Kinetic characterisation of enzymatic esterification in a solvent system: adsorptive control of water with molecular sieves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
《Journal of Molecular Catalysis .B, Enzymatic》2001,11(4-6):921-928
The kinetics of enzymatic esterification of glycerol with oleic acid, in equimolar ratio, catalyzed by immobilized Mucor miehei lipase in a solvent system in the presence of the molecular sieves was carried out at 37°C at different Lipozym and solvent (n-hexane) concentrations and the molecular sieve contents were studied in a batch stirred-tank reactor (BSTR). The reactions were followed by the determination of reaction conversions during 45 h. The experimental data of enzymatic esterification of glycerol with oleic acid in a solvent system in the presence of molecular sieves showed minimal deviation from the calculated value in the irreversible second order kinetic model. On the basis of the experimental data, we found an empirical correlation between concentrations of Lipozym, concentrations of solvent (n-hexane), contents of the molecular sieve and the reaction rate constant, k1. 相似文献

The esterification of geraniol with acetic acid in n-hexane was investigated. A commercial lipase preparation from Candida antarctica was used as catalyst. The equilibrium conversion (no water removal) was found to be 94% for the reaction of 0.1 M alcohol and 0.1 M acid in n-hexane at 30 degrees C. This was shown by both hydrolysis and esterification reactions. The activation energy of reaction over the temperature range 10 degrees to 50 degrees C was found to be 16 kJ/mol. The standard heat of reaction was -28 kJ/mol. Membrane pervaporation using a cellulose acetate/ceramic composite membrane was then employed for selective removal of water from the reaction mixture. The membrane was highly effective at removing water while retaining all reaction components. Negligible transport of the solvent n-hexane was observed. Water removal by pervaporation increased the reaction rate by approximately 150% and increased steady-state conversion to 100%. 相似文献

Water activity control: a way to improve the efficiency of continuous lipase esterification 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
During continuous lipase-catalyzed oleic acid esterification by ethanol in n-hexane, the oleic acid conversion, initially at 95%, decreases to 20% after 2 h. This decrease is caused by the accumulation of the water produced in the course of the reaction in the packed-bed reactor (PBR). In order to improve the PBR efficiency, it is necessary to evacuate the water produced. In this study, different approaches have been tested to control the water content in the PBR during continuous esterification. The first approach consisted in improving the water solubility by increasing the reaction medium polarity. The addition of polar additives to n-hexane, the use of more polar solvents, and the use of solvent-free reaction medium were tested as a means to favor the water evacuation from the PBR. First of all, the use ofn-hexane supplemented with acetone (3 M) or 2-methyl-2-propanol (1 M) enabled the conversion to be maintained at higher values than those obtained in pure n-hexane. The replacement of n-hexane by a more polar solvent, like the 5-methyl-2-hexanone, resulted in the same effect. In all cases, conversions at steady-state were always less than 95%, as obtained in pure n-hexane. This is explained by a decrease in the enzyme activity due to the increase in the medium polarity. Nevertheless, an increase in enzyme quantity allowed 90% conversion to be maintained during 1 week using 3 M acetone amended n-hexane. Good results (a steady-state conversion of about 80%) were obtained when esterification was carried out in a solvent-free reaction medium containing 2 M 2-methyl-2-propanol as a polar additive. The second approach consisted in the evaporation of the accumulated water by use of an intermittent airflow. Although this process did not enable constant esterification rate to be maintained, it did enable the initial conversion (95%) to be restored intermittently. 相似文献

Enzymatic reaction kinetic: comparison in an organic solvent and in supercritical carbon dioxide 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Myristic acid esterification has been performed by an immobilized lipase from Mucor Miehei both in n-hexane and in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO(2)). The enzyme is stable in SCCO(2) at 15 MPa and 323 K. The reaction rate is influenced by the concentration of water and by the reaction medium composition. A reaction mechanism is proposed, and kinetic parameters are determined at 12.5 MPa and 313 K. Maxium velocity appears 1.5-fold higher in SCCO(2) than in n-hexane; however, as solubility of myristic acid is greater in n-hexane, it is not yet definitively clear that the supercritical medium is more favorable than the classical organic solvent for this type of enzyme reaction. 相似文献

Monoglyceride synthesis by Rhyzomucor miehei lipase was investigated via direct esterification between glycerol (adsorbed onto silica gel) and oleic acid in organic solvents. The main difficulty is to avoid the unwanted production of di- and tri-glycerides. It was demonstrated that an increase in solvent polarity, using mixtures of n-hexane and 2-methyl-2-butanol (2M2B), improves drastically the selectivity toward monoglyceride formation. In pure n-hexane, the monoglyceride represents only 6 molar % of the total products at the thermodynamic equilibrium (34 and 60% for di- and tri-glyceride respectively). Use of an equivolume mixture of n-hexane/2M2B enables a product mixture to be obtained containing 94% of monoglyceride at equilibrium (2.4 and 0% for di- and tri-glyceride respectively). This positive effect is counterbalanced by a decrease both in initial velocities and in substrate conversion at thermodynamic equilibrium.A modeling, able to predict the three thermodynamic equilibria governing the 3 consecutive reactions, based on activity coefficient calculations using the UNIFAC model, is proposed. It takes into account both the partition of water between solvent and immobilized catalyst, and the partition of glycerol between solvent and silica gel. A good correlation with experimental data obtained in n-hexane/2M2B mixtures was observed. 相似文献

Enzymatic synthesis of isoamyl acetate using immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The effects of important reaction parameters for enhancing isoamyl acetate formation through lipase-catalyzed esterification of isoamyl alcohol were investigated in this study. Increase in substrate (acid) concentration led to decrease in conversions. A critical enzyme concentration of 3 g l(-1) was detected for a substrate concentration of 0.06 M (each of alcohol and acid). Solvents with partition coefficient higher than 1000 (log P>3.0) supported enzyme activity to give high conversions. Acetic acid at higher concentrations could not be esterified easily probably owing to its role in lowering the microaqueous pH of the enzyme. Extraneous water/buffer addition decreased the isoamyl acetate yields slightly ( approximately 10%) at 0.005-0.01% v/v of the reaction mixture and drastically (>40%) at above 0.01% v/v. Buffer saturation of the organic solvent employed improved esterification (upto two-fold), particularly at moderately higher substrate concentrations (>0.18 M). Employing acetic anhydride instead of acetic acid resulted in a two-fold increase in the yields (at 0.25 M substrate). Use of excess nucleophile (alcohol) concentration by increasing the alcohol/acid molar ratio resulted in higher conversions in shorter duration (upto eight-fold even at 1.5 M acetic acid). Yields above 80% were achieved with substrate concentrations as high as 1.5 M and more than 150 g l(-1) isoamyl acetate concentrations were obtained employing a relatively low enzyme concentration of 10 g l(-1). The operational stability of lipase was also observed to be reasonably high enabling ten reuses of the biocatalyst. 相似文献

Direct esterifications using a nylon-immobilized lipase from Candida cylindracea were carried out in batch and continuous-flow reactors. The immobilized enzyme was effective in catalyzing the synthesis of ethylpropionate, isoamylpropionate, and isoamylbutyrate. With ethanol dissolved in hexane as a substrate, the maximum initial esterification rate was 0.02 mole/(h x g of immobilized protein), but the enzyme was stable only when the substrate concentrations were lower than 0.2 M. With isoamyl alcohol in hexane as a substrate, esterification rates as high as 0.085 mole/(h x g of immobilized protein) were observed and the immobilized enzyme was stable over a much broader concentration range. However, in this case, the use of a solvent, such as hexane, was not necessary for esterification, and the enzyme could be employed in equimolar acid/alcohol mixtures. A packed-bed reactor was operated successfully for the continuous synthesis of esters. The reactor was stable for long periods of time, and the steady-state performance could be accurately predicted on the basis of batch reaction experiments. 相似文献

The thermal stability of Candida rugosa (C. rugosa) lipase was investigated and compared in n-hexane, benzene, dibutyl-ether as well as [bmim]PF6 and [omim]PF6 ionic liquids and the effect of solvent polarity and water activity were evaluated. Deactivation of the enzyme followed a series-type kinetic model. First order deactivation rate constants and the ratios of specific activities were determined and the kinetics of deactivation were studied. Among the organic solvents, the best stability was observed in n-hexane with a half-life of 6.5 h at water activity of 0.51. In ionic liquids, however, even longer half lives were obtained, and the enzyme was stable in these solvents at 50°C. The highest half-life times were obtained in [bmim]PF6 (12.3 h) and [omim]PF6 (10.6 h). A direct correlation was found between solvent polarity and thermal stability since the higher the polarity of the solvent, the lower was the stability decrease at 50°C comparing to that at 30°C. 相似文献

Immobilized lipase from Mucor miehei was employed for the esterification of isoamyl alcohol with acetic acid in n-heptane solvent. The important process variables studied were enzyme/substrate (E/S) ratio, alcohol (acid) concentration, and incubation period. Based on Box-Behnken design of experiments, a second order response function was developed. The percentage esterification increased with both E/S ratio and time and decreased with alcohol (acid) concentration. The model indicated optimum conditions for maximum esterification ranging from 20 to 99.6% in the alcohol (acid) concentration range of 0.031 to 0.3 M for a range of E/S ratios 8.33 to 50 g/mol, which were in good agreement with the experimental yields. 相似文献

Alginate was evaluated as an immobilization matrix for enzyme-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents. In contrast to most hydrogels, calcium alginate was found to be stable in a range of organic solvents and to retain the enzyme inside the gel matrix. In hydrophobic solvents, the alginate gel (greater than 95% water) thus provided a stable, two-phase liquid system. The lipase from Candida cylindracea, after immobilization in alginate beads, catalysed esterification and transesterification in n-hexane under both batch and continuous-flow conditions. The operational stability of the lipase was markedly enhanced by alginate entrapment. In the esterification of butanoic acid with n-butanol, better results were obtained in the typical hydrophilic calcium alginate beads than in less hydrophilic matrices. The effects of substrate concentration, matrix area, and polarity of the substrate alcohols and of the organic solvent on the esterification activity were examined. The transesterification of octyl 2-bromopropanoate with ethanol was less efficient than that of ethyl 2-bromopropanoate with octanol. By using the hydrophilic alginate gel as an immobilization matrix in combination with a mobile hydrophobic phase, a two-phase liquid system was achieved with definite advantages for a continuous, enzyme-catalysed process. 相似文献

A solvent engineering strategy was applied to the lipase-catalyzed synthesis of xylitol-oleic acid monoesters. The different esterification degrees for this polyhydroxylated molecule were examined in different organic solvent mixtures. In this context, conditions for high selectivity towards monooleoyl xylitol synthesis were enhanced from 6 mol% in pure n-hexane to 73 mol% in 2-methyl-2-propanol/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) 80:20 (v/v). On the contrary, the highest production of di- and trioleoyl xylitol, corresponding to 94 mol%, was achieved in n-hexane. Changes in polarity of the reaction medium and in the molecular interactions between solvents and reactants were correlated with the activity coefficients of products. Based on experimental results and calculated thermodynamic activities, the effect of different binary mixtures of solvents on the selective production of xylitol esters is reported. From this analysis, it is concluded that in the more polar conditions (100% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)), the synthesis of xylitol monoesters is favored. However, these conditions are unfavorable in terms of enzyme stability. As an alternative, binary mixtures of solvents were proposed. Each mixture of solvents was characterized in terms of the quantitative polarity parameter E(T)(30) and related with the activity coefficients of xylitol esters. To our knowledge, the characterization of solvent mixtures in terms of this polarity parameter and its relationship with the selectivity of the process has not been previously reported. 相似文献

Dithioerythritol (DTE) prevents inhibitory effects of triphenyltin (TPT) on the key enzymes of the human sex steroid hormone metabolism 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Organotins are known to induce imposex (pseudohermaphroditism) in marine neogastropods and are suggested to act as specific endocrine disruptors, inhibiting the enzyme-mediated conversion of steroid hormones. Therefore, we investigated the in vitro effects of triphenyltin (TPT) on human 5-reductase type 2 (5-Re 2), cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450arom), 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (17β-HSD 3), 3β-HSD type 2 and 17β-HSD type 1 activity. First, the present study demonstrates that significant amounts of TPT occurred in the blood of eight human volunteers (0.17–0.67 μg organotin cation/l, i.e. 0.49–1.92 nmol cation/l). Second, TPT showed variable inhibitory effects on all the enzymes investigated. The mean IC50 values were 0.95 μM for 5-Re 2 (mean of n=4 experiments), 1.5 μM for P450arom (n=5), 4.0 μM for 3β-HSD 2 (n=1), 4.2 μM for 17β-HSD 3 (n=3) and 10.5 μM for 17β-HSD 1 (n=3). To exclude the possibility that the impacts of TPT are mediated by oxidizing essential thiol residues of the enzymes, the putative compensatory effects of the reducing agent dithioerythritol (DTE) were investigated. Co-incubation with DTE (n=3) resulted in dose-response prevention of the inhibitory effects of 100 μM deleterious TPT concentrations on 17β-HSD 3 (EC50 value of 12.9 mM; mean of n=3 experiments), 3β-HSD 2 (0.90 mM; n=3), P450arom (0.91 mM; n=3) and 17β-HSD 1 (0.21 mM; n=3) activity. With these enzymes, the use of 10 mM DTE resulted in an at least 80% antagonistic effect, whereas, the effect of TPT on 5-Re 2 was not compensated. In conclusion, the present study shows that TPT acts as an unspecific, but significant inhibitor of human sex steroid hormone metabolism and suggests that the inhibitory effects are mediated by the interaction of TPT with critical cysteine residues of the enzymes. 相似文献

Esterification by immobilized lipase in solvent-free media: kinetic and thermodynamic arguments 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The aim of this study is to characterize, in solvent-free systems (SFS), the kinetic and thermodynamic performance of batch lipase-catalyzed esterification. SFS are compared to a conventional organic solvent, n-hexane. The esterification of oleic acid with ethanol was chosen as a model reaction. The TABEK (thermodynamic activity-based enzyme kinetics) approach was used to rationally analyze kinetics. Influence of the reaction medium on final conversions was also studied. Several factors, such as initial molar ratio of substrates, reactant availability, initial water content, and quantity of immobilized enzyme, were examined. Special attention was also turned to enzyme stability and reuse after reaction, this last item being a prerequisite in the development of industrial processes. SFS proved to be almost as efficient as n-hexane from a kinetic and thermodynamic point of view and offered a better volumetric production. 相似文献

Analysis of fecal estrogens was used to diagnose pregnancy in 6 Kiang mares (Equus hemionus holdereri ) that were kept at Tierpark Berlin. Three extraction methods were compared and were followed by an established RIA for total estrogen. Extraction of desiccated feces with chloroform/n-hexane and KOH, with and without enzyme hydrolysis showed better results than extraction with diethylether without hydrolysis. Pregnancy was confirmed by observation of foaling in 2 mares that showed estrogen concentrations between 800 and 1800 ng/g and in 1 mare that showed widely fluctuating values between 500 and 1300 ng/g of feces. Two mares with estrogen concentrations below 500 ng/g were not seen to foal. The method using chloroform/n-hexane and KOH without enzyme hydrolysis seems practical for non-invasive evaluation of the endocrine status in this endangered Equidae species. 相似文献

Trypanosoma cruzi S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) catalyzes the pyruvoyl-dependent decarboxylation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), which is an important step in the biosynthesis of polyamines. The time course of the AdoMetDC reaction under single-turnover conditions was measured to determine the rate of the slowest catalytic step up to and including decarboxylation. Analysis of this single-turnover data yields an apparent second-order rate constant for this reaction of 3300 M(-1) s(-1) in the presence of putrescine, which corresponds to a catalytic rate of >6 s(-1). This rate is minimally 100-fold faster than the steady-state rate suggesting that product release, which includes Schiff base hydrolysis, limits the overall reaction. AdoMetDC exhibits an inverse solvent isotope effect on the single-turnover kinetics, and the pH profile predicts a pK(a) of 8.9 for the basic limb. These results are consistent with a Cys residue functioning as a general acid in the rate-determining step of the single-turnover reaction. Mutation of Cys-82 to Ala reduces the rate of the single turnover reaction to 11 M(-1) s(-1) in the presence of putrescine. Further, a solvent isotope effect is not observed for the mutant enzyme. Reduction of the wild-type enzyme with cyanoborohydride traps the Schiff base between the enzyme and decarboxylated substrate, while little Schiff base species of either substrate or product was trapped with the C82A mutant. These data suggest that Cys-82 functions as a general acid/base to catalyze Schiff base formation and hydrolysis. The solvent isotope and pH effects are mirrored in single-turnover analysis of reactions without the putrescine activator, yielding an apparent second-order rate constant of 150 M(-1) s(-1). The presence of putrescine increases the single-turnover rate by 20-fold, while it has relatively little effect on the affinity of the enzyme for product. Therefore, putrescine likely activates the T. cruzi AdoMetDC enzyme by accelerating the rate of Schiff base exchange. 相似文献

Epoxy alkylstearates were synthesized by lipase catalysed esterification and perhydrolysis followed by epoxidation of oleic acid in a one-pot process. Immobilized Candida antarctica lipase (Novozym®435) was used as the catalyst. The esterification reaction occurred relatively quickly and was followed by epoxidation of the alkyl ester and the remaining fatty acid. Higher degree of esterification was achieved with n-octanol, n-hexanol and n-butanol as compared to that with ethanol and iso-propanol. The rate and yield of epoxidation was enhanced with iso-propanol but was lowered with the other alcohols. The lipase suffered significant loss in activity during the reaction primarily due to hydrogen peroxide. The presence of alcohols, in particular ethanol, further contributed to the enzyme inactivation. The epoxidation reaction could be improved by step-wise addition of the lipase. 相似文献

The effect of different concentrations of salicylic acid on total Kjeldahl nitrogen and nitrate reductase activity in the maize ( Zea mays L.) seedling was studied. The total nitrogen of the maize embryonic axis (root + shoot) from seedlings raised with 10 m M Ca(NO3 )2 for 5 days was substantially higher than that from the control when 0.01 m M salicylic acid was supplied. As supply of high (1 m M ) concentrations of salicylic acid decreased the accumulation of organic nitrogen. The in vivo activity of nitrate reductase in the roots increased at low concentrations of salicylic acid, while high concentrations were inhibitory. The stimulative concentration of the acid protected in vivo loss of nitrate reductase activity under non-inducing conditions, whereas it had no effect on in vitro loss of enzyme. It is suggested that salicylic acid increases in vivo enzyme activity indirectly, to some extent by protecting the natural inactivation of the enzyme. 相似文献

A novel deuterium ((2)H) NMR technique as developed for measuring the total number of deuterons exchanged by lyophilised protein samples following hydrogen-deuterium (H-D) exchange. Using this methodology differences in the H-D exchange behaviour of the proteolytic enzyme subtilisin Carlsberg hydrated either in air or an organic solvent were probed as a function of hydration. At low thermodynamic water activity (a(w)), the degree of H-D exchange increased rapidly with hydration (from anhydrous to a(w) 0.22). At a(w) 0.22, subtilisin powders hydrated in air were found to have reached an H-D exchange level comparable to that found upon aqueous dissolution and in agreement with previous studies using lysozyme. Lyophilised subtilisin hydrated in either dichloromethane (DCM) or diisopropyl ether (DIPE) showed a pattern of exchange (vs. a(w)) comparable to that found for powders hydrated in air. However, subtilisin hydrated in n-hexane showed a significant reduction in H-D exchange at all a(w) studied. Control experiments demonstrated that the reduction in H-D exchange observed for subtilisin in n-hexane was not a kinetic effect. This lower level of exchange in n-hexane implies that hydrated subtilisin Carlsberg has a lower conformational motility and more rigid protein matrix. 相似文献

Bile salt stimulated human milk lipase (E.C.3.1) has been used to catalyze the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenylalkanoates (alkyl C-chain length, n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 12 and 16) in a detergentless microemulsion medium of n-hexane/iso-propanol/water (71.1:27.7:1.2 vol%) containing 2 mM taurocholate at 37°C. The rate of hydrolysis of the esters with n = 2, 3, or 4 was nearly equal but the rate then fell rapidly with increasing alkyl-chain length. No activity was observed with the palmitate ester. Three dimensional surfaces were built up to represent both the catalytic activity and the rate constant of inactivation for the enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenylpropionate in a range of compositions of the ternary system n-hexane/wo-propanol/water at 37 °C. Maximum activation and maximum inactivation were observed in the ternary region of the phase diagram. In the stable; transparent micro-emulsion region another smaller maximum in activity was observed and, at this same solvent composition, minimum inactivation occurred. Values of Km lay in the range 1.37-8.98 mM while Vmax varied from 0.25-7.59 umol.min.mg-1 and the rate constant of inactivation kin ranged from (0.01-1.18). 10-3 s-1 over the three-dimensional surfaces. The most important result is that the enzyme retains its activity in microemulsion media containing less than two volume percent water content. 相似文献

We studied a model transesterification reaction catalyzed by subtilisin Carlsberg suspended in toluene, n-hexane, diisopropyl ether, and mixtures of these solvents. To account for solvent effects due to differences in water partitioning between the enzyme and the bulk solvents, we measured water sorption isotherms for the enzyme in each solvent. We measured catalytic activity as a function of enzyme hydration and obtained bell-shaped curves with maxima at the same enzyme hydration in all the solvents. However, the activity maxima were different in all the media, being the lowest in toluene. Differences in the partitioning of substrates and product between the bulk solvent phase and the enzyme active site were accounted for but could not explain the lower catalytic activity observed in toluene. The fact that toluene is very similar to one of the substrates suggested the possibility of competitive inhibition by this solvent. We derived a model allowing for differences in solvation of the substrates, by using thermodynamic activities instead of concentrations, as well as for competitive inhibition by toluene. The model fit the experimental data well, confirming that toluene had a direct adverse effect on the catalytic activity of the enzyme. (c) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
