抑制剂对有机相酶促己酸乙酯合成中固定化脂肪酶影响

稳定的催化活性和选择性的调节与控制已成为研究有机相酶促反应机制和应用的重要内容。由于选择和优化反应条件的方法具有较大局限性．目前有机介质中酶催化选择性和稳定性的调节与控制的研究除了常用的固定化手段外,更关注通过改变酶分子自身的一些方法上。如蛋白质工程、酶的化学修饰和非共价修饰〔1.2〕。相比之下,其中非共价修饰具有方便、实用的特点。酶的修饰剂大多也是酶的抑制剂。抑制剂已用来研究脂肪酶的结构与代谢特征〔3〕。Russel,Guo等通过其改变酶的构象和界面特征来调节和控制酶稳定的特异性〔4.5〕。我们在对微生物脂肪酶正庚烷中合成短链芳香酯研究基础上〔6.7〕。本文报道用具有两亲特性的表面活性剂、胆汁盐和金属离子这些脂肪酶的抑制剂对庚烷中脂肪酶酶促己酸乙酯酯化反应的影响,以促进酶活性的调节和控制的研究和应用。     

CLEAs of Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) with a bovine serum albumin (BSA) cofeeder core: Study of their catalytic activity

Highly active CALB cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) were synthesized using a layered methodology based on the synthesis of a cross-linked protein cofeeder core over which an external layer of lipase was later cross-linked. The layered CALB CLEAs were characterized in terms of their catalytic activity in three different test reactions: esterification of oleic acid and ethanol in absence of solvents, esterification of oleic acid and heptanol in organic medium, and hydrolysis of triolein in emulsioned medium. The impact of the cross-linker/protein mass ratio on CLEAs activity, and its evolution with storage time were evaluated in the solventless synthesis of ethyloleate. The amount of cross-linker used showed to be a key parameter for the evolution of the catalytic activity of CLEAs during storage. Under the best conditions found, hyperactivated CALB CLEAs with up to 188% of recovered activity in ethyl oleate synthesis were obtained. In terms of hydrolytic activity mature layered CALB CLEAs showed a retained activity of 68%. The assay of dried mature layered CALB CLEAs in heptyl oleate synthesis showed catalytic activities much higher than the one exhibited by free CALB, reaching 1 h-fatty acid conversions of 14% and 2%, respectively. The high catalytic activity shown by layered CALB CLEAs, suggests that they are an interesting alternative specially for the catalysis of fatty acid esterifications in both organic and solventless medium.

Quantitative characteristic of the catalytic properties and microstructure of cross-linked enzyme aggregates of penicillin acylase

The microstructure and the catalytic properties of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEA) of penicillin acylase (PA) obtained under different conditions were investigated. The period of time left between the enzyme precipitation and the cross-linking step was found to influence the structural organization of the resulting enzyme preparation. Confocal fluorescent microscopy of the so-called “fresh” and “mature” CLEAs PA allowed to estimate the “characteristic” diameter of CLEA PA particles, which appeared to be about 1.6 μm, and revealed that the “mature” type was composed of relatively big particles as compared to the “fresh” type. Complementary kinetic studies showed that the “mature” CLEA PA were more effective in both hydrolytic and synthetic reactions. It was suggested that the aggregate size might regulate the extent of covalent modification of PA and thereby influence the catalytic properties of CLEA.     

Enhancement of activity of cross-linked enzyme aggregates by a sugar-assisted precipitation strategy: technical development and molecular mechanism

The precipitation of enzyme causes the major activity loss in the conventional protocol for CLEAs preparation. Herein, a sugar-assisted strategy was developed to minimize the activity loss in the step of enzyme precipitation by adding sugar as the stabilizer, which contributed to improve the activity yield of resulting CLEAs. Penicillin G acylase (PGA) was employed as a model enzyme. The effects of glucose, sucrose and trehalose on the activity yields of CLEAs were investigated. The highest activity was obtained in the case of adding trehalose. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the polar microenvironment and the secondary structure of native enzyme were preserved to some extent when PGA was prepared as sugar-assisted CLEAs, resulting in PGA's higher activity than sugar-free CLEAs. Scanning electron microscope revealed the different inner morphologies, and the kinetic studies showed the higher affinity and resist-inhibition capacity of sugar-assisted CLEAs. Furthermore, stability experiments demonstrated that CLEAs prepared in sugar-assisted strategy remained higher thermal stability when it was incubated at high temperature.     

Enzyme stabilization by nano/microsized hybrid materials

Immobilization is a key technology for successful realization of enzyme‐based industrial processes, particularly for production of green and sustainable energy or chemicals from biomass‐derived catalytic conversion. Different methods to immobilize enzymes are critically reviewed. In principle, enzymes are immobilized via three major routes (i) binding to a support, (ii) encapsulation or entrapment, or (iii) cross‐linking (carrier free). As a result, immobilizing enzymes on certain supports can enhance storage and operational stability. In addition, recent breakthroughs in nano and hybrid technology have made various materials more affordable hosts for enzyme immobilization. This review discusses different approaches to improve enzyme stability in various materials such as nanoparticles, nanofibers, mesoporous materials, sol–gel silica, and alginate‐based microspheres. The advantages of stabilized enzyme systems are from its simple separation and ease recovery for reuse, while maintaining activity and selectivity. This review also considers the latest studies conducted on different enzymes immobilized on various support materials with immense potential for biosensor, antibiotic production, food industry, biodiesel production, and bioremediation, because stabilized enzyme systems are expected to be environmental friendly, inexpensive, and easy to use for enzyme‐based industrial applications.     

Sucrose phosphorylase as cross-linked enzyme aggregate: Improved thermal stability for industrial applications

Sucrose phosphorylase is an interesting biocatalyst that can glycosylate a variety of small molecules using sucrose as a cheap but efficient donor substrate. The low thermostability of the enzyme, however, limits its industrial applications, as these are preferably performed at 60°C to avoid microbial contamination. Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of the sucrose phosphorylase from Bifidobacterium adolescentis were found to have a temperature optimum that is 17°C higher than that of the soluble enzyme. Furthermore, the immobilized enzyme displays an exceptional thermostability, retaining all of its activity after 1 week incubation at 60°C. Recycling of the biocatalyst allows its use in at least ten consecutive reactions, which should dramatically increase the commercial potential of its glycosylating activity.

Preparation of Fine Magnetic Particles and Application for Enzyme Immobilization

Fine magnetic particles (ferrofluid) were prepared from a co-precipitation method by oxidation of Fe²⁺ with nitrite. The particles were activated with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane in toluene and the activated particles were combined with some enzymes by using glutaraldehyde. Enzyme-immobilized magnetic particles were between 4-70 nm and the size could be changed corresponding to the ratio of the amount of Fe²⁺ to that of nitrite. In the immobilization of β-glucosidase, activity yield was 83% and 168 mg protein was immobilized per g magnetite. Other enzymes or proteins could be immobilized at the level between about 70 and 200mg/g support. Immobilized β-glucosidase was stable at 4°C. Magnetic particles immobilized with β-glucosidase responded quickly to the magnetic field and “ON-OFF” control of the enzyme reaction was possible.
