Unusual reactions of interesterification and synthesis catalyzed by Candida cylindracea lipase have been tested in reverse microemulsions. The microemulsions used are made of fatty acids or triglycerides, the enzyme dissolved in a very low water quantity, Brij 35 used as surfactant and an alcoholic cosurfactant. In such a system, fats and alcohols are both the substrates of the enzyme and the microemulsion components. Incidentally, non specific Candida cylindracea lipase does not catalyze interesterification of short chain triglycerides, revealing a specificity for the chain length. Interesterification reactions tested in the presence of a given water quantity but with varying water activities show that it is the water activity and not the water quantity which is a fundamental parameter of the system. The effect of the surfactant (Brij 35) on the interesterification reaction is studied. Heptyl-oleate synthesis catalyzed by non-specific lipase is obtained in microemulsions at a 98% yield. Synthesis of glycerol esters is also tested in monophasic medium and mono and diglycerides are obtained. 相似文献

1. Bilirubin oxidase can catalyse the oxidation of its primary substrate, bilirubin, in a water-in-oil microemulsion, which consists of discrete nanometer-diameter water droplets dispersed in a continuous water-immiscible oil medium. The droplets are stabilized by a monolayer of the surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide present at the oil/water interface. 2. Spectroscopic evidence is presented to show that bilirubin solubilized in this system is located mainly in the surfactant layer, in a form accessible to the enzyme molecule. 3. Studies are presented on the enzyme-catalysed rate of bilirubin oxidation in this system, as a function of temperature, pH, water content, and substrate and enzyme concentrations. 4. The main conclusions are that the enzyme can efficiently oxidise bilirubin in microemulsions of low water content. The reaction obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The optimal pH for the catalysis is 8.0. The efficiency of catalysis decreases sharply as the water content increases. 相似文献

Microporous polymer supports for the immobilization of lipase have been prepared by the polymerization of a concentrated emulsion precursor. The concentrated emulsion consists of a mixture of styrene and divinyl-benzene containing a suitable surfactant and an initiator as the continuous phase and water as the dispersed phase. The volume fraction of the latter phase was greater than 0.74, which is the volume fraction of the dispersed phase for the most compact arrangement of spheres of equal radius. The lipase from Candida rugosa has been immobilized on the internal surface of the hydrophobic microporous poly(styrene-divinyl benzene) supports and used as biocatalysts for the hydrolysis of triacylglycerides. The effects of the amount of surfactant, of the molar ratio of divinylbenzene/styrene in the continuous phase, and of the aquaphilicity of the supports on the adsorption, activity, and stability of the immobilized lipase have been investigated. The microporous poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) adsorbents constitute excellent supports for lipase because both the amount adsorbed is large and the rate of enzymatic reaction per molecule of lipase is higher for the immobilized enzyme than for the free one.

Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) describes the phenomenon of increased light output in the luminol oxidation reaction catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of certain compounds, such as para‐iodophenol. In this work, the effects of phenol on the para‐iodophenol‐enhanced HRP‐catalysed chemiluninescent reaction intensity in an aqueous buffer (Tris–HCl buffer, pH 8.5) and in a surfactant–water–octane mixture were compared. Preincubation of HRP at low phenol concentrations stimulated the chemiluminescent intensity in the assay performed in an aqueous buffer, but did not have significant effect in the sodium bis(2‐ethylhexyl)sulphosuccinate) (Aerosol OT, AOT) applied system. It was also observed that HRP preincubation with phenol concentration higher than 0.003 mg/mL produced an inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity for both assay systems. Only an inhibitory effect of phenol on the chemiluminescent intensity in the surfactant system in octane (as organic solvent) was observed. Three assays were developed to determine phenol concentration in water and in an organic solvent mixture. The detection limits were 0.006, 0.003 and 0.0005 mg/mL, respectively, for the buffer‐containing system, the AOT‐applied system with phenol standard solutions in water and for the AOT‐applied system with phenol standard solutions in octane.

An enzyme which catalyzes the synthesis of cephalexin fromD -α phenylglycinemethylester (PGM) and 7-amino-3-desacetoxy-cephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) was prepared from Xanthomonas citri (IFO 3835) and partially purified 30-fold by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose, and Sepharose-4B column chromatography. The Km values for 7-ADCA, PGM, and cephalexin were determined as 11.1, 2.1, and 1.61 mM, respectively. The enzymatic cephalexin synthesis follows the reversible bi-uni reaction kinetics. The equilibrium constant is influenced by the initial mole ratios of 7-ADCA and PGM. The cephalexin hydrolysis is catalyzed by the same cephalexin synthesizing enzyme, but methanol does not participate in the hydrolytic reaction. The amount of enzyme in the reaction mixture affects the initial rate but does not influence the equilibrium product concentration. This cephalexin-synthesizing enzyme was immobilized onto several adsorbents. Among these, Kaolin and bentonite showed a higher retention of enzyme activity and stability for reuse. The immobilized-enzyme reaction kinetics were investigated and compared with those of the soluble enzyme. A rate expression for the enzymatic synthesis of cephalexin was derived. The results of computer simulation showed good agreement with the experimental results. 相似文献

Characterization of lipase in reversed micelles formulated with cibacron blue F-3GA modified span 85
Sorbitan trioleate (Span 85) modified by Cibacron Blue F-3GA (CB) was prepared and used as an affinity surfactant to formulate a reversed micellar system for Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) solubilization. The system was characterized and evaluated by employing CRL-catalyzed hydrolysis of olive oil as a model reaction. The micellar hydrodynamic radius results reflected, to some extent, the redistribution of surfactant and water after enzyme addition, and the correlation between surfactant formulation, water content (W0), micellar size, and enzyme activity. An adequate modification density of CB was found to be important for the reversed micelles to retain enough hydration capacity and achieve high enzyme activity. Compared with the results in AOT-based reversed micelles, CRL in this micellar system exhibited a different activity behavior versus W0. The optimal pH and temperature of the encapsulated lipase remained unchanged, but the apparent activity was significantly higher than that of the native enzyme in bulk solution. Kinetic studies indicated that the encapsulated lipase in the reversed micelles of CB-formulated Span 85 followed the Michaelis-Menten equation. The Michaelis constant was found to decrease with increasing surfactant concentration, suggesting an increase of the enzyme affinity for the substrate. Stability of the lipase in the reversed micelles was negatively correlated to W0. 相似文献

A new approach for the study of an enzyme's relationship with its own reaction medium has been developed. One technique of micellar enzymology is the use of pseudohomogeneous systems composed of surfactant/water/organic solvent. In such systems, the physicochemical properties and textures of the medium depend on the relative ratios of the different components. Enzymes are catalytically active in such systems and up to the present have been studied in different microenvironments, such as micelles, microemulsions and lyotropic liquid crystals. Our purpose was to develop a system in which the enzyme could, by its activity, modify one of the components in such a way that the relative ratios among them changed sufficiently to produce a transition from one phase domain to another. The three components, water (or glucose in water), octanol and octyl-beta-D-glucoside, form a classical ternary water/oil/surfactant system. The relevant phase diagram shows different macroheterogeneous phases and microstructured domains. The enzyme beta-D-glucosidase hydrolyses octyl-beta-D-glucoside to form glucose and octanol. The enzyme was found to change the relative ratios of water (or glucose in water), octanol and octyl-beta-D-glucoside in such a manner that the physicochemical structure of the medium was modified. At the beginning of the reaction beta-D-glucosidase was present in a micellar solution of octyl-beta-D-glucoside in water. As the enzymatic reaction proceeded, the medium became biphasic. One of the two phases was the micellar solution of octyl beta-D-glucoside in water, while the other phase was either a microemulsion or a liquid crystalline phase. In addition the enzyme, through its catalytic activity, was able to modify the physiocochemical properties of the reaction medium. 相似文献

Surfactant-Modified lipase for the catalysis of the interesterification of triglycerides and fatty acids 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The lipase-catalyzed intresterification of triglycerides and fatty acids in n-hexane was studied. Initially, lipase Saiken was modified with a surfactant of sorbitan esters so that its dispersibility in hydrophobic organic media was improved. The surfactant-modified lipase formed in the modification process carried out in a buffer solution has 1,3-positional specificity and predominantly catalyzed the interesterification reaction in a microaqueous n-hexane system. The modification technique converted inactive lipases to very active biocatalysts for the interesterification of triglycerides and fatty acids. The pH and the weight ratio of surfactant to enzyme used during the lipase modification process have shown significant effects in determining the recoveries of the protein and enzyme activity from the buffer solution, the protein content of the modified lipase complex after being freeze dried, and the interesterification activity of the complex. The water content in the reaction solution has strongly influenced the enzyme activity as well as the distribution of the products. (c) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Possible biotechnological applications of extreme halophilic enzymes are strongly determined by their high salt requirement of around 4 M NaCl. Consequently, the use of these in organic media seemed to be unlikely. However, we have succeeded in dissolving a halophilic enzyme, p-nitrophenylphosphate phosphatase from the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum, in an organic medium by creating a reverse micellar system with very low salt concentration. The enzyme retained its catalytic properties in reversed micelles made with an anionic surfactant (dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate) or with a cationic surfactant (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) in cyclohexane plus 1-butanol as co-surfactant. The dependence of the rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate phosphate on the molar water/surfactant ratio (w(0) value) showed a bell-shaped curve for each surfactant system. Kinetic parameters were determined in each system. The enzymatic reaction appeared to follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics with the anionic surfactant only. The kinetic behaviour was determined at different concentrations of Mn(2+) in reversed micelles of dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate as surfactant. 相似文献

CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase activity in rabbit lung tissue has been characterized and the optimum conditions for assaying this enzyme in vitro were determined. Rabbit lung tissue CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase activity was found primarily in the microsomal fraction. The pH optimum of the enzyme activity was between 8.8 and 9.4, and the reaction was dependent on either Mn2+ or Mg2+. Detergents and Ca2+ inhibited the activity of the enzyme. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for CDPdioleoylglycerol and myoinositol were 0.18 mM and 0.10 mM, respectively. The reversibility of the reaction catalyzed by CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase in microsomes prepared from rabbit lung tissue was demonstrated by the synthesis of [3H]CMPdiacylglycerol when [3H]CMP and phosphatidylinositol were present in the incubation mixture. The reverse reaction was characterized and its importance in the regulation of the acidic phospholipid composition of surfactant during lung development is discussed. The pH optimum for the reverse reaction was 6.2, and the reverse reaction was also dependent on Mn2+ or Mg2+. The apparent Km value of CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase for CMP was found to be 2.8 mM. 相似文献

In the case of such reactions as ester synthesis, water is produced during the reaction. Because these reactions are carried out in hydrophobic solvents an additional (water) phase in the system must not be allowed, i.e. the concentration of water saturation in the organic solvent should not be exceeded. In such a case, the reaction kinetics and product equilibrium concentration undergo undesirable changes because of the partition coefficient of the components and hampered process of product separation. Hence, removal of the water produced in the reaction determines whether the process is successful or not. For this purpose, the integrated process with water sorption in the column with molecular sieves was applied. Integration of the process of synthesis and dehydration of a reaction phase, in which a biocatalyst is suspended and not dissolved as in water solutions, requires holding up of the catalyst in the reactor before directing the stream of reaction mixture to dehydration process. This hold-up and a possibility of multiple use of the catalyst may be accomplished by using a separating barrier, e.g. an ultrafiltration membrane or by permanent fixing of the catalyst to the matrix, e.g. a polymeric membrane. The efficiency and activity of a biocatalyst (lipase CAL-B) immobilized on a polymer membrane by sorption and chemical binding, were determined. A subject of study was the synthesis of geranyl acetate, one of the most known aromatic compound. A hydrophobic (polypropylene) matrix was shown to be a much better carrier in the reactions performed in an organic solvent than a hydrophilic (polyamide) membrane being tested. The reaction kinetics of geranyl acetate synthesis with the use of geraniol and acetic acid as substrates, was described by the equation defining the "Ping-Pong Bi Bi" mechanism that was related additionally to the inhibition of a substrate (acetic acid). The following constants of kinetic equation were obtained k(3)(')=0.344 mol g(-1)h(-1), K(mA)=0.257 mol l(-1), K(mG)=1.629 and K(iA)=0.288 for the native enzyme and v(max,Gel)=111.579 mol l(-1)h(-1), K(mA)=0.255 mol l(-1), K(mG)=1.91 mol l(-1), K(iA)=0.238 mol l(-1) for the one immobilized by sorption on a polypropylene membrane. Half-life time of the native enzyme activity was 204 h and stability of the immobilized preparation was 70 h. With respect to the reaction kinetics and stability of the native enzyme and immobilized preparation, from both types of membrane bioreactor more attractive appears to be the one in which the membrane is used not as a catalyst layer but only as a barrier that immobilizes the native enzyme within the bioreactor volume. When an integrated process proceeds, the method to collect water in the sorption column during the process, appeared to work very well. The reaction proceeded with a very high efficiency (after 120 h alpha=98.2% for native enzyme and 83.2% for immobilized enzyme) and due to low water concentration in the system ( approximately 0.000% v/v) the second phase was not created. 相似文献

Kinetics of enzymatic solid-to-solid peptide synthesis: synthesis of Z-aspartame and control of acid-base conditions by using inorganic salts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Enzymatic peptide synthesis can be carried out efficiently in solid-to-solid reaction mixtures with 10% (w/w) water added to a mixture of substrates. The final reaction mass contains >/=80% (by weight) of product. This article deals with acid-base effects in such reaction mixtures and the consequences for the enzyme. In the Thermoase-catalyzed synthesis of Z-Asp-Phe-OMe, the reaction rate is strongly dependent on the amount of basic salts added to the system. The rate increases 20 times, as the KHCO(3) or K(2)CO(3) added is raised 2.25-fold from an amount equimolar to the Phe-OMe. HCL starting material. With further increases in KHCO(3) addition, the initial rate remains at the maximum, but with K(2)CO(3) it drops sharply. Addition of NaHCO(3) is less effective, but rates are faster if more water is used. With >1.5 equivalents of basic salt, the final yield of the reaction decreases. Similar effects are observed when thermolysin catalyzes the same reaction, or Z-Gln-Leu-NH(2) synthesis. These effects can be rationalized using a model estimating the pH of these systems, taking into account the possible formation of up to ten different solid phases. 相似文献

Amidase, an amide hydrolase enzyme (E.C.3.5.1.4) with acyl transferase activity, was encapsulated in a reversed micellar system composed of the cationic surfactant tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) in heptane/octanol (80/20%) and phosphate buffer at w0 11. The reaction used to study the effect of the reversed micellar system on the enzyme behaviour was a transamidation reaction. The effect of surfactant concentration, buffer molarity and pH on the enzyme kinetics was evaluated. Both initial velocities and product yield were measured. The results indicated that a high initial velocity of hydroxamic acid synthesis and also the highest yield (98%) were obtained using the lowest pH value. The effect of TTAB concentration was dependent on the buffer molarity used. The effect of buffer molarity on reversed micelle dimensions was analysed by light scattering. These results showed that the buffer molarity had a strong influence on the reversed micelle radius that correlated with enzyme activity. 相似文献

Enantioselective synthesis of ibuprofen esters in AOT/isooctane microemulsions by Candida cylindracea lipase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The enantioselective esterification of racemic ibuprofen, catalyzed by a Candida cylindracea lipase, was studied in a water-in-oil microemulsion (AOT/isooctane). By using n-propanol as the alcohol, an optimal W(0) ([H(2)O]/[AOT] ratio) of 12 was found for the synthesis of n-propyl-ibuprofenate at room temperature. The lipase showed high preference for the S(+)-enantiomer of ibuprofen, which was esterified to the corresponding S(+)-ibuprofen ester. The R(-)-ibuprofen remained unesterified in the microemulsion. The calculated enantioselectivity value (E) for S-ibuprofen ester was greater than 150 (conversion 0.32). The enzyme activities of n-alcohols with different chain lengths (3-12) were compared, and it appeared that short- (propanol and butanol) and long-chained (decanol and dodecanol) alcohols were better substrates than the intermediate ones (pentanol, hexanol, and octanol). However, unlike secondary and tertiary alcohols, all of the tested primary alcohols were substrates for the lipase. The reversible reaction (i.e., the hydrolysis of racemic ibuprofen ester in the microemulsion) was also carried out enantioselectively by the enzyme. Only the S form of the ester was hydrolyzed to the corresponding S-ibuprofen. The reaction yield was, however, only about 4% after 10 days of reaction. The corresponding yield for the esterification of ibuprofen was about 35% (10 days). The high enantioselectivity displayed by the lipase in the microemulsion system was seen neither in a similar esterification reaction in a pure organic solvent system (isooctane) nor in the hydrolysis reaction in an aqueous system (buffer). The E value for S-ibuprofen ester in the isooctane system was 3.0 (conversion 0.41), and only 1.3 for S-ibuprofen in the hydrolysis reaction (conversion 0.32). The differences in enantioselectivity for the lipase in various systems are likely due to interfacial phenomena. In the microemulsion system, the water in which the enzyme is dissolved is separated from the solvent by a layer of surfactant molecules, thus creating an interface with a relatively large area. Such interfaces are not present in the pure organic solvent systems (no surfactant) nor in aqueous systems. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Enzymatic production of ceramide from sphingomyelin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Due to its major role in maintaining the water-retaining properties of the epidermis, ceramide is of great commercial potentials in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries such as in hair and skin care products. Chemical synthesis of ceramide is a costly process, and developments of alternative cost-efficient production methods are of great interest. Present study was the first attempt to perform a systematic study on the production of ceramide through enzymatic hydrolysis of sphingomyelin. Sphingomyelin hydrolysis proved to be more efficient in two-phase (water:organic solvent) system than in one-phase (water-saturated organic solvent) system. Among the screened phospholipase C, the Clostridium perfringens enzyme had the highest sphingomyelin conversion rate, with very small temperature dependence. Addition of ethanol to the system markedly enhanced the rate of ceramide formation, and a mixture of ethylacetate:hexane (50:50) was the best organic solvent tested. Other factors such as (NH(4))(2)SO(4), NaCl and CaCl(2) were also tested but excluded for further consideration. On the basis of the initial experiments, the reaction system was optimized using response surface methodology including five factors (enzyme amount, water amount, ethanol amount, reaction time and the hexane ratio of organic solvent). Water content and enzyme amount was shown to have the most significant influence on the hydrolysis reaction in the fitted quadratic model. The efficiency of sphingomyelin hydrolysis was dramatically improved through system evaluation and optimization, with the optimal conditions at 75 min reaction time, 3 Uml(-1) enzyme amount, 6% water amount, 1.8% ethanol amount and 46% hexane in ethylacetate. 相似文献

A method is described for the measurement of enzyme activity under xeric conditions. The reaction mixtures had water contents ranging between 0.1 and 0.6g/g of reaction mixture. For glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase and fumarase, enzyme activity became detectable (about 0.05% of the fully hydrated rate) when the water content was about 0.2g/g of reaction mixture, and for phosphoglucose isomerase, around 0.15g/g of reaction mixture. With the water content raised to 0.3g/g of reaction mixture the reaction rates were only increased to 0.1-3% of the fully hydrated rate. When the combined rates for phosphoglucose isomerase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were measured, reasonable agreement was found between the experimental data and those calculated from the individual experimentally determined rates on the assumption that diffusion was not further limiting. A method was devised for measuring the diffusion coefficients of low-molecular-weight substances in solutions having low water contents. The diffusion coefficients of riboflavin in sorbitol solution decreased by about 100-fold when the water content of the latter was reduced from 3 to 0.25g/g of sorbitol. It is concluded that to detect enzyme activity a certain minimal amount of water is required and that above this minimum the rate is still restricted by diffusion limitation. The relevance of the results to the physical state of water in reaction mixtures and to metabolism in seeds and spores in xeric conditions is discussed. 相似文献

Synthesis of Aspartame Precursor Using Protease Suspended in Microaqueous Molten Amino Acids Mixture
Enzymatic synthesis of the aspartame precursor, N -(benzyloxycarbonyl)- l -aspartyl- l -phenylalanine methyl ester (Z-AspPheOMe) was performed with highly concentrated molten substrates. A mixture composed of molten N -(benzyloxycarbonyl)- l -aspartic acid (Z-Asp) and l -phenylalanine methyl ester (PheOMe) mixtures of 20 M could be prepared at 50°C. This Z-Asp/PheOMe mixture was applied to the enzymatic synthesis of Z-AspPheOMe using free thermolysin. Synthesis of Z-AspPheOMe was observed in the range of 100-150 w l of NaOH solution (12.5 M) addition to a reaction mixture consisting of 1.0 mmol Z-Asp and 1.0 mmol PheOMe at 50°C. The enzymatic activity increased with increasing water addition, and reached a maximum at 100 w l in addition to the reaction mixture of 1.0 mmol Z-Asp, 1.0 mmol PheOMe and 125 w l of the NaOH solution. In this reaction system, the conversion at the reaction equilibrium was about 60%, the initial reaction rate calculated on the basis of the enzyme weight was 2.2 w mol/g s, and the productivity calculated on the basis of the reaction mixture volume was 300 mol/m 3 h. 相似文献

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthase activity of sheep seminal vesicular gland by human serum haptoglobin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Serum haptoglobin was added to the reaction mixture of prostaglandin synthase (EC 1.14.99.1) and its inhibitory effect was studied [1-14C]Arachidonic acid was used as substrate and the enzyme activity was estimated by monitoring the radioactivity of the products after thin layer chromatography. With or without addition of hemoglobin to the reaction mixture, both the purified haptoglobin 1-1 and 2-2 showed inhibitory activity. In the presence of 5 microM hematin, however, inhibitory activity haptoglobin was not observed. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the system depended on the molar ratio of haptoglobin to hemoglobin in the reaction mixture. These results demonstrate that haptoglobin inhibits prostaglandin synthase by restricting available heme group for the enzyme activity through complexing with hemoglobin. However, haptoglobin did not inhibit completely the stimulatory effect of free hemoglobin. Relevant significant of this effect was discussed. 相似文献

Structured phenolic lipids (PLs) were obtained by lipase-catalyzed transesterification of flaxseed oil, in a solvent-free system (SFS), with selected phenolic acids, including hydroxylated and/or methoxylated derivatives of cinnamic, phenyl acetic and benzoic acids. A bioconversion yield of 65% was obtained for the transesterification of flaxseed oil with 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid (DHPA). However, the effect of the chemical structure of phenolic acids on the transesterification of flaxseed oil in SFS was of less magnitude as compared to that in organic solvent system (OSS). Using DHPA, the APCI-MS analysis confirmed the synthesis of monolinolenyl, dilinolenyl, linoleyl linolenyl and oleyl linolenyl dihydroxyphenyl acetates as phenolic lipids. A significant increase in the enzymatic activity from 200 to 270 nmol of PLs/g solid enzyme/min was obtained upon the addition of the non-ionic surfactant Span 65. However, upon the addition of the anionic surfactant, sodium bis-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT), and the cationic one, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the enzymatic activity was decreased slightly from 200 to 192 and 190 nmol of PLs/g solid enzyme/min, respectively. The results also showed that the increase in DHPA concentration from 20 to 60 mM resulted in a significant increase in the volumetric productivity (P(V)) from 1.61 to 4.74 mg PLs per mL reaction mixture per day. 相似文献
