer solution/isooctane biphasic system to compare the performance of M-CLEAs and CLEAs. The effects of reaction parameters such as temperature, pH, stirring rate on the enantiomeric excess of the substrate (ee_s%) were investigated in a batch reactor system. The activity recovery of CRL enzyme in CLEAs was higher than M-CLEAs. Compared with M-CLEAs, CLEAs biocatalysts had previously reached ee_s% values. Although both biocatalysts showed similar cavity structure from SEM analysis, the lower performance of M-CLEAs may be due to the different microenvironments of M-CLEAs from CLEAs. However, the reusability performance of M-CLEAs was higher than that of CLEAs. The optimal reaction conditions for M-CLEAs and CLEAs were found to be 37?°C, pH 7.5, and 300?rpm.     

Enzymatic synthesis of a galactopyranose sophorolipid fatty acid-ester**

Sophorolipid lactones produced by Candida bombicola were deacetylated and ring opened with sodium methoxide to their corresponding methyl esters. The methyl esters, after re-acetylation with vinyl acetate using an immobilized lipase, were transesterified with 1,2-3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-d-galactopyranose in tetrahydrofuran using the same lipase catalyst. The di-O-isopropylidene sophorolipid sugar esters were hydrolyzed to give the galactopyranose sophorolipid esters as the final products.     

Evaluation of Medium Components by Plackett-Burman Statistical Design for Lipase Production by Candida rugosa and Kinetic Modeling

Lipase production by Candida rugosa was carried out in submerged fermentation. Plackett-Burman statistical experimental design was applied to evaluate the fermentation medium components. The effect of twelve medium components was studied in sixteen experimental trials. Glucose, olive oil, peptone and FeCl3?6H2O were found to have more significance on lipase production by Candida rugosa. Maximum lipase activity of 3.8 u mL-1 was obtained at 50 h of fermentation period. The fermentation was carried out at optimized temperature of 30oC, initial pH of 6.8 and shaking speed of 120 r/min. Unstructured kinetic models were used to simulate the experimental data. Logistic model, Luedeking-Piret model and modified Luedeking-Piret model were found suitable to efficiently predict the cell mass, lipase production and glucose consumption respectively with high determination coefficient(R2). From the estimated values of the Luedeking-Piret kinetic model parameters, α and β, it was found that the lipase production by Candida rugosa is growth associated.

Effect of Solvents and Kinetic Parameters on Synthesis of Ethyl Propionate Catalysed by Poly (AAc-co-HPMA-cl-MBAm)-Matrix-Immobilized Lipase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa BTS-2.

Summary A purified alkaline thermo-tolerant bacterial lipase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa BTS-2 was immobilized on a poly (AAc-co-HPMA-cl-MBAm) hydrogel network. The hydrogel showed approximately 95% binding efficiency for lipase (specific activity 1.96 U mg⁻¹). The immobilized enzyme achieved 65.1% conversion of ethanol and propionic acid (100 mM each) into ethyl propionate in n-nonane at 65 °C in 9 h. When alkane of C-chain length lower than n-nonane was used as the organic solvent, the conversion of ethanol and propionic acid into ethyl propionate decreased with a decrease in the log P value of alkanes. The immobilized lipase retained approximately 30% of its original catalytic activity after five cycles of reuse for esterification of ethanol and propionic acid into ethyl propionate at temperature 65 °C in 3 h. Addition of a molecular sieve (3 ?) to the reaction mixture enhanced the formation of ethyl propionate to 89.3%. Moreover, ethanol and propionic acid when taken a molar ratio of 3:1 further promoted the conversion rate to 94%. However, an increase in the molar ratio of propionic acid with respect to ethanol resulted in a decline of ethyl propionate synthesis.     

Enantioselectivity of Candida Rugosa Lipase Toward Carboxylic Acids: A Predictive Rule from Substrate Mapping and X-Ray Crystallography

We used substrate mapping to develop a rule that predicts which enantiomer of chiral carboxylic acid esters reacts faster in hydrolyses catalyzed by lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL, triacylglycerol hydrolase, E. C. 3.1.1.3). This rule, based on the size of the substituents at the stereocenter, is not reliable for crude CRL. It predicts the favoured enantiomer for only 23 out of 34 examples, 68% reliability. However, this rule is completely reliable for purified CRL; it predicts the favoured enantiomer for all 16 examples correctly. The examples include arylpropanoicacids, aryloxypropanoic acids, α-halophenylacetic acids, mandelic acid and O-methylmandelic acid. Further, purified CRL did not catalyse the hydrolysis of N-CBZ-phenylalanine methyl ester and N-CBZ-norleucine methyl ester. These two substrates were exceptions to the rule with crude CRL as the catalyst. Besides eliminating several exceptions, purification also raised the enantioselectivity of CRL toward carboxylic acid esters. To provide a structural basis for this proposed rule we examined the x-ray crystal structure of CRL containing transition state analogs of ester hydrolysis. We suggest that the large substituent of chiral carboxylic acids binds in a tunnel that normally binds the alkyl chain of a fatty acid. The phenyl rings of Phe 345 and Phe 415 lie close to the stereocenter, thereby fixing the orientation of the medium substituent. The three-dimensional orientation of these proposed binding sites is consistent with the rule derived from substrate mapping.     

New Evidence for Dimerization-Dependence of the Activity of Candida Rugosa Lipase

The specific activity of the lipase of Cundidu rugosu decreases with increasing enzyme concentration even in the presence of soluble substrates. Data about the hydrolysis of 2-chloropropionic acid ethyl ester (CPEE) had suggested that this phenomenon may be caused either by dimerization of the lipase or by adsorption onto the reactor wall. In order to distinguish between both models, experiments were carried out by changing not only the enzyme concentration but also the wetted surface area of the reaction vessel. These novel data reveal that wetted glass surfaces are of only minor importance - if any. Thus, the decrease of activity seems to be caused by some kind of dimerization of the lipase. In addition, it is shown that adsorption onto hydrophobic surfaces can have a dramatic effect on the specific activity. In the presence of large hydrophobic surface areas the specific activity is found to be almost as high as that observed in the presence of insoluble substrate. The analysis of a commonly used test system for lipase activity measurements based on triacetin hydrolysis exhibits a similar activity-enzyme concentration dependence.     

Studies on the Stability of Lipase from Candida Cylindracea, Free and Incorporated in Polymerisable Zwitterionic Surfactant Vesicles

Lipase from Candida cylindracea (CCL) was incorporated into vesicles of a polymerisable zwitterionic surfactant: bis[2-(pentacosa-10,12-diynoyloxy)ethyl]-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (BPAS). Vesicle systems of BPAS were characterised in terms of morphology (Electron Microscopy) and stability. Polymerisation of BPAS vesicles did not alter the morphology and polymeric vesicles were considerably more stable than the monomeric analogues. CCL was incorporated into the vesicle membrane by spontaneous insertion. The enzyme remained fully active after incorporation into the vesicle bilayer; especially in homogeneous assay mixtures the vesicle incorporated enzyme showed an increased activity when compared to the free lipase. The stability of free and incorporated lipase was determined by measuring the residual activity of the various systems when mixed with ethanol (50% v/v) or 2-(n-butoxy)ethanol (37.5% v/v), at 50°C and 60°C and in the presence of the proteolytic enzyme trypsin. In all cases the vesicle incorporated enzyme showed an increased stability against the denaturating conditions.     

Modeling of the enzymatic kinetic synthesis of cephalexin--influence of substrate concentration and temperature

During enzymatic kinetic synthesis of cephalexin, an activated phenylglycine derivative (phenylglycine amide or phenylglycine methyl ester) is coupled to the nucleus 7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA). Simultaneously, hydrolysis of phenylglycine amide and hydrolysis of cephalexin take place. This results in a temporary high-product concentration that is subsequently consumed by the enzyme. To optimize productivity, it is necessary to develop models that predict the course of the reaction. Such models are known from literature but these are only applicable for a limited range of experimental conditions. In this article a model is presented that is valid for a wide range of substrate concentrations (0-490 mM for phenylglycine amide and 0-300 mM for 7-ADCA) and temperatures (273-298 K). The model was built in a systematic way with parameters that were, for an important part, calculated from independent experiments. With the constants used in the model not only the synthesis reaction but also phenylglycine amide hydrolysis and cephalexin hydrolysis could be described accurately. In contrast to the models described in literature, only a limited number (five) of constants was required to describe the reaction at a certain temperature. For the temperature dependency of the constants, the Arrhenius equation was applied, with the constants at 293 K as references. Again, independent experiments were used, which resulted in a model with high statistic reliability for the entire temperature range. Low temperatures were found beneficial for the process because more cephalexin and less phenylglycine is formed. The model was used to optimize the reaction conditions using criteria such as the yield on 7-ADCA or on activated phenylglycine. Depending on the weight of the criteria, either a high initial phenylglycine amide concentration (yield on 7-ADCA) or a high initial 7-ADCA concentration (yield on phenylglycine amide) is beneficial.     

Synthesis of lactose monolaurate as influenced by various lipases and solvents

Fatty acid sugar esters are non-ionic detergents with multiple uses in the cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Of the many different sugar esters synthesized, lactose, a by-product of cheese manufacture, has not been investigated. The objective of this research was to investigate the synthesis of novel lactose monolaurate (LML) and sucrose monolaurate (as a comparison) (SML) using four different immobilized lipases in three different solvents at constant sugar, vinyl laurate, temperature, and enzyme concentrations. Overall, the solvent 2-methyl-2-butanol gave the highest yields and reactions rates for the synthesis of both LML and SML. Of the immobilized lipases, those from Pseudomonas cepacia, Mucor miehei and Thermomyces lanuginosus were effective depending on the sugar/solvent combination. Higher overall yields were obtained for the synthesis of LML with the differences in yields presumably due to the decreased solubility of sucrose as compared to lactose in 3 of the solvents used. Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimal temperature, enzyme concentration and ratio of reactants for LML synthesis using the immobilized lipase from M. miehei in 2-methyl-2-butanol. Based on the analysis of ridge max, the optimal synthesis conditions were predicted to occur at 61 °C, with an enzyme amount of 32 mg/mL, and a molar ratio of lactose to vinyl laurate of 1:3.8; and the optimal actual yield was 99.3%.
