Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles with increasing superparamagnetism and magnetic targeting have found widespread application in fields such as food and medicine. In this study, polycarboxylated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH) were prepared by surface functionalizing iron tetraoxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a modifier. The appropriate degree of functionalization modification was obtained by adjusting the EDTA concentration and the ratio of cross-linking agents. The prepared magnetic nanoparticles were analyzed with structural and property characterization. The results showed that the Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH magnetic nanoparticles prepared with 4 % EDTA and cross-linking agents at a molar ratio of 3:4 were uniform in particle size, with an average size of roughly 7 nm, and possessed an abundant carboxylate content (310.8064 μmol/g) and a high magnetization intensity (35.05 emu/g). As a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was immobilized on the surface of magnetic particles. The largest amount of immobilized protein was 500.4376 mg BSA/g at pH 4.0 and no extra salt ions. According to molecular docking simulations, its immobilization was due to the interaction of amino and carboxyl groups at the Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH/BSA interface. Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH possesses a large number of carboxyl groups, strong protein immobilization, and magnetic responsiveness, which may have potential applications in biomedical and food fields.

Innovative biocatalyst synthesis of pectinolytic enzymes by cross-linking strategy: Potentially immobilised pectinases for the production of pectic-oligosaccharides from pectin. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128260. [PMID: 38000618 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Pectinases are outstanding multienzymes, which have the potential to produce new emerging pectic-oligosaccharides (POS) via enzymatic hydrolysis of pectin. However, free pectinase is unable to undergo repeated reaction for the production of POS. This study proposed a sustainable biocatalyst of pectinases known as cross-linked pectinase aggregates (CLPA). Pectinase from Aspergillus aculeatus was successfully precipitated using 2 mg/mL pectinase and 60 % acetone for 20 min at 20 °C, which remained 36.3 % of its initial activity. The prepared CLPA showed the highest activity recovery (85.0 %), under the optimised conditions (0.3 % (v/v) starch and glutaraldehyde mixture (St/Ga), 1.5: 1 of St/Ga, 25 °C, 1.5 h). Furthermore, pectin-degrading enzymes from various sources were used to produce different CLPA. The alteration of pectinase secondary structure gave high stability in acidic condition (pH 4), thermostability, deactivation energy and half-life, and improved storage stability at 4 °C for 30 days. Similarly to their free counterpart, the CLPA exhibited comparable enzymatic reaction kinetics and could be reused eight times with approximately 20 % of its initial activity. The developed CLPA does not only efficaciously produced POS from pectin as their free form, but also exhibited better operational stability and reusability, making it more suitable for POS production.

Synthesis of magnetically recyclable porous cross-linked aggregates of Tramates versicolor MTCC 138 laccase for the efficient removal of pentachlorophenol from aqueous solution. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 229:115899. [PMID: 37076027 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to synthesize the magnetically separable highly active porous immobilized laccase for the removal of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in an aqueous solution. Magnetic porous cross-linked enzyme aggregates (Mp-CLEAs) of laccase were synthesized using 1% starch solution with 5 mM glutaraldehyde followed by 10 h of cross-linking time with an activity recovery of 90.85 ± 0.2%. The biocatalytic efficiency of magnetic porous CLEAs (Mp-CLEAs) was 2-fold higher than that of magnetic CLEAs. The synthesized Mp-CLEAs were mechanically stable with enhanced catalytic efficiency, and reusability thus overcoming the mass transfer limitations and enzyme loss. At 40 °C, the thermal stability of the magnetic porous immobilized laccase was improved, with a 602 min half-life compared to 207 min half-life for the free enzyme. Using 40 U/mL of laccase for the removal of 100 ppm of PCP, M-CLEAs, and Mp-CLEAs removed 60.44% and 65.53% of PCP, respectively. Furthermore, to enhance PCP removal, a laccase-aided system was harnessed by optimizing various surfactants and mediators. Of these, 0.1 mM of rhamnolipid and 2,3 dimethoxy phenol had the highest PCP removal rates of 95.12% and 99.41%, respectively, for Mp-CLEAs. This study demonstrates the efficacy of the laccase-surfactant-mediator system for the removal of PCP from the aqueous solution, which can also be proposed for real-time application.

Abstract
Icaritin is a rare and high-value isopentane flavonoid compound with remarkable activities. Increasing yields while reducing cost has been a great challenge in icaritin production. Herein, we first reported a high titer icaritin biosynthesis strategy from epimedin C through co-immobilizing α-l-rhamnosidase (Rha1) and β-glucosidase (Glu4) using cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). The created CLEAs exhibited excellent performances in terms of catalytic activity, thermal stability, pH stability, and reusability. Notably, Rha1-CLEAs (Ki: 1 M) and Glu4-CLEAs (Ki: 0.1 M) were more tolerant to sugars (glucose or rhamnose) than free enzymes (0.1 M for Rha1 and 0.007 M for Glu4) by immobilization, achieving the highest icaritin productivity under the highest substrate concentration ever reported. Finally, about 34.24 g/L icaritin could be obtained from 100 g/L epimedin C within 8 h, indicating the great potential for industrialization. This study also provides a promising strategy for the low-cost production of other high-value aglycone compounds by solving poor stability and sugar inhibition of glycosidase.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid nano-materials have been considered to be promising immobilization matrixes for enzymes due to their significantly enhanced reusability and stability of enzymes. Herein, we constructed a novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflower via biomacromolecule-regulated biomimetic mineralization to immobilize sucrose phosphorylase (SPase). It was found that chitosan (CS) effectively regulated the biomimetic mineralization of calcium phosphate (CaP), leading to the formation of flower-like hybrid materials for the entrapment of SPase via self-assembly to establish a nano-biocatalyst (CS-CaP@SPase). Upon immobilization, the obtained CS-CaP@SPase exhibited excellent pH, by-product and organic solvents tolerance, and storage stability. Specifically, at acidic condition (pH 4), CS-CaP@SPase performed over 80 % of initial activity, which was 2.42-folds higher than that of free SPase. The catalytic activity of free SPase was severely inhibited about 30 % in the presence of fructose (1.2 M), but CS-CaP@SPase only lost 5 % relative activity. The CS-CaP@SPase retained over 80 % of its relative activity, while the free SPase maintained <20 % of its relative activity in acetonitrile. The relative activity of CS-CaP@SPase was still retained about 80 % after 10 cycles and maintained 75 % after 15 days. Based on Raman spectra analysis, it was also found that the increased β-folding component of SPase in the secondary structure after immobilization was the main factor for its enhanced stability. It is reasonable to believe that biomacromolecule-regulated biomimetic mineralization could be potentially used as a promising method to immobilize enzymes with excellent stability and recyclability, thereby facilitating the preparation of highly efficient catalysts for industrial biocatalysts, biosensing, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization has been developing since the 1960s and although many industrial biocatalytic processes use the technology to improve enzyme performance, still today we are far from full exploitation of the field. One clear reason is that many evaluate immobilization based on only a few experiments that are not always well-designed. In contrast to many other reviews on the subject, here we highlight the pitfalls of using incorrectly designed immobilization protocols and explain why in many cases sub-optimal results are obtained. We also describe solutions to overcome these challenges and come to the conclusion that recent developments in material science, bioprocess engineering and protein science continue to open new opportunities for the future. In this way, enzyme immobilization, far from being a mature discipline, remains as a subject of high interest and where intense research is still necessary to take full advantage of the possibilities.

Abstract
Enzymes are outstanding (bio)catalysts, not solely on account of their ability to increase reaction rates by up to several orders of magnitude but also for the high degree of substrate specificity, regiospecificity and stereospecificity. The use and development of enzymes as robust biocatalysts is one of the main challenges in biotechnology. However, despite the high specificities and turnover of enzymes, there are also drawbacks. At the industrial level, these drawbacks are typically overcome by resorting to immobilized enzymes to enhance stability. Immobilization of biocatalysts allows their reuse, increases stability, facilitates process control, eases product recovery, and enhances product yield and quality. This is especially important for expensive enzymes, for those obtained in low fermentation yield and with relatively low activity. This review provides an integrated perspective on (multi)enzyme immobilization that abridges a critical evaluation of immobilization methods and carriers, biocatalyst metrics, impact of key carrier features on biocatalyst performance, trends towards miniaturization and detailed illustrative examples that are representative of biocatalytic applications promoting sustainability.
