Tuning almond lipase features by the buffer used during immobilization: The apparent biocatalysts stability depends on the immobilization and inactivation buffers and the substrate utilized. J Biotechnol 2024; 391:72-80. [PMID: 38876311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2024.06.009] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
The lipase from Prunus dulcis almonds was inactivated under different conditions. At pH 5 and 9, enzyme stability remained similar under the different studied buffers. However, when the inactivation was performed at pH 7, there were some clear differences on enzyme stability depending on the buffer used. The enzyme was more stable in Gly than when Tris was employed for inactivation. Then, the enzyme was immobilized on methacrylate beads coated with octadecyl groups at pH 7 in the presence of Gly, Tris, phosphate and HEPES. Its activity was assayed versus triacetin and S-methyl mandelate. The biocatalyst prepared in phosphate was more active versus S-methyl mandelate, while the other ones were more active versus triacetin. The immobilized enzyme stability at pH 7 depends on the buffer used for enzyme immobilization. The buffer used in the inactivation and the substrate used determined the activity. For example, glycine was the buffer that promoted the lowest or the highest stabilities depending on the substrate used to quantify the activities.

Abstract
Biocatalytic membranes combine the separation properties of membranes and the catalytic abilities of enzymes, holding great promise for industries where both purification and conversion are required. In this work, polyelectrolyte complex membranes incorporated with lysozyme were prepared using polyethyleneimine (PEI) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) through a one-step and mild pH shift aqueous phase separation (APS) approach. The effects of lysozyme addition and casting solution pH on the membrane properties were studied. All the membranes, both with and without added lysozyme, exhibited asymmetric structures with relatively dense top surfaces and porous cross-sections with finger-like macrovoids. The incorporation of lysozyme did not significantly influence the structure and permeability of the formed membranes. The PEI-PSS biocatalytic membranes exhibited temperature dependent enzymatic activity. The activity strongly increased with increased operational temperature, with the highest activity of 4.30 ± 0.15 U cm-2 at 45 °C. This indicates a responsive effect, where a higher temperature leads to some swelling of the polyelectrolyte complex membrane, making the enzyme more accessible to the used substrate. Moreover, the biocatalytic membranes demonstrate desirable enzymatic stability, maintaining 60% activity even after 60 days of storage. This study validates the potential of the water-based APS process as a straightforward approach for integrating enzymes into responsive biocatalytic membranes.

Abstract
This review shows the endeavors performed to prepare immobilized formulations of bromelain extract, usually from pineapple, and their use in diverse applications. This extract has a potent proteolytic component that is based on thiol proteases, which differ depending on the location on the fruit. Stem and fruit are the areas where higher activity is found. The edible origin of this enzyme is one of the features that determines the applications of the immobilized bromelain to a more significant degree. The enzyme has been immobilized on a wide diversity of supports via different strategies (covalent bonds, ion exchange), and also forming ex novo solids (nanoflowers, CLEAs, trapping in alginate beads, etc.). The use of preexisting nanoparticles as immobilization supports is relevant, as this facilitates one of the main applications of the immobilized enzyme, in therapeutic applications (as wound dressing and healing components, antibacterial or anticancer, mucus mobility control, etc.). A curiosity is the immobilization of this enzyme on spores of probiotic microorganisms via adsorption, in order to have a perfect in vivo compatibility. Other outstanding applications of the immobilized enzyme are in the stabilization of wine versus haze during storage, mainly when immobilized on chitosan. Curiously, the immobilized bromelain has been scarcely applied in the production of bioactive peptides.

Abstract
Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are heralded as a paradigm of sustainable materials for photonics/optoelectronics. However, their stabilization under non-physiological environments and/or harsh operation conditions is the major challenge. Among the FP-stabilization methods, classical sol-gel is the most effective, but less versatile, as most of the proteins/enzymes are easily degraded due to the need of multi-step processes, surfactants, and mixed water/organic solvents in extreme pH. Herein, sol-gel chemistry with archetypal FPs (mGreenLantern; mCherry) is revisited, simplifying the method by one-pot, surfactant-free, and aqueous media (phosphate buffer saline pH = 7.4). The synthesis mechanism involves the direct reaction of the carboxylic groups at the FP surface with the silica precursor, generating a positively charged FP intermediate that acts as a seed for the formation of size-controlled mesoporous FP@SiO2 nanoparticles. Green-/red-emissive (single-FP component) and dual-emissive (multi-FPs component; kinetic studies not required) FP@SiO2 are prepared without affecting the FP photoluminescence and stabilities (>6 months) under dry storage and organic solvent suspensions. Finally, FP@SiO2 color filters are applied to rainbow and white bio-hybrid light-emitting diodes featuring up to 15-fold enhanced stabilities without reducing luminous efficacy compared to references with native FPs. Overall, an easy, versatile, and effective FP-stabilization method is demonstrated in FP@SiO2 toward sustainable protein lighting.

Abstract
There have been significant advances in the formulation and stabilization of proteins in the liquid state over the past years since our previous review. Our mechanistic understanding of protein-excipient interactions has increased, allowing one to develop formulations in a more rational fashion. The field has moved towards more complex and challenging formulations, such as high concentration formulations to allow for subcutaneous administration and co-formulation. While much of the published work has focused on mAbs, the principles appear to apply to any therapeutic protein, although mAbs clearly have some distinctive features. In this review, we first discuss chemical degradation reactions. This is followed by a section on physical instability issues. Then, more specific topics are addressed: instability induced by interactions with interfaces, predictive methods for physical stability and interplay between chemical and physical instability. The final parts are devoted to discussions how all the above impacts (co-)formulation strategies, in particular for high protein concentration solutions.'

Abstract
Enzymes are biological catalysts with good biocompatibility and high efficiency and have been widely used in many fields, such as wastewater treatment, biosensors, and the medical industry. However, their inherently low stability under conditions of practical use limits further applications. Zwitterionic polymers possessing a pair of oppositely charged groups in their repeating units can increase protein stability because of their good biocompatibility and high water content. In this study, zwitterionic copolymer nanogels comprising poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)-co-methacrylic acid-N-hydroxy succinimide ester (MNHS)) (PMS) were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT). β-Galactosidase (β-gal) was post-modified within zwitterionic polymer nanogels with a covalently-bound spacer and the activity was compared with that of directly immobilized β-gal and free β-gal. Compared with direct immobilization, covalent immobilization with a spacer could reduce the structural change of β-gal, as confirmed by the circular dichroism spectra. Although the activity of β-gal decreased after immobilization, the hybrids of the β-gal immobilized nanogels, termed hybrid nanogel-enzymes, demonstrated superior stability compared to the free enzymes. The hybrid nanogel-enzymes maintained their function against inactivation by organic solvents and proteinases owing to their high water content, anti-biofouling properties, and limited mass transfer. They can also withstand protein aggregation at high temperatures and maintain their activity. Compared to direct immobilization, immobilization with a spacer resulted in a dramatic increase in the enzyme activity and a slight decrease in the stability. These results indicate that polymer nanogels containing phosphorylcholine units are promising materials for enzyme immobilization, expanding the scope of enzyme applications.

Abstract
Sustainable biocatalysis syntheses have gained considerable popularity over the years. However, further optimizations - notably to reduce costs - are required if the methods are to be successfully deployed in a range of areas. As part of this drive, various enzyme immobilization strategies have been studied, alongside process intensification from batch to continuous production. The flow bioreactor portfolio mainly ranges between packed bed reactors and wall-immobilized enzyme miniaturized reactors. Because of their simplicity, packed bed reactors are the most frequently encountered at lab-scale. However, at industrial scale, the growing pressure drop induced by the increase in equipment size hampers their implementation for some applications. Wall-immobilized miniaturized reactors require less pumping power, but a new problem arises due to their reduced enzyme-loading capacity. This review starts with a presentation of the current technology portfolio and a reminder of the metrics to be applied with flow bioreactors. Then, a benchmarking of the most recent relevant works is presented. The scale-up perspectives of the various options are presented in detail, highlighting key features of industrial requirements. One of the main objectives of this review is to clarify the strategies on which future study should center to maximize the performance of wall-immobilized enzyme reactors.

Abstract
The textile industry discharges up to 5 % of their dyes in aqueous effluents. Here, use of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) of commercial white button mushroom production and its aqueous extract, SMS tea, was assessed to remove textile dyes from water. A total of 30-90 % and 5-85 % of the dyes was removed after a 24 h incubation in SMS and SMS tea, respectively. Removal of malachite green and remazol brilliant blue R was similar in SMS and its tea. In contrast, removal of crystal violet, orange G, and rose bengal was higher in SMS, explained by sorption to SMS and by the role of non-water-extractable SMS components in discoloration. Heat-treating SMS and its tea, thereby inactivating enzymes, reduced dye removal to 8-58 % and 0-31 %, respectively, indicating that dyes are removed by both enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities. Together, SMS of white button mushroom production has high potential to treat textile-dye-polluted aqueous effluents.

Abstract
The issue of poor solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) has been a salient area of investigation and novel drug delivery systems are being developed to improve the solubility of drugs, enhance their permeability and thereby their efficacy. Several techniques for solubilization enhancement of poorly soluble drugs are often employed at various stages of pharmaceutical drug product development. One such delivery system is the therapeutic deep eutectic system (THEDES), which showed great potential in the enhancement of solubility and permeability of drugs and ultimately augmenting their bioavailability. THEDES are made by mixing drugs with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in a definite molar ratio by the hit and trial method. The DESs are a new class of green solvents which are non-toxic, cheap, easy to prepare, biodegradable and have multiple applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The terminologies such as ionic liquids (ILs), DES, THEDES, and therapeutic liquid eutectic systems (THELES) have been very much in use recently, and it is important to highlight the pharmaceutical applications of these unexplored reservoirs in drug solubilization enhancement, drug delivery routes, and in the management of various diseases. This review is aimed at discussing the components, formulation strategies, and routes of administration of THEDES that are used in developing the formulation. Also, the major pharmaceutical applications of THEDES in the treatment of various metabolic and non-metabolic diseases are reviewed.

Abstract
Protein@metal-organic frameworks (P@MOFs) prepared by coprecipitation of protein, metal ions, and organic ligands represent an effective method for protein stabilization with a wide spectrum of applications. However, the formation mechanism of P@MOFs via the coprecipitation process and the reason why proteins can retain their biological activity in the frameworks with highly concentrated metal ions remain unsettled. Here, by a combined methodology of single molecule localization microscopy and clustering analysis, we discovered that in this process enzyme molecules form clusters with metal ions and organic ligands, contributing to both the nucleation and subsequent crystal growth. We proposed that the clusters played an important role in the retention of overall enzymatic activity by sacrificing protein molecules on the cluster surface. This work offers fresh perspectives on protein behaviors in the formation of P@MOFs, inspiring future endeavors in the design and development of artificial bionanocomposites with high biological activities.

Abstract
Hybrid ionic fluids (HIFs) are one of the emerging and fascinating sustainable solvent media, a novel environment-friendly solvent for biomolecules. The HIFs have been synthesized by combining a deep eutectic solvent (DES), an ionic liquid (IL) having a common ion. The stability and activity of hen's egg white lysozyme (Lyz) in the presence of a recently designed new class of biocompatible solvents, HIFs have been explored by UV-visible, steady-state fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) along with dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. This work emphasizes the effect of DES synthesized by using 1:2 choline chloride and glycerol [Glyn], ILs (1-butly-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM]Cl and choline acetate [Chn][Ac]) and their corresponding HIFs on the structure and functionality of Lyz. Moving forward, we also studied the secondary structure, thermal stability and enzymatic activity and thermodynamic profile of Lyz at pH = 7 in the presence of varying concentrations (0.1 to 0.5) M of [BMIM]Cl, [Chn][Ac] ILs, [Glyn] DES and [Glyn][BMIM]Cl (hybrid ionic fluid1) as well as [Glyn][Chn][Ac] (hybrid ionic fluid2). Spectroscopic results elucidate that ILs affect the activity and structural stability of Lyz, whereas the stability and activity are increased by DES and are maintained by HIFs at all the studied concentrations. Overall, the experimental results studied elucidate expressly that the properties of Lyz are maintained in the presence of hybrid ionic fluid1 while these properties are intensified in hybrid ionic fluid2. This work has elucidated expressly biocompatible green solvents in protein stability and functionality due to the alluring properties of DES, which can counteract the negative effect of ILs in HIFs.

J Chromatogr A 2024; 1722:464902. [PMID: 38636150 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Although immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) is one of the most effective methods for purifying his-tagged proteins, it has limitations such as expensive commercial resins and non-specific binding of unwanted proteins to the nickel immobilized on the resin. In this study, biocompatible chitosan and porous chitosan membranes as alternative resins were synthesized for protein immobilization and purification, but finally porous chitosan membrane was selected due to its higher porosity and consequently higher nickel adsorption. Once the membrane was functionalized with nickel ions and its metal adsorption confirmed by EDS and ICP methods, it was used to immobilize and purify recombinant β-NGF as a protein model with his-tag tail in batch-fashion. Protein binding and purification were also approved by FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and SDS-PAGE technique. Our results indicated that the protein of interest could bind to the nickel-functionalized porous chitosan membrane with high efficiency at pH=7. Furthermore, for protein purification, the pH value of 6 and an imidazole concentration of 750 mM were suggested for the final elution buffer. In conclusion, nickel-functionalized porous chitosan membrane could be a suitable alternative to IMAC for low cost and specific protein immobilization and purification.

Abstract
Chemical modifications of enzymes excel in the realm of enzyme engineering due to its directness, robustness, and efficiency; however, challenges persist in devising versatile and effective strategies. In this study, we introduce a supramolecular modification methodology that amalgamates a supramolecular polymer with Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) to create supramolecular enzymes (SupEnzyme). This approach features the straightforward preparation of a supramolecular amphiphilic polymer (β-CD@SMA), which was subsequently conjugated to the enzyme, resulting in a SupEnzyme capable of self-assembly into supramolecular nanoparticles. The resulting SupEnzyme nanoparticles can form micron-scale supramolecular aggregates through supramolecular and electrostatic interactions with guest entities, thus enhancing catalyst recycling. Remarkably, these aggregates maintain 80 % activity after seven cycles, outperforming Novozym 435. Additionally, they can effectively initiate photobiocatalytic cascade reactions using guest photocatalysts. As a consequence, our SupEnzyme methodology exhibits noteworthy adaptability in enzyme modification, presenting a versatile platform for various polymer, enzyme, and biocompatible catalyst pairings, with potential applications in the fields of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Pepsin is one of the major enzymes with significant importance in the food industry, biomedicines, and pharmaceutical formulations. In this work, the main objective was to biochemically characterize a pepsin-like enzymatic extract obtained from Pygocentrus nattereri, a predatory freshwater fish, focusing on their potential industrial application. The obtained extract exhibited optimal activity at 45 °C and pH 1.0-2.0. These proteases remained stable after 2 h of incubation at temperatures ranging from 0° to 45 °C and within pH range of 1.0 to 7.0. Their activity was significantly affected in presence of pepstatin A and SDS, 10 μM and 3.46 mM respectively, while EDTA and PMSF showed partial inhibitory effects. Divalent cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+) did not inhibit the proteolytic activity of the extract; in fact, it improved at a 5 mM CaCl2 concentration. As the NaCl concentration increased, the enzyme activity decreased. However, after desalination, 90 % of the activity was recovered within the tested exposure time. Besides, this extract demonstrated exceptional versatility across diverse industrial applications, including collagen extraction augmentation, IgG hydrolysis facilitation, and silver and polyester recovery from X-ray films. Our results suggest that the obtained enzymatic extract has a wide range of potential applications.

Abstract
A novel protease inhibitor isolated from date palm Phoenix dactylifera(L.) flowers (PIDF) was purified and characterized. A heat and acidic treatment step followed by ethanol precipitation and reverse-phase high-performance chromatography was applied to purify this natural protease inhibitor to homogeneity with a single band of about 19 kDa. The stability study depicted that PIDF was fully stable at 40 °C and retained 65% of its initial activity after heating at 50 °C for 24 h. Its thermal stability at 70 °C was markedly enhanced by adding calcium, bovine serum albumin, and sorbitol as well as by metal divalent cations, especially Mg2+ and Hg2+. This protease inhibitor showed high inhibitory activity against therapeutic proteases, including pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and collagenase, and acted as a potent inhibitor of some commercial microbial proteases from Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus. sp, and Bacillus licheniformis. Moreover, a potent antibacterial spectrum against Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacterial strains and an efficient antifungal effect were observed. Its cytotoxicity toward human colorectal cancer cell LoVo and HCT-116 lines suggested that PIDF could serve as a new therapeutic target inhibiting human colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Biopharmaceuticals have allowed the control of previously untreatable diseases. However, their low solubility and stability still hinder their application, transport, and storage. Hence, researchers have applied different compounds to preserve and enhance the delivery of biopharmaceuticals, such as ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Although the biopharmaceutical industry can employ various substances for enhancing formulations, their effect will change depending on the properties of the target biomolecule and environmental conditions. Hence, this review organized the current state-of-the-art on the application of ILs and DESs to stabilize biopharmaceuticals, considering the properties of the biomolecules, ILs, and DESs classes, concentration range, types of stability, and effect. We also provided a critical discussion regarding the potential utilization of ILs and DESs in pharmaceutical formulations, considering the restrictions in this field, as well as the advantages and drawbacks of these substances for medical applications. Overall, the most applied IL and DES classes for stabilizing biopharmaceuticals were cholinium-, imidazolium-, and ammonium-based, with cholinium ILs also employed to improve their delivery. Interestingly, dilute and concentrated ILs and DESs solutions presented similar results regarding the stabilization of biopharmaceuticals. With additional investigation, ILs and DESs have the potential to overcome current challenges in biopharmaceutical formulation.

Abstract
Asparaginase holds significant commercial value as an enzyme in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This study examined the optimum and practical use of the l-asparaginase derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa HR03. Specifically, the study focused on the effectiveness of the stabilized enzyme when applied to chitosan nanoparticles. The structure, size, and morphology of chitosan nanoparticles were evaluated in relation to the immobilization procedure. This assessment involved the use of several analytical techniques, including FT-IR, DLS, SEM, TEM, and EDS analysis. Subsequently, the durability of the enzyme that has been stabilized was assessed by evaluating its effectiveness under extreme temperatures of 60 and 70 °C, as well as at pH values of 3 and 12. The findings indicate that incorporating chitosan nanoparticles led to enhanced immobilization of the l-asparaginase enzyme. This improvement was observed in terms of long-term stability, stability under crucial temperature and pH conditions, as well as thermal stability. In addition, the optimum temperature increased from 40 to 50 °C, and the optimum pH increased from 8 to 9. Enzyme immobilization led to an increase in Km and a decrease in kcat compared to its free counterpart. Because of its enhanced long-term stability, l-asparaginase immobilization on chitosan nanoparticles may be a potential choice for use in industries that rely on l-asparaginase enzymes, particularly the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
Unstructured biological macromolecules have attracted attention as protein aggregation inhibitors in living cells. Some are characterized by their free structural configuration, highly charged, and water-soluble. However, the importance of these properties in inhibiting protein aggregation remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of charged poly (amino acids), which mimic these properties, on aggregation of l-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and compared their effects to monomeric amino acids and folded proteins. LDH was stable and active at a neutral pH (~7) but formed inactive aggregates at acidic pH (< 6). Adding cationic polyelectrolytes of poly-l-lysine and poly-l-arginine suppressed the acid-induced aggregation and inactivation of LDH under acidic pH values. Adding monomeric amino acids and cationic folded proteins also prevented LDH aggregation but with lower efficacy than cationic polyelectrolytes. These results indicate that unstructured polyelectrolytes effectively stabilize unstable enzymes because they interact flexibly and multivalently with them. Our findings provide a simple method for stabilizing enzymes under unstable conditions.

Abstract
β-glucosidase is an essential enzyme for the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, as it catalyzes the final stage of cellulose breakdown, releasing glucose. This paper aims to produce β-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and evaluate the enzymatic degradation of delignified sugarcane bagasse. S. cerevisiae was grown in yeast peptone dextrose medium. Partial purification of the enzyme was achieved through precipitating proteins with ethanol, and the optimal activity was measured by optimizing pH and temperature. The effects of ions, glucose tolerance, and heat treatment were evaluated. Delignified sugarcane bagasse was hydrolyzed by the enzyme. β-glucosidase showed a specific activity of 14.0712 ± 0.0207 U mg-1. Partial purification showed 1.22-fold purification. The optimum pH and temperature were 6.24 and 54 °C, respectively. β-glucosidase showed tolerance to glucose, with a relative activity of 71.27 ± 0.16%. Thermostability showed a relative activity of 58.84 ± 0.91% at 90 °C. The hydrolysis of delignified sugarcane bagasse showed a conversion rate of 87.97 ± 0.10% in the presence of Zn2+, an ion that promoted the highest increase in enzymatic activity. S. cerevisiae produced an extracellular β-glucosidase with good stability at pH and temperatures conventionally applied in the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, showing viability for industrial application.

Abstract
Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, such as enthalpy, entropy, and free energy, are crucial in evaluating enzyme stability and activity. These parameters, including the free energy of activation (ΔG#) and the Gibbs free energy of inactivation (ΔG*), are important for predicting energy requirements and reaction rates. However, relying solely on these parameters is insufficient in selecting an enzyme for industrial processes. Numerous studies have explored the measurement of thermodynamic parameters for proteases. Unfortunately, some of the definitions and calculations of key parameters such as ΔG#, ΔG*, and substrate-binding free energy have contained significant errors. In this study, these mistakes have been addressed and corrected. Additionally, a new parameter called δ, defined as the difference between ΔG* and ΔG#, has been introduced for the first time. It is argued that δ provides a more reliable measure for predicting the potential industrial application of enzymes. The highest calculated value for δ was found to be 39.6 kJ·mol-1 at 55 °C. Furthermore, this study also presents a comprehensive collection and determination of all thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for proteases, providing researchers and professionals in the field with a valuable resource to compare and understand the relationships between these parameters and the industrial potential of enzymes.

Abstract
Conventional techniques for enzyme immobilization suffer from suboptimal activity recovery due to insufficient enzyme loading and inadequate stability. Furthermore, these techniques are time-consuming and involve multiple steps which limit the applicability of immobilized enzymes. In contrast, the use of microfluidic devices for enzyme immobilization has garnered significant attention due to its ability to precisely control immobilization parameters, resulting in highly active immobilized enzymes. This approach offers several advantages, including reduced time and energy consumption, enhanced mass-heat transfer, and improved control over the mixing process. It maintains the superior structural configuration in immobilized form which ultimately affects the overall efficiency. The present review article comprehensively explains the design, construction, and various methods employed for enzyme immobilization using microfluidic devices. The immobilized enzymes prepared using these techniques demonstrated excellent catalytic activity, remarkable stability, and outstanding recyclability. Moreover, they have found applications in diverse areas such as biosensors, biotransformation, and bioremediation. The review article also discusses potential future developments and foresees significant challenges associated with enzyme immobilization using microfluidics, along with potential remedies. The development of this advanced technology not only paves the way for novel and innovative approaches to enzyme immobilization but also allows for the straightforward scalability of microfluidic-based techniques from an industrial standpoint.

Abstract
The first examples of a practical procedure for a lipase-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution of PEGylated N-alkyl amino esters is reported. This method allows for the preparation of a broad range of aromatic and aliphatic enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl unnatural amino acids in up to 98% yield and 99% ee. We have found that PEGylated esters have a significant solubility advantage and improved reactivity over traditional hydrophobic lipase substrates, thereby allowing for efficient and scalable dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) under aqueous conditions.

[PMID: 37739542 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Cellulase-mediated lignocellulosic biorefinery plays a crucial role in the production of high-value biofuels and chemicals, with enzymatic hydrolysis being an essential component. The advent of cellulase immobilization has revolutionized this process, significantly enhancing the efficiency, stability, and reusability of cellulase enzymes. This review offers a thorough analysis of the fundamental principles underlying immobilization, encompassing various immobilization approaches such as physical adsorption, covalent binding, entrapment, and cross-linking. Furthermore, it explores a diverse range of carrier materials, including inorganic, organic, and hybrid/composite materials. The review also focuses on emerging approaches like multi-enzyme co-immobilization, oriented immobilization, immobilized enzyme microreactors, and enzyme engineering for immobilization. Additionally, it delves into novel carrier technologies like 3D printing carriers, stimuli-responsive carriers, artificial cellulosomes, and biomimetic carriers. Moreover, the review addresses recent obstacles in cellulase immobilization, including molecular-level immobilization mechanism, diffusion limitations, loss of cellulase activity, cellulase leaching, and considerations of cost-effectiveness and scalability. The knowledge derived from this review is anticipated to catalyze the evolution of more efficient and sustainable biocatalytic systems for lignocellulosic biomass conversion, representing the current state-of-the-art in cellulase immobilization techniques.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15950. [PMID: 37958933 PMCID: PMC10648325 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242115950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The thermostable protease TTHA0724 derived from Thermus thermophilus HB8 is an ideal industrial washing enzyme due to its thermophilic characteristics; although it can be expressed in Escherichia coli via pET-22b, high yields are difficult to achieve, leading to frequent autolysis of the host. This paper details the development of a signal peptide library in the expression system of B. subtilis and the optimization of signal peptides for enhanced extracellular expression of TTHA0724. When B. subtilis was used as the host and the optimized signal peptide was used, the expression level of TTHA0724 was 16.7 times higher compared with E. coli. B. subtilis as an expression host does not change the characteristics of TTHA0724. The potential application fields of TTHA0724 are studied. TTHA0724 can be used as a detergent additive at 60 °C, which can sterilize and eliminate mites while thoroughly cleaning protein stains. Soybean meal enzymatic hydrolysis with TTHA0724 at a high temperature produced a higher content of antioxidant peptides. These results indicate that TTHA0724 has great potential for industrial applications.

Abstract
CDP-glycerol is a nucleotide-diphosphate-activated version of glycerol. In nature, it is required for the biosynthesis of teichoic acid in Gram-positive bacteria, which is an appealing target epitope for the development of new vaccines. Here, a cell-free multi-enzyme cascade was developed to synthetize nucleotide-activated glycerol from the inexpensive and readily available substrates cytidine and glycerol. The cascade comprises five recombinant enzymes expressed in Escherichia coli that were purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. As part of the cascade, ATP is regenerated in situ from polyphosphate to reduce synthesis costs. The enzymatic cascade was characterized at the laboratory scale, and the products were analyzed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC)-UV and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). After the successful synthesis had been confirmed, a design-of-experiments approach was used to screen for optimal operation conditions (temperature, pH value and MgCl2 concentration). Overall, a substrate conversion of 89 % was achieved with respect to the substrate cytidine.

Abstract
Immobilized lipase is a green and sustainable catalyst for hydrolysis of acidified oil. Glutaraldehyde is widely used for lipase immobilization while the appropriate strategy optimizes the catalytic performance of lipase. In this research, lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) was immobilized on spherical silica (SiO2) by glutaraldehyde multipoint covalent treatments, including covalent binding method and adsorption-crosslinking method. The enzymatic stability properties and performance in hydrolysis of refined oil and acidified oil were studied. We confirmed that the residual activity decreased while the stability increased because of the influence on secondary structure of lipase after multipoint covalent treatments. In the comparison of different immobilization strategies in multipoint covalent treatment, SiO2-CRL (covalent binding method) showed lower loading capacity than SiO2-CRL (adsorption-crosslinking method), resulting in low activity. However, SiO2-CRL (covalent binding method) showed better reusability and stability. Immobilized lipase via covalent binding method was more potential in the application of catalytic hydrolysis of acidified oils.

Production of Phenylacetylcarbinol via Biotransformation Using the Co-Culture of Candida tropicalis TISTR 5306 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae TISTR 5606 as the Biocatalyst. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:928. [PMID: 37755036 PMCID: PMC10533076 DOI: 10.3390/jof9090928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) is a precursor for the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals, including ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and norephedrine. PAC is commonly produced through biotransformation using microbial pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) in the form of frozen-thawed whole cells. However, the lack of microorganisms capable of high PDC activity is the main factor in the production of PAC. In addition, researchers are also looking for ways to utilize agro-industrial residues as an inexpensive carbon source through an integrated biorefinery approach in which sugars can be utilized for bioethanol production and frozen-thawed whole cells for PAC synthesis. In the present study, Candida tropicalis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the co-culture of both strains were compared for their biomass and ethanol concentrations, as well as for their volumetric and specific PDC activities when cultivated in a sugarcane bagasse (SCB) hydrolysate medium (SCBHM). The co-culture that resulted in a higher level of PAC (8.65 ± 0.08 mM) with 26.4 ± 0.9 g L-1 ethanol production was chosen for further experiments. Biomass production was scaled up to 100 L and the kinetic parameters were studied. The biomass harvested from the bioreactor was utilized as frozen-thawed whole cells for the selection of an initial pyruvate (Pyr)-to-benzaldehyde (Bz) concentration ([Pyr]/[Bz]) ratio suitable for the PAC biotransformation in a single-phase emulsion system. The initial [Pyr]/[Bz] at 100/120 mM resulted in higher PAC levels with 10.5 ± 0.2 mM when compared to 200/240 mM (8.60 ± 0.01 mM). A subsequent two-phase emulsion system with Pyr in the aqueous phase, Bz in the organic phase, and frozen-thawed whole cells of the co-culture as the biocatalyst produced a 1.46-fold higher PAC level when compared to a single-phase emulsion system. In addition, the cost analysis strategy indicated preliminary costs of USD 0.82 and 1.01/kg PAC for the single-phase and two-phase emulsion systems, respectively. The results of the present study suggested that the co-culture of C. tropicalis and S. cerevisiae can effectively produce bioethanol and PAC from SCB and would decrease the overall production cost on an industrial scale utilizing the two-phase emulsion system with the proposed multiple-pass strategy.

Functional Characterization and Anti-Tumor Effect of a Novel Group II Secreted Phospholipase A 2 from Snake Venom of Saudi Cerastes cerates gasperetti. Molecules 2023; 28:6517.

Abstract
Secreted phospholipases A2 are snake-venom proteins with many biological activities, notably anti-tumor activity. Phospholipases from the same snake type but different geographical locations have shown similar biochemical and biological activities with minor differences in protein sequences. Thus, the discovery of a new phospholipase A2 with unique characteristics identified in a previously studied venom could suggest the origins of these differences. Here, a new Group II secreted phospholipase A2 (Cc-PLA2-II) from the snake venom of Saudi Cerastes cerastes gasperetti was isolated and characterized. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of 13.945 kDa and showed high specific activity on emulsified phosphatidylcholine of 1560 U/mg at pH 9.5 and 50 °C with strict calcium dependence. Interestingly, stability in extreme pH and high temperatures was observed after enzyme incubation at several pH levels and temperatures. Moreover, a significant dose-dependent cytotoxic anti-tumor effect against six human cancer cell lines was observed with concentrations of Cc-PLA2 ranging from 2.5 to 8 µM. No cytotoxic effect on normal human umbilical-vein endothelial cells was noted. These results suggest that Cc-PLA2-II potentially has angiogenic activity of besides cytotoxicity as part of its anti-tumor mechanism. This study justifies the inclusion of this enzyme in many applications for anticancer drug development.

Abstract
Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) and lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TLL) have been immobilized on octyl agarose at low loading and at a loading exceeding the maximum support capacity. Then, the enzymes have been treated with glutaraldehyde and inactivated at pH 7.0 in Tris-HCl, sodium phosphate and HEPES, giving different stabilities. Stabilization (depending on the buffer) of the highly loaded biocatalysts was found, very likely as a consequence of the detected intermolecular crosslinkings. This did not occur for the lowly loaded biocatalysts. Next, the enzymes were chemically aminated and then treated with glutaraldehyde. In the case of TLL, the intramolecular crosslinkings (visible by the apparent reduction of the protein size) increased enzyme stability of the lowly loaded biocatalysts, an effect that was further increased for the highly loaded biocatalysts due to intermolecular crosslinkings. Using CALB, the intramolecular crosslinkings were less intense, and the stabilization was lower, even though the intermolecular crosslinkings were quite intense for the highly loaded biocatalyst. The stabilization detected depended on the inactivation buffer. The interactions between enzyme loading and inactivating buffer on the effects of the chemical modifications suggest that the modification and inactivation studies must be performed under the target biocatalysts and conditions.

Abstract
The widespread of tetracycline (TC) residues in anthropogenic and natural environments pose an immediate threat to public health. Herein, we established the TET-Yeasate, an approach based on whole-cell lysate of engineered yeast, to mitigate the TC contamination in environment. The TET-Yeasate is defined as the biological matrix of whole cell lysate from engineered yeast that containing TC-degradative components (Tet(X), NADPH, Mg2+) and protective macromolecules. The TET-Yeasate was able to efficiently eliminate TC residues in tap water (98.8%), lake water (77.6%), livestock sewage (87.3%) and pharmaceutical wastewater (35.3%) without necessity for exogenous addition of expensive cofactors. The TET-Yeasate was further developed into lyophilized form for ease of storage and delivery. The TET-Yeasate in lyophilized form efficiently removed up to 74.6% TC residue within 0.25 h. In addition, the lyophilization confers promising resilience to TET-Yeasate against adverse temperatures and pH by maintaining degradation efficacy of 85.69%-97.83%. The stability test demonstrated that the biomacromolecules in lysate served as natural protectants that exerted extensive protection on TET-Yeasate during the 14-day storage at various conditions. In addition, 5 potential degradation pathways were elaborated based on the intermediate products. Finally, the analysis indicated that TET-Yeasate enjoyed desirable bio- and eco-safety without introduction of hazardous intermediates and spread of resistance genes. To summary, the TET-Yeasate based on whole cell lysate of engineered yeast provides a cost-effective and safe alternative to efficiently remove TC residues in environment, highlighting the great potential of such whole-cell based methods in environmental decontamination.

Abstract
Over the past five years, there has been growing interest in the design of modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as nanoscale antimicrobial agents in potential end-user applications such as food preservation/packaging, additive manufacturing, biomedical and water purification. The interest of applying CNCs-based antimicrobial agents arise due to their abilities to be derived from renewable bioresources and their excellent physicochemical properties including rod-like morphologies, large specific surface area, low toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability and sustainability. The presence of ample surface hydroxyl groups further allows easy chemical surface modifications for the design of advanced functional CNCs-based antimicrobial materials. Furthermore, CNCs are used to support antimicrobial agents that are subjected to instability issues. The current review summarizes recent progress in CNC-inorganic hybrid-based materials (Ag and Zn nanoparticles, other metal/metal oxide) and CNC-organic hybrid-based materials (polymers, chitosan, simple organic molecules). It focuses on their design, syntheses and applications with a brief discussion on their probable modes of antimicrobial action whereby the roles of CNCs and/or the antimicrobial agents are highlighted.

Abstract
Tableting of biomolecules is a challenging formulation phase due to their sensitivity to various process parameters, such as compression pressure, process dynamics, or the temperature generated. In the present study, pancreatin was employed as a model enzyme mixture, which was formulated in tablet form utilizing the synergistic effects of brittle and plastic excipients (dibasic calcium phosphate and microcrystalline cellulose, respectively). The effect of varying compaction pressure and lubricant concentration on the generated temperature and enzymatic activity was evaluated. The tablets were analyzed for pancreatin content and the activity of two enzymes (protease and amylase) using pharmacopoeial tests. This study indicated that the formulations proposed here allow tableting over a wide range of compaction pressures without adversely affecting pancreatin content and its enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Phosphite dehydrogenase (PtxD) is a promising enzyme for NAD(P)H regeneration. To expand the usability of PtxD, we cloned, expressed, and analyzed PtxD from the marine cyanobacterium Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142 (Ct-PtxD). Ct-PtxD exhibited maximum activity at pH 9.0°C and 50°C and high stability over a wide pH range of 6.0-10.0. Compared to previously reported PtxDs, Ct-PtxD showed increased resistance to salt ions such as Na+, K+, and NH4 +. It also exhibited high tolerance to organic solvents such as ethanol, dimethylformamide, and methanol when bound to its preferred cofactor, NAD+. Remarkably, these organic solvents enhanced the Ct-PtxD activity while inhibiting the PtxD activity of Ralstonia sp. 4506 (Rs-PtxD) at concentrations ranging from 10% to 30%. Molecular electrostatic potential analysis showed that the NAD+-binding site of Ct-PtxD was rich in positively charged residues, which may attract the negatively charged pyrophosphate group of NAD+ under high-salt conditions. Amino acid composition analysis revealed that Ct-PtxD contained fewer hydrophobic amino acids than other PtxD enzymes, which reduced the hydrophobicity and increased the hydration of protein surface under low water activity. We also demonstrated that the NADH regeneration system using Ct-PtxD is useful for the coupled chiral conversion of trimethylpyruvic acid into L-tert-leucine using leucine dehydrogenase under high ammonium conditions, which is less supported by the Rs-PtxD enzyme. These results imply that Ct-PtxD might be a potential candidate for NAD(P)H regeneration in industrial applications under the reaction conditions containing salt and organic solvent.

Abstract
Fungi are a unique natural resource rich in polysaccharides, proteins, and other components. Polysaccharides are considered one of the most important bioactive components in fungi. Increasing numbers of studies have confirmed that fungal polysaccharides have various biological activities. Given these facts, the main aim of this investigation was to carry out isolation, identification, and structural characterisation of a new polysaccharide (EPS) derived from laboratory-cultured vegetative mycelium of a new Spongipellis borealis strain isolated from the environment. The examination of monosaccharides in the EPS demonstrated that the isolated biopolymer was composed mainly of glucose, galactose, and mannose monomers. The analysis of the methylation of the studied polymer indicated that it contained mainly terminal, →3)-linked, →4)-linked, and →2,4)-linked hexoses. The effect of fungal polysaccharides on S. borealis proteolytic enzymes (pepsin, trypsin, and pycnoporopepsin) and laccase activity was determined for the first time. Incubation of the enzyme preparation and EPS showed an influence of EPS on the stability of these enzymes, compared to the control values (without EPS).

Abstract
CRISPR-Cas12a is an accurate and responsive biosensing technique, but its limited stability has restricted its widespread applications. To address this, we propose a strategy using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to protect Cas12a from harsh environments. After screening multiple candidate MOFs, it was found that hydrophilic MAF-7 is highly compatible with Cas12a, and the as-formed Cas12a-on-MAF-7 (COM) not only retains high enzymatic activity but also possesses excellent tolerance to heat, salt, and organic solvents. Further investigation showed that COM can serve as an analytical component for nucleic acid detection, resulting in an ultrasensitive assay for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection with a detection limit of 1 copy. This is the first successful attempt to create an active Cas12a nanobiocomposite that functions as a biosensor without the need for shell deconstruction or enzyme release.

Pullulanase: unleashing the power of enzyme with a promising future in the food industry. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1139611.

Abstract
Pullulanases are the most important industrial group of enzymes in family 13 glycosyl hydrolases. They hydrolyze either α-1,6 and α-1,4 or both glycosidic bonds in pullulan as well as other carbohydrates to produce glucose, maltose, and maltotriose syrups, which have important uses in food and other related sectors. However, very less reports are available on pullulanase production from native strains because of low yield issues. In line with the increasing demands for pullulanase, it has become important to search for novel pullulanase-producing microorganisms with high yields. Moreover, high production costs and low yield are major limitations in the industrial production of pullulanase enzymes. The production cost of pullulanase by using the solid-state fermentation (SSF) process can be minimized by selecting agro-industrial waste. This review summarizes the types, sources, production strategies, and potential applications of pullulanase in different food and other related industries. Researchers should focus on fungal strains producing pullulanase for better yield and low production costs by using agro-waste. It will prove a better enzyme in different food processing industries and will surely reduce the cost of products.

Abstract
During this century, a number of reports have described the potential roles of thermophiles in the upper soil layers during high-temperature periods. This study evaluates the capabilities of these microorganisms and proposes some potential consequences and risks associated with the activity of soil thermophiles. They are active in organic matter mineralization, releasing inorganic nutrients (C, S, N, P) that otherwise remain trapped in the organic complexity of soil. To process complex organic compounds in soils, these thermophiles require extracellular enzymes to break down large polymers into simple compounds, which can be incorporated into the cells and processed. Soil thermophiles are able to adapt their extracellular enzyme activities to environmental conditions. These enzymes can present optimum activity under high temperatures and reduced water content. Consequently, these microorganisms have been shown to actively process and decompose substances (including pollutants) under extreme conditions (i.e., desiccation and heat) in soils. While nutrient cycling is a highly beneficial process to maintain soil service quality, progressive warming can lead to excessive activity of soil thermophiles and their extracellular enzymes. If this activity is too high, it may lead to reduction in soil organic matter, nutrient impoverishment and to an increased risk of aridity. This is a clear example of a potential effect of future predicted climate warming directly caused by soil microorganisms with major consequences for our understanding of ecosystem functioning, soil health and the risk of soil aridity.

Abstract
Acidified oil is obtained from by-product of crops oil refining industry, which is considered as a low-cost material for fatty acid production. Hydrolysis of acidified oil by lipase catalysis for producing fatty acid is a sustainable and efficient bioprocess that is an alternative of continuous countercurrent hydrolysis. In this study, lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) was immobilized on magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 via covalent binding strategy for highly efficient hydrolysis of acidified soybean oil. FTIR, XRD, SEM and VSM were used to characterize the immobilized lipase (Fe3O4@SiO2-CRL). The enzyme properties of the Fe3O4@SiO2-CRL were determined. Fe3O4@SiO2-CRL was used to catalyze the hydrolysis of acidified soybean oil to produce fatty acids. Catalytic reaction conditions were studied, including amount of catalyst, reaction time, and water/oil ratio. The results of optimization indicated that the hydrolysis rate reached 98% under 10 wt.% (oil) of catalyst, 3:1 (v/v) of water/oil ratio, and 313 K after 12 h. After 5 cycles, the hydrolysis activity of Fe3O4@SiO2-CRL remained 55%. Preparation of fatty acids from high-acid-value by-products through biosystem shows great industrial potential.

Abstract
This study reports the preparation of silica-coated and nano-fructosome encapsulated Candida antarctica lipase B particles (CalB@NF@SiO2) and a demonstration of their enzymatic hydrolysis and acylation. CalB@NF@SiO2 particles were prepared as a function of TEOS concentration (3-100 mM). Their mean particle size was 185 nm by TEM. Enzymatic hydrolysis was performed to compare catalytic efficiencies of CalB@NF and CalB@NF@SiO2. The catalytic constants (Km, Vmax, and Kcat) of CalB@NF and CalB@NF@SiO2 were calculated using the Michaelis-Menten equation and Lineweaver-Burk plot. Optimal stability of CalB@NF@SiO2 was found at pH 8 and a temperature of 35 °C. Moreover, CalB@NF@SiO2 particles were reused for seven cycles to evaluate their reusability. In addition, enzymatic synthesis of benzyl benzoate was demonstrated via an acylation reaction with benzoic anhydride. The efficiency of CalB@NF@SiO2 for converting benzoic anhydride to benzyl benzoate by the acylation reaction was 97%, indicating that benzoic anhydride was almost completely converted to benzyl benzoate. Consequently, CalB@NF@SiO2 particles are better than CalB@NF particles for enzymatic synthesis. In addition, they are reusable with high stability at optimal pH and temperature.

Expression and characterization of α-L-arabinofuranosidase derived from Aspergillus awamori and its enzymatic degradation of corn byproducts with xylanase. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023:129278. [PMID: 37290707 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
In this study, α-L-arabinofuranosidase (AF) from Aspergillus awamori was heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris X33, with a 1-fold increase in AF activity after codon and vector optimization. AF remained stable at 60-65 °C and displayed a broad pH stability range of 2.5-8.0. It also demonstrated considerable resistance to pepsin and trypsin. Furthermore, compared with xylanase alone, AF with xylanase exhibited a marked synergistic effect in the degradation of expanded corn bran, corn bran, and corn distillers' dried grains with solubles, reducing sugars by 3.6-fold, 1.4-fold, and 6.5-fold, respectively, with the degree of synergy increasing to 4.61, 2.44, and 5.4, respectively, while in vitro dry matter digestibility values were 17.6%, 5.2%, and 8.8%, respectively. After enzymatic saccharification, corn byproducts were converted to prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides and arabinoses, thereby demonstrating the favorable properties of AF in the degradation of corn biomass and its byproducts.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase which is responsible for oxidative conversion of phenolic compounds to polymers, has continued to attract the attention of scientists. Here, we report the extraction, purification and biochemical properties of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina). The enzyme was purified and concentrated using a non-conventional approach, aqueous two-phase partitioning (ATPS) and the biochemical properties of the purified enzyme were investigated. Substrate specificity studies revealed that the enzyme predominantly exhibits diphenolase activity. The order of substrate preference was catechol > L-DOPA > caffeic acid > L-tyrosine > resorcinol>2-naphthol > phenol. The optimum pH and temperature obtained for the enzyme using catechol as substrate were 5.5 and 50 °C respectively. The estimated Michaelis constant (Km) and maximum velocity (Vmax) for the purified vaPPO using catechol as substrate were 183 ± 5.0 mM and 2000 ± 15 units/mg protein respectively. The catalytic efficiency (Vmax/Km) of the purified vaPPO was 10.9 ± 0.03 min/mg. Na+, K+ and Ba2+ remarkably activated the enzyme and the level of activation was proportional to the concentration. The vaPPO presented stability in the presence of up to 50 mM of the different metal ions tested. In contrast, Cu2+ and NH4+ inhibited the enzyme even 10 mM concentrations. The enzyme was stable in chloroform retaining up to 60% relative activity at 50% (v/v) concentration. There was an increase in the activity (143%) of the enzyme at 30% (v/v) chloroform., revealing that vaPPO could catalyze the substrate more efficiently in 30% (v/v) chloroform. Total loss of enzyme activity was observed at 20% (v/v) concentrations of acetone, ethanol and methanol. In conclusion, the properties of the vaPPO such as its catalysis in the presence of organic solvents, metals and high temperature would be of interest in many biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Globular proteins are well-folded model proteins, where ions can substantially influence their structure and aggregation. Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts in the liquid state with versatile ion combinations. Understanding the IL effect on protein behavior remains a major challenge. Here, we employed small angle X-ray scattering to investigate the effect of aqueous ILs on the structure and aggregation of globular proteins, namely, hen egg white lysozyme (Lys), human lysozyme (HLys), myoglobin (Mb), β-lactoglobulin (βLg), trypsin (Tryp) and superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP). The ILs contain ammonium-based cations paired with the mesylate, acetate or nitrate anion. Results showed that only Lys was monomeric, whereas the other proteins formed small or large aggregates in buffer. Solutions with over 17 mol% IL resulted in significant changes in the protein structure and aggregation. The Lys structure was expanded at 1 mol% but compact at 17 mol% with structural changes in loop regions. HLys formed small aggregates, with the IL effect similar to Lys. Mb and βLg mostly had distinct monomer and dimer distributions depending on IL type and IL concentration. Complex aggregation was noted for Tryp and sfGFP. While the anion had the largest ion effect, changing the cation also induced the structural expansion and protein aggregation.

Evaluation of scale-up effect on cold-active enzyme production and biodegradation tests using pilot-scale bioreactors and a 3D soil tank. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 450:131078. [PMID: 36848843 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Despite recent attention being paid to the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in cold environments, scale-up studies of biodegradation are lacking. Herein, the effect of scale-up on the enzymatic biodegradation of highly contaminated soil at low temperatures was studied. A novel cold-adapted bacteria (Arthrobacter sp. S2TR-06) was isolated that could produce cold-active degradative enzymes (xylene monooxygenase (XMO) and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C2,3D)). Enzyme production was investigated on 4 different scales (lab to pilot scale). The results showed a shorter fermentation time, and the highest production of enzymes and biomass (107 g/L for biomass, 109 U/mL, and 203 U/mL for XMO and C2,3D after 24 h) was achieved in the 150-L bioreactor due to enhanced oxygenation. Multi-pulse injection of p-xylene into the production medium was needed every 6 h. The stability of membrane-bound enzymes can be increased up to 3-fold by adding FeSO4 at 0.1% (w/v) before extraction. Soil tests also showed that biodegradation is scale-dependent. The maximum biodegradation rate decreased from 100% at lab-scale to 36% in the 300-L sand tank tests due to limited access of enzymes to trapped p-xylene in soil pores, low dissolved oxygen in the water-saturated zone, soil heterogeneity, and the presence of the free phase of p-xylene. The result demonstrated that formulation of enzyme mixture with FeSO4 and direct injection of enzyme mixture (third scenario) can increase the efficiency of bioremediation in heterogeneous soil. In this study, it was demonstrated that cold-active degradative enzyme production can be scaled up to an industrial scale and enzymatic treatment can be used to effectively bioremediate p-xylene contaminated sites. This study could provide key scale-up guidance for the enzymatic bioremediation of mono-aromatic pollutants in water-saturated soil under cold conditions.

Abstract
In the post-pandemic era, point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of diseases is an important research frontier. Modern portable electrochemical (bio)sensors enable the design of POC diagnostics for the identification of diseases and regular healthcare monitoring. Herein, we present a critical review of the electrochemical creatinine (bio)sensors. These sensors either make use of biological receptors such as enzymes or employ synthetic responsive materials, which provide a sensitive interface for creatinine-specific interactions. The characteristics of different receptors and electrochemical devices are discussed, along with their limitations. The major challenges in the development of affordable and deliverable creatinine diagnostics and the drawbacks of enzymatic and enzymeless electrochemical biosensors are elaborated, especially considering their analytical performance parameters. These revolutionary devices have potential biomedical applications ranging from early POC diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other kidney-related illnesses to routine monitoring of creatinine in elderly and at-risk humans.

Abstract
The construction from scratch of synthetic cells by assembling molecular building blocks is unquestionably an ambitious goal from a scientific and technological point of view. To realize functional life-like systems, minimal enzymatic modules are required to sustain the processes underlying the out-of-equilibrium thermodynamic status hallmarking life, including the essential supply of energy in the form of electrons. The nicotinamide cofactors NAD(H) and NADP(H) are the main electron carriers fueling reductive redox reactions of the metabolic network of living cells. One way to ensure the continuous availability of reduced nicotinamide cofactors in a synthetic cell is to build a minimal enzymatic module that can oxidize an external electron donor and reduce NAD(P)+. In the diverse world of metabolism there is a plethora of potential electron donors and enzymes known from living organisms to provide reducing power to NAD(P)+ coenzymes. This perspective proposes guidelines to enable the reduction of nicotinamide cofactors enclosed in phospholipid vesicles, while avoiding high burdens of or cross-talk with other encapsulated metabolic modules. By determining key requirements, such as the feasibility of the reaction and transport of the electron donor into the cell-like compartment, we select a shortlist of potentially suitable electron donors. We review the most convenient proteins for the use of these reducing agents, highlighting their main biochemical and structural features. Noting that specificity toward either NAD(H) or NADP(H) imposes a limitation common to most of the analyzed enzymes, we discuss the need for specific enzymes─transhydrogenases─to overcome this potential bottleneck.

Abstract
In this study, two binuclear dioxido- and oxidoperoxido molybdenum (VI) complexes, [{MoVIO2}2(L)(H2O)2] 1 and [{MoVIO(O2)}2(L)(H2O)2] 2, were synthesized. Complex 1 was obtained through a 1:2 reaction of ligand I with MoO2(acac)2, while complex 2 was synthesized in situ by reacting MoO3 with H2O2 in a 1:2 ratio. The structures and characteristics of the complexes were examined employing several techniques such as elemental (CHN) analysis, spectroscopy (FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1H, and 13CNMR), and thermal study (TGA). SC-XRD analysis of complex 1a revealed that the molybdenum central atom adopts an octahedral geometry and is bonded to phenolic oxygen, enolate oxygen, and azomethine nitrogen atoms. Powder X-ray diffraction was used to determine the purity of the bulk material, and the results were compared to single crystal data. Computational calculations were performed using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level of theory for the ligand and the LANL2DZ level of theory for the complexes, yielding geometry optimized structures that were then employed in frequency and NMR-calculations. These theoretical findings were compared to the experimental results and showed a good correlation. Furthermore, the complexes exhibited peroxidase-like activity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as evidenced by the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine and dopamine.

Abstract
R-specific 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol dehydrogenase (R-HPED) is a promising biotool for stereoselective synthesis of chiral aromatic alcohols. This work focused on the evaluation of its stability under storage and in-process conditions in the pH range from 5.5 to 8.5. The relationship between the dynamics of aggregation and activity loss under various pH conditions and in the presence of glucose, serving as a stabilizer, was analysed using spectrophotometric techniques and dynamic light scattering. pH 8.5 was indicated as a representative environment in which the enzyme, despite relatively low activity, shows high stability and the highest total product yield. Based on a series of inactivation experiments, the mechanism of thermal inactivation at pH 8.5 was modelled. The irreversible first-order mechanism of R-HPED inactivation in the temperature range of 47.5-60 °C was verified by isothermal and multi-temperature evaluation of data, confirming that in the alkaline pH 8.5, R-HPED aggregation is the secondary process occurring at already inactivated protein molecules. The rate constants were from 0.029 min-1 to 0.380 min-1 for a buffer solution but they decreased to 0.011 min-1 and 0.161 min-1, respectively, when 1.5 M glucose was added as a stabilizer. The activation energy was however about 200 kJ mol-1 in both cases.

Abstract
Non-aqueous enzymology has always drawn attention due to the wide range of unique possibilities in biocatalysis. In general, the enzymes do not or insignificantly catalyze substrate in the presence of solvents. This is due to the interfering interactions of the solvents between enzyme and water molecules at the interface. Therefore, information about solvent-stable enzymes is scarce. Yet, solvent-stable enzymes prove quite valuable in the present day biotechnology. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrates in solvents synthesizes commercially valuable products, such as peptides, esters, and other transesterification products. Extremophiles, the most valuable yet not extensively explored candidates, can be an excellent source to investigate this avenue. Due to inherent structural attributes, many extremozymes can catalyze and maintain stability in organic solvents. In the present review, we aim to consolidate information about the solvent-stable enzymes from various extremophilic microorganisms. Further, it would be interesting to learn about the mechanism adapted by these microorganisms to sustain solvent stress. Various approaches to protein engineering are used to enhance catalytic flexibility and stability and broaden biocatalysis's prospects under non-aqueous conditions. It also describes strategies to achieve optimal immobilization with minimum inhibition of the catalysis. The proposed review would significantly aid our understanding of non-aqueous enzymology.

Abstract
The synergistic combination of current biotechnological and nanotechnological research has turned to multienzyme co-immobilization as a promising concept to design biocatalysis engineering. It has also intensified the development and deployment of multipurpose biocatalysts, for instance, multienzyme co-immobilized constructs, via biocatalysis/protein engineering to scale-up and fulfil the ever-increasing industrial demands. Considering the characteristic features of both the loaded multienzymes and nanostructure carriers, i.e., selectivity, specificity, stability, resistivity, induce activity, reaction efficacy, multi-usability, high catalytic turnover, optimal yield, ease in recovery, and cost-effectiveness, multienzyme-based green biocatalysts have become a powerful norm in biocatalysis/protein engineering sectors. In this context, the current state-of-the-art in enzyme engineering with a synergistic combination of nanotechnology, at large, and nanomaterials, in particular, are significantly contributing and providing robust tools to engineer and/or tailor enzymes to fulfil the growing catalytic and contemporary industrial needs. Considering the above critics and unique structural, physicochemical, and functional attributes, herein, we spotlight important aspects spanning across prospective nano-carriers for multienzyme co-immobilization. Further, this work comprehensively discuss the current advances in deploying multienzyme-based cascade reactions in numerous sectors, including environmental remediation and protection, drug delivery systems (DDS), biofuel cells development and energy production, bio-electroanalytical devices (biosensors), therapeutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical oriented applications. In conclusion, the continuous developments in nano-assembling the multienzyme loaded co-immobilized nanostructure carriers would be a unique way that could act as a core of modern biotechnological research.
