Abstract
Chitin oligosaccharides (CTOS) possess potential applications in food, medicine, and agriculture. However, lower mass transfer and catalytic efficiency are the main kinetic limitations for the production of CTOS from shrimp shell waste (SSW) and crystalline chitin. Chemical or physical methods are usually used for pretreatment to improve chitinase hydrolysis efficiency, but this is not eco-friendly and cost-effective. To address this challenge, a chitinase nanoreactor with the liquid-solid system (BcChiA1@ZIF-8) was manufactured to boost the one-step degradation of SSW and crystalline chitin. Compared with free enzyme, the catalytic efficiency of BcChiA1@ZIF-8 on colloidal chitin was significantly improved to 142 %. SSW and crystalline chitin can be directly degraded by BcChiA1@ZIF-8 without any pretreatments. The yield of N, N'-diacetylchitobiose [(GlcNAc)2] from SSW and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from crystalline chitin was 2 times and 3.1 times than that of free enzyme, respectively. The reason was that BcChiA1@ZIF-8 with a liquid-solid system enlarged the interface area, increased the collision frequency between enzyme and substrate, and improved the large-substrates binding activity of chitinase. Moreover, the biphasic system exhibited excellent stability, and the design showed universal applicability. This strategy provided novel guidance for other polysaccharide biosynthesis and the conversion of environmental waste into carbohydrates.

Abstract
This research article examines the reaction-diffusion process in an immobilized enzyme batch reactor. The model incorporates strongly non-linear factors that are associated with standard Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The non-linear reaction-diffusion equations for substrate and product concentrations have been approximated analytically. Employing two different semi-analytical methods, Akbari-Ganji's method (AGM) and the modified Adomian decomposition method (MADM), to compute the dimensionless steady-state solutions to the system of non-linear differential equations for all values of reaction parameters. In addition, the dynamics of the mean integrated effectiveness factor of penicillin acylase in porous spherical particles have been presented for the determination of the local effectiveness factor. In order to gauge the potency of our proposed solution, we compare two semi-analytical results with a numerical result that are in good agreement across the whole concentration range. The proposed formulation aims to simulate the dynamic performance of the system utilizing the parameters and would enhance the determination of the optimum particle size for enzyme catalysts.

Abstract
The use of enzymes in industrial processes requires the improvement of their features in many instances. Enzyme immobilization, a requirement to facilitate the recovery and reuse of these water-soluble catalysts, is one of the tools that researchers may utilize to improve many of their properties. This review is focused on how enzyme immobilization may improve enzyme stability. Starting from the stabilization effects that an enzyme may experience by the mere fact of being inside a solid particle, we detail other possibilities to stabilize enzymes: generation of favorable enzyme environments, prevention of enzyme subunit dissociation in multimeric enzymes, generation of more stable enzyme conformations, or enzyme rigidification via multipoint covalent attachment. In this last point, we will discuss the features of an "ideal" immobilization protocol to maximize the intensity of the enzyme-support interactions. The most interesting active groups in the support (glutaraldehyde, epoxide, glyoxyl and vinyl sulfone) will be also presented, discussing their main properties and uses. Some instances in which the number of enzyme-support bonds is not directly related to a higher stabilization will be also presented. Finally, the possibility of coupling site-directed mutagenesis or chemical modification to get a more intense multipoint covalent immobilization will be discussed.

Estimation of the Effectiveness Factor for Immobilized Enzyme Catalysts through a Simple Conversion Assay. Catalysts 2019.

Abstract
A novel methodology to estimate the effectiveness factor (EF) of an immobilized enzyme catalyst is proposed here. The methodology consists of the determination of the productivity of both the immobilized enzyme catalyst and its corresponding soluble enzyme, plotted as a function of the reaction conversion. The ratio of these productivities corresponds to the EF estimator of the catalyst. Conversion curves were simulated in a batch reactor with immobilized enzyme and soluble enzyme for different values of the S0/KM ratio and Thiele modulus (Φ) to demonstrate this hypothesis. Two different reaction orders were tested: first-order kinetic and Michaelis–Menten-based kinetic with product inhibition. The results showed that the ratio of productivities between the immobilized and soluble enzymes followed the behavior profile presented by the EF with satisfactory agreement. This simple methodology to estimate the EF is based on routine conversion experiments, thus avoiding the exhaustive kinetic and mass transfer characterization of the immobilized enzyme catalyst.

Abstract
Here we demonstrate that protein enzymes captured in the solvent channels of three-dimensional DNA crystals are catalytically active. Using RNase A as a model enzyme system, we show that crystals infused with enzyme can cleave a dinucleotide substrate with similar kinetic restrictions as other immobilized enzyme systems. This new vehicle for immobilized enzymes, created entirely from biomolecules, opens possibilities for developing modular solid-state catalysts that could be both biocompatible and biodegradable.
