Abstract
Catalase (CAT), a ubiquitous enzyme in all oxygen-exposed organisms, effectively decomposes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a harmful by-product, into water and oxygen, mitigating oxidative stress and cellular damage, safeguarding cellular organelles and tissues. Therefore, CAT plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and function. Owing to its pivotal role, CAT has garnered considerable interest. However, many challenges arise when used, especially in multiple practical processes. "Immobilization", a widely-used technique, can help improve enzyme properties. CAT immobilization offers numerous advantages, including enhanced stability, reusability, and facilitated downstream processing. This review presents a comprehensive overview of CAT immobilization. It starts with discussing various immobilization mechanisms, support materials, advantages, drawbacks, and factors influencing the performance of immobilized CAT. Moreover, the review explores the application of the immobilized CAT in various industries and its prospects, highlighting its essential role in diverse fields and stimulating further research and investigation. Furthermore, the review highlights some of the world's leading companies in the field of the CAT industry and their substantial potential for economic contribution. This review aims to serve as a discerning, source of information for researchers seeking a comprehensive cutting-edge overview of this rapidly evolving field and have been overwhelmed by the size of publications.

Nano-fibrillated cellulose-based scaffolds for enzyme (co)-immobilization: Application to natural product glycosylation by Leloir glycosyltransferases. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 222:217-227. [PMID: 36165869 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.160] [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: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Polysaccharide-based scaffolds are promising carriers for enzyme immobilization. Here, we demonstrate a porous scaffold prepared by direct-ink-writing 3D printing of an ink consisting of nanofibrillated cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and citric acid for immobilization application. Negative surface charge introduced by the components made the scaffold amenable for an affinity-like immobilization via the cationic protein module Zbasic2. Zbasic2 fusions of two sugar nucleotide-dependent glycosyltransferases (C-glycosyltransferase, Z-CGT; sucrose synthase, Z-SuSy) were immobilized individually, or co-immobilized, and applied to synthesize the natural C-glycoside nothofagin. The cascade reaction involved β-C-glycosylation of phloretin (10 mM, ~90 % conversion) from UDP-glucose, provided from sucrose and catalytic amounts of UDP (1.0 mM). Enzymes were co-immobilized at ~65 mg protein/g carrier to receive activities of 9.5 U/g (Z-CGT) and 4.5 U/g (Z-SuSy) in 22-33 % yield (protein) and an effectiveness of 23 % (Z-CGT) and 13 % (Z-SuSy). The scaffold-bound enzymes were recyclable for 5 consecutive reactions.

Abstract
Incorporating enzymes with three-dimensional (3D) printing is an exciting new field of convergence research that holds infinite potential for creating highly customizable components with diverse and efficient biocatalytic properties. Enzymes, nature's nanoscale protein-based catalysts, perform crucial functions in biological systems and play increasingly important roles in modern chemical processing methods, cascade reactions, and sensor technologies. Immobilizing enzymes on solid carriers facilitates their recovery and reuse, improves stability and longevity, broadens applicability, and reduces overall processing and chemical conversion costs. Three-dimensional printing offers extraordinary flexibility for creating high-resolution complex structures that enable completely new reactor designs with versatile sub-micron functional features in macroscale objects. Immobilizing enzymes on or in 3D printed structures makes it possible to precisely control their spatial location for the optimal catalytic reaction. Combining the rapid advances in these two technologies is leading to completely new levels of control and precision in fabricating immobilized enzyme catalysts. The goal of this review is to promote further research by providing a critical discussion of 3D printed enzyme immobilization methods encompassing both post-printing immobilization and immobilization by physical entrapment during 3D printing. Especially, 3D printed gel matrix techniques offer mild single-step entrapment mechanisms that produce ideal environments for enzymes with high retention of catalytic function and unparalleled fabrication control. Examples from the literature, comparisons of the benefits and challenges of different combinations of the two technologies, novel approaches employed to enhance printed hydrogel physical properties, and an outlook on future directions are included to provide inspiration and insights for pursuing work in this promising field.

Abstract
As the strategies of enzyme immobilization possess attractive advantages that contribute to realizing recovery or reuse of enzymes and improving their stability, they have become one of the most desirable techniques in industrial catalysis, biosensing, and biomedicine. Among them, 3D printing is the emerging and most potential enzyme immobilization strategy. The main advantages of 3D printing strategies for enzyme immobilization are that they can directly produce complex channel structures at low cost, and the printed scaffolds with immobilized enzymes can be completely modified just by changing the original design graphics. In this review, a comprehensive set of developments in the fields of 3D printing techniques, materials, and strategies for enzyme immobilization and the potential applications in industry and biomedicine are summarized. In addition, we put forward some challenges and possible solutions for the development of this field and some possible development directions in the future.

Abstract
Over the course of its history, the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been characterized by alternating periods of intensive instrumentation development and rapid expansion into new chemical application areas. NMR is now both a mainstay of routine analysis for laboratories at all levels of education and research. On the other hand, new instrumentation and methodological advances promise expanded functionality in the future. At the core of this success is a community fundamentally dedicated to sharing ideas and collaborative advancements, as exemplified by the extensive remixing and repurposing of pulse sequences. Recent progress in modularity, automation, and 3D printing have reignited the tinkering spirit and demonstrate great promise to mature into a maker space that will enable similarly facile sharing of new applications and broader access to magnetic resonance.

Abstract
Biocatalysts represent an efficient, highly selective and greener alternative to metal catalysts in both industry and academia. In the last two decades, the interest in biocatalytic transformations has increased due to an urgent need for more sustainable industrial processes that comply with the principles of green chemistry. Thanks to the recent advances in biotechnologies, protein engineering and the Nobel prize awarded concept of direct enzymatic evolution, the synthetic enzymatic toolbox has expanded significantly. In particular, the implementation of biocatalysts in continuous flow systems has attracted much attention, especially from industry. The advantages of flow chemistry enable biosynthesis to overcome well-known limitations of “classic” enzymatic catalysis, such as time-consuming work-ups and enzyme inhibition, as well as difficult scale-up and process intensifications. Moreover, continuous flow biocatalysis provides access to practical, economical and more sustainable synthetic pathways, an important aspect for the future of pharmaceutical companies if they want to compete in the market while complying with European Medicines Agency (EMA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and green chemistry requirements. This review focuses on the most recent advances in the use of flow biocatalysis for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), pharmaceuticals and natural products, and the advantages and limitations are discussed.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper oxidases, which have been widely investigated in recent decades thanks to their ability to oxidize organic substrates to the corresponding radicals while producing water at the expense of molecular oxygen. Besides their successful (bio)technological applications, for example, in textile, petrochemical, and detoxifications/bioremediations industrial processes, their synthetic potentialities for the mild and green preparation or selective modification of fine chemicals are of outstanding value in biocatalyzed organic synthesis. Accordingly, this review is focused on reporting and rationalizing some of the most recent and interesting synthetic exploitations of laccases. Applications of the so-called laccase-mediator system (LMS) for alcohol oxidation are discussed with a focus on carbohydrate chemistry and natural products modification as well as on bio- and chemo-integrated processes. The laccase-catalyzed Csp2-H bonds activation via monoelectronic oxidation is also discussed by reporting examples of enzymatic C-C and C-O radical homo- and hetero-couplings, as well as of aromatic nucleophilic substitutions of hydroquinones or quinoids. Finally, the laccase-initiated domino/cascade synthesis of valuable aromatic (hetero)cycles, elegant strategies widely documented in the literature across more than three decades, is also presented.
