Reversible enzyme immobilization via a very strong and nondistorting ionic adsorption on support-polyethylenimine composites

New tailor-made anionic exchange resins have been prepared, based on films of large polyethylenimine polymers (e.g., MW 25,000) completely coating, via covalent immobilization, the surface of different porous supports (agarose, silica, polymeric resins). Most proteins contained in crude extracts from different sources have been very strongly adsorbed on them. Ionic exchange properties of such composites strongly depend on the size of polyethylenimine polymers as well as on the exact conditions of the covalent coating of the solids with the polymer. On the contrary, similar coating protocols yield similar matrices by using different porous supports as starting material. For example, 77% of all proteins contained in crude extracts from Escherichia coli were adsorbed, at low ionic strength, on the best matrices, and less than 15% of the adsorbed proteins were eluted from the support in the presence of 0.3 M NaCl. Under these conditions, 100% of the adsorbed proteins were eluted from conventional DEAE supports. Such polyethylenimine-support composites were also very suitable to perform very strong and nondistorting reversible immobilization of industrial enzymes. For example, lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL), beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae and D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) from Rhodotorula gracilis, were adsorbed on such matrices in a few minutes at pH 7.0 and 4 degrees C. Immobilized enzymes preserved 100% of catalytic activity and remained fully immobilized in 0.2 M NaCl. In addition to that, CRL and DAAO were highly stabilized upon immobilization. Stabilization of DAAO, a dimeric enzyme, seems to be due to the involvement of both enzyme subunits in the ionic adsorption.     

Sucrose hydrolysis by invertase immobilized on functionalized porous silicon

A successful recipe for the production of immobilized invertase/porous silicon layer with appropriate catalytic behavior for the sucrose hydrolysis reaction is presented. The procedure is based on support surface chemical oxidation, silanization, activation with glutaraldehyde and finally covalent bonding of the free enzyme to the functionalized surface. The catalytic behavior of the composite layer as a function of pH, temperature, and the current density applied in the porous silicon (PS) preparation is investigated. Interestingly, V_max undergoes a substantial increase (ca. 30%) upon immobilization. The value of K_m increases by a factor of 1.53 upon immobilization. The initial activity is still preserved up to 28 days while the free enzyme undergoes a 26% loss of activity after the same period. Based on the outcomes of this study, we believe that tailored PS layers may be used for the development of new bioreactors in which the active enzyme is immobilized on the internal walls and is not lost during the process.     

Comparison of soluble and immobilized trypsin kinetics: Implications for peptide synthesis

The protease trypsin was immobilized to porous glass in both the presence and absence of acetylated soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) to determine whether immobilization could alter enzyme activity in favor of aminolysis over hydrolysis. Actiive-site titration with 4-methylumbelliferylguanidinobenzoate (MUGB) showed that only about 10% of immobilized trypsin had catalytic activity. Immobilization in the presence of STI produced a higher yield of active enzyme accessible to the inhibitor but did not increase the total yield of MUGB-active immobilized enzyme. Thus, enzyme inactivation upon immobilization could not be attributed to an inaccessible enzyme orientation, nor did STI prevent inactivation by stabilizing the active-site conformation. Kinetic parameters were determined for soluble and immobilized trypsin for two esters, N-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester (TAME) and N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE), and two amides, N-benzoyl-L-arginine p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) and N-t-boc-leucylglycylarginine p-nitroanilide (LGRNA). In all cases, immobilization caused a greater decrease in k(cat) for amidase activity than for esterase activity. The ratio [k(cat)/ K(m) (ester)]/[k(cat)/K(m) (amide)] increased slightly or stayed the same (for I.GRNA) or decreased sharply (for BAPNA). Including STI during immobilization had little effect on the active enzyme's intrinsic kinetics. A direct comparison of energy diagrams and free energies of activation for BAEE and BAPNA indicates that immobilization raises the free energy barriers for both amide and ester hydrolysis and lowers the energy barrier for aminolysis. In practice, these effects should lower the amidase activity and increase the aminolysis-hydrolysis ratio, rendering the immobilized enzyme a more efficient catalyst for peptide synthesis.

Assembly of graphene oxide‐formate dehydrogenase composites by nickel‐coordination with enhanced stability and reusability

Featuring unique planar structure, large surface area and biocompatibility, graphene oxide (GO) has been widely taken as an ideal scaffold for the immobilization of various enzymes. In this regard, nickel‐coordinated graphene oxide composites (GO‐Ni) were prepared as novel supporters for the immobilization of formate dehydrogenase. The catalytic activity, stability and morphology were studied. Compared with GO, the enzyme loading capacity of GO‐Ni was enhanced by 5.2‐fold, besides the immobilized enzyme GO‐Ni‐FDH exhibited better thermostability, storage stability and reuse stability than GO‐FDH. GO‐Ni‐FDH retained 40.9% of its initial activity after 3 h at 60°C, and retained 31.4% of its initial relative activity after 20 days’ storage at 4°C. After eight times usages, GO‐Ni‐FDH maintained 63.8% of its initial activity. Mechanism insights of the multiple interactions of enzyme with the GO‐Ni were studied, considering coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds, electrostatic forces, coordination bonds, and etc. A practical and simple immobilization strategy by metal ions coordination for multimeric dehydrogenase was developed.     

Adsorptive immobilization of erythrocyte membrane

Immobilization of human erythrocyte membrane was carried out by adsorption on Fractosil, a porous form of silica. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was chosen as a representative membrane enzyme in this study. Dependency of adsorption on membrane concentration was determined. Positive cooperative interactions that occurred in the process of immobilization increased stability. Presence of hydrophobic ligands on derivatized Fractosil was found to enhance stability of immobilized preparations making them more effective for use in continuous catalytic transformations. It is suggested that adsorptive immobilization of membrane structures such as the human erythrocyte membrane fragments on Fractosil and other inexpensive supports may provide a convenient procedure for utilization of their catalytic potential. Such preparations may be used in diagnostic kits or for construction of biosensors.     

Reversible and strong immobilization of proteins by ionic exchange on supports coated with sulfate-dextran

New and strong ionic exchange resins have been prepared by the simple and rapid ionic adsorption of anionic polymers (sulfate-dextran) on porous supports activated with the opposite ionic group (DEAE/MANAE). Ionic exchange properties of such composites were strongly dependent on the size of the ionic polymers as well as on the conditions of the ionic coating of the solids with the ionic polymers (optimal conditions were 400 mg of sulfate-dextran 5000 kDa per gram of support). Around 80% of the proteins contained in crude extracts from Escherichia coli and Acetobacter turbidans could be adsorbed on these porous composites even at pH 7. This interaction was stronger than that using conventional carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and even others such as supports coated with aspartic-dextran polymer. By means of the sequential use of the new supports and supports coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI), all proteins from crude extracts could be immobilized. In fact, a large percentage (over 50%) could be immobilized on both supports. Finally, some industrially relevant enzymes (beta-galactosidases from Aspergillus oryzae, Kluyveromyces lactis, and Thermussp. strain T2, lipases from Candida antarctica A and B, Candida rugosa, Rhizomucor miehei, and Rhyzopus oryzae and bovine pancreas trypsin and chymotrypsin) have been immobilized on these supports with very high activity recoveries and immobilization rates. After enzyme inactivation, the protein could be fully desorbed from the support, and then the support could be reused for several cycles. Moreover, in some instances the enzyme stability was significantly improved, mainly in the presence of organic solvents, perhaps as a consequence of the highly hydrophilic microenvironment of the support.     

New cationic exchanger support for reversible immobilization of proteins

New tailor-made cationic exchange resins have been prepared by covalently binding aspartic-dextran polymers (e.g. MW 15 000-20 000) to porous supports (aminated agarose and Sepabeads). More than 80% of the proteins contained in crude extracts from Escherichia coli and Acetobacter turbidans have been strongly adsorbed on these porous materials at pH 5. This interaction was stronger than in conventional carboxymethyl cellulose (e.g., at pH 7 and 25 degrees C, all proteins previously adsorbed at pH 5 were released from carboxymethyl cellulose, whereas no protein was released from the new supports under similar conditions). Ionic exchange properties of such composites were strongly dependent on the size of the aspartic-dextran polymers as well as on the exact conditions of the covalent coating of the solids with the polymer (optimal conditions: 100 mg aspartic-dextran 20 000/(mL of support); room temperature). Finally, some industrially relevant enzymes (Kluyveromices lactis, Aspergillus oryzae, and Thermus sp. beta-galactosidases, Candida antarctica B lipase, and bovine pancreas trypsin and chymotrypsin) have been immobilized on these supports with very high activity recovery and immobilization rates. After enzyme inactivation, the enzyme can be fully desorbed from the support and the support could be reused for several cycles.
