Multivariate Silicification-Assisted Single Enzyme Structure Augmentation for Improved Enzymatic Activity-Stability Trade-Off. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202406110.

Abstract
The ability to finely tune/balance the structure and rigidity of enzymes to realize both high enzymatic activity and long-term stability is highly desired but highly challenging. Herein, we propose the concept of the "silicazyme", where solid inorganic silica undergoes controlled hybridization with the fragile enzyme under moderate conditions at the single-enzyme level, thus enabling simultaneous structure augmentation, long-term stability, and high enzymatic activity preservation. A multivariate silicification approach was utilized and occurred around individual enzymes to allow conformal coating. To realize a high activity-stability trade-off the structure flexibility/rigidity of the silicazyme was optimized by a component adjustment ternary (CAT) plot method. Moreover, the multivariate organosilica frameworks bring great advantages, including surface microenvironment adjustability, reversible modification capability, and functional extensibility through the rich chemistry of silica. Overall silicazymes represent a new class of enzymes with promise for catalysis, separations, and nanomedicine.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is a crucial technique for improving the stability of enzymes. Compared with free enzymes, immobilized enzymes offer several advantages in industrial applications. Efficient enzyme immobilization requires a technique that integrates the advantages of physical absorption and covalent binding while addressing the limitations of conventional support materials. This study offers a practical approach for immobilizing α-amylase on a hierarchically porous chitosan (CS) monolith. An optimized CS monolith was fabricated using chemically modified chitin by thermally induced phase separation. By combining physical adsorption and covalent bonding, this technique leverages the amino and hydroxy groups present in CS to facilitate effective enzyme binding and stability. α-Amylase immobilized on the CS monolith demonstrated excellent stability, reusability, and increased activity compared to its soluble counterpart across various pH levels and temperatures. In addition, the CS monolith exhibited a significant potential to immobilize other enzymes, namely, lipase and catalase. Immobilized lipase and catalase exhibited higher loading capacities and enhanced activities than their soluble forms. This versatility highlights the broad applicability of CS monoliths as support materials for various enzymatic processes. This study provides guidelines for fabricating hierarchical porous monolith structures that can provide efficient enzyme utilization in flow systems and potentially enhance the cost-effectiveness of enzymes in industrial applications.

Abstract
Open-tubular immobilized enzyme microreactors (OT-IMERs) are some of the most widely used enzyme reaction devices due to the advantages of simple preparation and fast sample processing. However, the traditional approaches for OT-IMERs preparation had some defects such as limited enzyme loading amount, susceptibility to complex sample interference, and less stability. Here, we report a strategy for the preparation of highly active and stable OT-IMERs, in which the single-stranded DNA-enzyme composites were immobilized in capillaries and then encapsulated in situ in the capillaries via zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-L). The phosphate groups of the DNA adjusted the surface potential of the enzyme to negative values, which could attract cations, such as Zn2+, to promote the formation of ZIF-L for enzyme encapsulation. Using chymotrypsin (ChT) as a model enzyme, the prepared ChT@ZIF-L-IMER has higher activity and better affinity than the free enzyme and ChT-IMER. Moreover, the thermal stability, pH stability, and organic solvent stability of ChT@ZIF-L-IMER were much higher than those of free enzyme and ChT-IMER. Furthermore, the activity of ChT@ZIF-L-IMER was much higher than that of ChT-IMER after ten consecutive reactions. To demonstrate the versatility of this preparation method, we replaced ChT with glucose oxidase (GOx). The stability of GOx@ZIF-L-IMER was also experimentally demonstrated to be superior to that of GOx and GOx-IMER. Finally, ChT@ZIF-L-IMER was used for proteolytic digestion analysis. The results showed that ChT@ZIF-L-IMER had a short digestion time and high digestive efficiency compared with the free enzyme. The present study broadened the synthesis method of OT-IMERs, effectively integrating the advantages of metal-organic frameworks and IMER, and the prepared OT-IMERs significantly improved enzyme stability. All of the results indicated that the IMER prepared by this method had a broad application prospect in capillary electrophoresis-based high-performance enzyme analysis.

Abstract
This study established a Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) system to catalyze triolein and ethyl ferulate interesterification. The products were identified, and the binding mode between the substrates and CRL was predicted through molecular docking. Three methods for preparing CRL-AuNPs were proposed and characterized. It was found that the addition of 40 mL of 15 nm gold nanoparticles increased the CRL activity from 3.05 U/mg to 4.75 U/mg, but the hybridization efficiency was only 32.7 %. By using 4 mL of 0.1 mg/mL chloroauric acid, the hybridization efficiency was improved to 50.7 %, but the enzyme activity was sharply decreased. However, when the molar ratio of Mb to HAuCl4 was 0.2, the hybridization efficiency increased to 71.8 %, and the CRL activity was also enhanced to 5.98 U/mg. Under optimal conditions, the enzyme activity of CRL-AuNPs③ was maintained at 95 % after 6 repetitions and 85.6 % after 30 days at room temperature.

Abstract
Obesity is a global pandemic, thus novel developments that reduce the absorption of fats is of interest. We have evaluated the effect of graphene oxide (GO) on the lipase catalyzed hydrolysis of fats (tributyrin, sunflower and olive oil) under simulated duodenal conditions. Results indicate that the presence of GO in the digestion mixture can inhibit lipase activity up to a 90% of the initial reaction rate, and this inhibition lasts even during 2 h of digestion. The inhibition mechanism seems non competitive and could be opposite to the effect of bile salts, although the direct interaction between GO and the enzyme cannot be discarded. The inhibition is found also in alimentary fats suggesting that GO could be a strong inhibitor for fat hydrolysis.

Abstract
Assembling metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into ordered multidimensional porous superstructures promises the encapsulation of enzymes for heterogeneous biocatalysts. However, the full potential of this approach has been limited by the poor stability of enzymes and the uncontrolled assembly of MOF nanoparticles onto suitable supports. In this study, a novel and exceptionally robust Ni-imidazole-based MOF was synthesized in water at room temperature, enabling in situ enzyme encapsulation. Based on this MOF platform, we developed a DNA-directed assembly strategy to achieve the uniform placement of MOF nanoparticles onto bacterial cellulose nanofibers, resulting in a distinctive "branch-fruit" structure. The resulting hybrid materials demonstrated remarkable versatility across various catalytic systems, accommodating natural enzymes, nanoenzymes, and multienzyme cascades, thus showcasing enormous potential as universal microbioreactors. Furthermore, the hierarchical composites facilitated rapid diffusion of the bulky substrate while maintaining the enzyme stability, with ∼3.5-fold higher relative activity compared to the traditional enzyme@MOF immobilized in bacterial cellulose nanofibers.

Abstract
Precision drug delivery and multimodal synergistic therapy are crucial in treating diverse ailments, such as cancer, tissue damage, and degenerative diseases. Electrodes that emit electric pulses have proven effective in enhancing molecule release and permeability in drug delivery systems. Moreover, the physiological electrical microenvironment plays a vital role in regulating biological functions and triggering action potentials in neural and muscular tissues. Due to their unique noncentrosymmetric structures, many 2D materials exhibit outstanding piezoelectric performance, generating positive and negative charges under mechanical forces. This ability facilitates precise drug targeting and ensures high stimulus responsiveness, thereby controlling cellular destinies. Additionally, the abundant active sites within piezoelectric 2D materials facilitate efficient catalysis through piezochemical coupling, offering multimodal synergistic therapeutic strategies. However, the full potential of piezoelectric 2D nanomaterials in drug delivery system design remains underexplored due to research gaps. In this context, the current applications of piezoelectric 2D materials in disease management are summarized in this review, and the development of drug delivery systems influenced by these materials is forecast.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilized on magnetic nanomaterials is a promising biocatalyst with efficient recovery under applied magnets. In this study, a recombinant extracellular lipase from Aspergillus niger GZUF36 (PEXANL1) expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 was immobilized on ionic liquid-modified magnetic nano ferric oxide (Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs) via electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction. The morphology, structure, and properties of Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs and immobilized PEXANL1 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, vibration sample magnetometer, and zeta potential analysis. Under optimized conditions, the immobilization efficiency and activity recovery of immobilized PEXANL1 were 52 ± 2% and 122 ± 2%, respectively. The enzymatic properties of immobilized PEXANL1 were also investigated. The results showed that immobilized PEXANL1 achieved the maximum activity at pH 5.0 and 45 °C, and the lipolytic activity of immobilized PEXANL1 was more than twice that of PEXANL1. Compared to PEXANL1, immobilized PEXANL1 exhibited enhanced tolerance to temperature, metal ions, surfactants, and organic solvents. The operation stability experiments revealed that immobilized PEXANL1 maintained 86 ± 3% of its activity after 6 reaction cycles. The enhanced catalytic performance in enzyme immobilization on Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs made nanobiocatalysts a compelling choice for bio-industrial applications. Furthermore, Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs could also benefit various industrial enzymes and their practical uses. KEY POINTS: • Immobilized PEXANL1 was confirmed by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD. • The specific activity of immobilized PEXANL1 was more than twice that of PEXANL1. • Immobilized PEXANL1 had improved properties with good operational stability.

Abstract
Enzymes are popular catalysts with many applications, especially in industry. Biocatalyst usage on a large scale is facing some limitations, such as low operational stability, low recyclability, and high enzyme cost. Enzyme immobilization is a beneficial strategy to solve these problems. Bioinformatics tools can often correctly predict immobilization outcomes, resulting in a cost-effective experimental phase with the least time consumed. This study provides an overview of in silico methods predicting immobilization processes via a comprehensive systematic review of published articles till 11 December 2022. It also mentions the strengths and weaknesses of the processes and explains the computational analyses in each method that are required for immobilization assessment. In this regard, Web of Science and Scopus databases were screened to gain relevant publications. After screening the gathered documents (n = 3873), 60 articles were selected for the review. The selected papers have applied in silico procedures including only molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (n = 20), parallel tempering Monte Carlo (PTMC) and MD simulations (n = 3), MD and docking (n = 1), density functional theory (DFT) and MD (n = 1), only docking (n = 11), metal ion binding site prediction (MIB) server and docking (n = 2), docking and DFT (n = 1), docking and analysis of enzyme surfaces (n = 1), only DFT (n = 1), only MIB server (n = 2), analysis of an enzyme structure and surface (n = 12), rational design of immobilized derivatives (RDID) software (n = 3), and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD; n = 2). In most included studies (n = 51), enzyme immobilization was investigated experimentally in addition to in silico evaluation.

Abstract
Xenobiotic aromatic water pollutants pose an extreme threat to environmental sustainability. Due to the lack of detectable functional groups in these compounds and scarcity of selective bio-recognition scaffolds, easy-to-use sensing strategies capable of on-site detection remain unavailable. Herein, to address this lacune, we entail a strategy that combines biosensor scaffolds with organic electronics to create a compact device for environmental aromatic pollution monitoring. As proof of principle, a sensor module capable of rapid, economic, reliable, and ultrasensitive detection of phenol down to 2 ppb (0.02 μM) was designed wherein biosensing protein MopR was coupled with an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT). For effective interfacing of the sensing scaffold MopR, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were optimized as a host immobilization matrix. The MopR-GO immobilized sensor module was subsequently substituted as the gate electrode with PEDOT:PSS serving as an organic semiconductor material. The resulting OECT sensor provided a favourable microenvironment for protein activity, maintaining high specificity. Exclusive phenol detection with minimal loss of sensitivity (<5% error) could be achieved in both complex pollutant mixtures and real environmental samples. This fabrication strategy that amalgamates biological biosensors with organic electronics harnesses the potential to achieve detection of a host of emerging pollutants.

Abstract
This study reports the successful development of a sustainable synthesis protocol for a phase-pure metal azolate framework (MAF-6) and its application in enzyme immobilization. An esterase@MAF-6 biocomposite was synthesized, and its catalytic performance was compared with that of esterase@ZIF-8 and esterase@ZIF-90 in transesterification reactions. Esterase@MAF-6, with its large pore aperture, showed superior enzymatic performance compared to esterase@ZIF-8 and esterase@ZIF-90 in catalyzing transesterification reactions using both n-propanol and benzyl alcohol as reactants. The hydrophobic nature of the MAF-6 platform was shown to activate the immobilized esterase into its open-lid conformation, which exhibited a 1.5- and 4-times enzymatic activity as compared to free esterase in catalyzing transesterification reaction using n-propanol and benzyl alcohol, respectively. The present work offers insights into the potential of MAF-6 as a promising matrix for enzyme immobilization and highlights the need to explore MOF matrices with expanded pore apertures to broaden their practical applications in biocatalysis.

Abstract
Although considerable research achievements have been made to address the plastic crisis using enzymes, their applications are limited due to incomplete degradation and low efficiency. Herein, we report the identification and subsequent engineering of BHETases, which have the potential to improve the efficiency of PET recycling and upcycling. Two BHETases (ChryBHETase and BsEst) are identified from the environment via enzyme mining. Subsequently, mechanism-guided barrier engineering is employed to yield two robust and thermostable ΔBHETases with up to 3.5-fold enhanced kcat/KM than wild-type, followed by atomic resolution understanding. Coupling ΔBHETase into a two-enzyme system overcomes the challenge of heterogeneous product formation and results in up to 7.0-fold improved TPA production than seven state-of-the-art PET hydrolases, under the conditions used here. Finally, we employ a ΔBHETase-joined tandem chemical-enzymatic approach to valorize 21 commercial post-consumed plastics into virgin PET and an example chemical (p-phthaloyl chloride) for achieving the closed-loop PET recycling and open-loop PET upcycling.

Abstract
In recent years, simulations have been used to great advantage to understand the structural and dynamic aspects of distinct enzyme immobilization strategies, as experimental techniques have limitations in establishing their impact at the molecular level. In this review, we discuss how molecular dynamic simulations have been employed to characterize the surface phenomenon in the enzyme immobilization procedure, in an attempt to decipher its impact on the enzyme features, such as activity and stability. In particular, computational studies on the immobilization of enzymes using i) nanoparticles, ii) self-assembled monolayers, iii) graphene and carbon nanotubes, and iv) other surfaces are covered. Importantly, this thorough literature survey reveals that, while simulations have been primarily performed to rationalize the molecular aspects of the immobilization event, their use to predict adequate protocols that can control its impact on the enzyme properties is, up to date, mostly missing.

Abstract
Rationally tailoring a controlled spatial organization of enzymes in a nanoarchitecture for multi-enzyme cascade reactions can enhance the catalytic efficiency via substrate channeling. However, attaining substrate channeling is a grand challenge, requiring sophisticated techniques. Herein, we report facile polymer-directed metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanoarchitechtonics for realizing a desirable enzyme architecture with significantly enhanced substrate channeling. The new method involves the use of poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PADD) as a modulator in a one-step process for simultaneous MOF synthesis and co-immobilization of enzymes (GOx and HRP). The resultant enzymes-PADD@MOFs constructs showed a closely packed nanoarchitecture with enhanced substrate channeling. A transient time close to 0 s was observed, owing to a short diffusion path for substrates in a 2D spindle-shaped structure and their direct transfer from one enzyme to another. This enzyme cascade reaction system showed a 3.5-fold increase in catalytic activity in comparison to free enzymes. The findings provide a new insight into using polymer-directed MOF-based enzyme nanoarchitectures to improve catalytic efficiency and selectivity.

Abstract
In our previous work, we successfully stimulated lipase activity in an anhydrous reaction system using porous polyacrylamide hydrogel microsphere (PPAHM) as a carrier of lipase and free water. However, the effect of the existence state and content of water in lipase-porous polyacrylamide hydrogel microsphere (L-PPAHM) on the interfacial activation remained unclear. In this work, L-PPAHM with different water contents were obtained by water mist rehydration and were used to catalyze the synthesis of conjugated linoleic acid ethyl ester (CLA-EE). The results revealed that there were three existence states of water in L-PPAHM: bound water, semi-bound water and free water, and free water provided the "micro water environment" for the interfacial activation of lipase. The reusability of L-PPAHM with different water contents showed that the activity and stability of L-PPAHM could be achieved by varying the water content of L-PPAHM. The proportion of free water in L-PPAHM increased, and the activity of L-PPAHM increased, but the strength of hydrogen bond interaction between PPAHM and lipase weakened, resulting in the decrease of stability. L-PPAHM with 2/3 of water absorption could ensure sufficient immobilized lipase activity and stability, and its water absorption property could reduce the free water generated during esterification, thus increasing the yield of CLA-EE.

Abstract
Savie is a biodegradable surfactant derived from vitamin E and polysarcosine (PSar) developed for use in organic synthesis in recyclable water. This includes homogeneous catalysis (including examples employing only ppm levels of catalyst), heterogeneous catalysis, and biocatalytic transformations, including a multistep chemoenzymatic sequence. Use of Savie frequently leads to significantly higher yields than do conventional surfactants, while obviating the need for waste-generating organic solvents.

Abstract
Enzymatic esterification plays an important role in the fields of chemistry and biotechnology. In this study, lipase was immobilized on an ionic liquid (IL)-modified magnetic metal-organic framework (MOF) and used to synthesize isoamyl acetate. The immobilized lipase (PPL-ILs/Fe3O4@MOF) showed 2.1-fold and 1.8-fold higher activity compared to the free and immobilized lipase without ILs (PPL-Fe3O4@MOF), respectively. In addition, the anti-denaturant ability and reusability of the PPL-ILs/Fe3O4@MOF were also higher than those of other samples. The ester yield reached 75.1% when the biocatalyst was used to synthesize isoamyl acetate in hexane. The synthesized supports supplied a good microenvironment for the immobilized lipase through multiple interactions. Results of the structural analysis showed that the conformation state of lipase molecules changed after immobilization. The magnetism of the prepared biocatalyst makes it easy to recycle so that PPL-ILs/Fe3O4@MOF maintained 70.2% of the initial activity after eight cycles. The prepared composite materials exhibited good potential in lipase immobilization with enhanced catalytic ability and stability.

Abstract
Rationally designing carriers to obtain efficient and stable immobilized enzymes for the production of food raw materials is always a challenge. In this work, hollow cube carbon (HMC) as a carrier of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) was prepared to construct a Pickering interfacial biocatalysis system, which was applied to biphasic biocatalysis. For comparison, the nonporous carbon (HC) and porous MoS2 (HMoS2) were also designed. On these grounds, p-NPP and linolenic acid were selected as the representative substrates for hydrolysis and esterification reactions. Under the optimal conditions, the protein loading amount, specific activity, and expressed activity of CRL immobilized on HMC (HMC@CRL) were 167.2 mg g-1, 5.41 U mg-1, and 32.34 U/mg protein, respectively. In the "oil-water" biphase, the relative hydrolytic activity of HMC@CRL was higher than that of HC@CRL, HMoS2@CRL, and CRL by 50, 68, and 80%, respectively, as well as itself in one phase. Compared to other reports (1.13%), HMC@CRL demonstrated a satisfactory hydrolysis rate (3.02%) and was the fastest among all other biocatalysts in the biphase. Moreover, compared with the free CRL in one-phase system, the Pickering interfacial biphasic biocatalyst, HMC@CRL, exhibited a higher esterification rate (85%, 2.7-fold enhancement). Therefore, the HMC@CRL nanoreactors had more optimal performance in the field of biomanufacturing and food industry.

Abstract
According to the "interfacial activation" mechanism, constructing a sufficient interface is the key strategy for lipase-catalytic system designing. Based on the "infinite interface in finite three-dimensional space" logic, in the current study, poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA)-polybutyl methacrylate (PBMA) hybrid gels were prepared by a two-step crosslinking strategy, subsequently constructed as lipase-interfacial catalytic systems. The results confirm that the PDMA-PBMA hybrid gels with "networks in pores" structures could swell both the aqueous phase and organic phase. The balance between water swelling and isooctane swelling, hybrid gel space (height control), and the lipase entry manner significantly affect the interface construction and consequently the catalytic efficiency. The enzyme-substrate contact rate affected by swelling leads to three catalytic stages. Considering the spatial barrier and distribution of lipases, a potential high-performance lipase reactor can be assembled from small-size, lamellar-like, and porous hybrid gels. The reactors also show good time storage and low temperature tolerance.

Abstract
A novel lignin-enhanced graphene aerogel (LGA) was prepared by one-step hydrothermal synthesis, and lipase from Pseudomonas sp. (PSL) was immobilized on LGA successfully by interfacial activation. The catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of LGA-PSL for the preparation of (S)-2-octanol by an enantioselective transesterification were improved obviously. The characterization of LGA and LGA-PSL was performed. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated the formation of numerous electrostatic and hydrogen bonds between lignin and graphene in the aerogel structure. In addition, the specific surface area pore size analyzer (BET) test proved that the introduction of lignin significantly increased the specific surface area and pore size of the aerogel material, which improved the immobilization efficiency of lipase in the aerogel. The introduction of lignin has changed the original lamellar structure of the graphene oxide (GO) aerogels. The lignin cross-linked with the GO lamellae through hydrogen bonding, causing a porous structure to form between the original lamellae, thus increasing their specific surface area. The immobilized lipase (LGA-PSL) was used for the preparation of (S)-2-octanol by an enantioselective transesterification, and the reaction conditions for this enzymatic transesterification had been optimized. LGA-PSL exhibited a high catalytic performance and could be reused four times in this reaction. Based on these results, LGA as an immobilization carrier had potential applications in the industrial application of lipase.

Abstract
Efficient lipase catalysis requires sufficient oil-water interface engineered through structural design. Inspired by the architectural features of fabrics, a novel lipase-membrane catalytic system with interwoven polyacrylic acid (PAA) gel fibers and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) gel fibers was developed in this study by using double-needle electrospinning and gelation. It has been demonstrated that PAA/PVP hybrid gel fiber membranes (HGFMs) have a high swelling capacity for both water and oil phases, which created numerous discontinuous oil-water contact surface units in limited space of HGFMs, consequently forming effective interfacial catalytic systems. Volume competition between the water and oil phases suggests that balancing the proportions of these phases is very important for effective construction of oil-water interfaces and conditioning catalysis. Regulation of multiple factors of PAA/PVP HGFMs resulted in a catalytic efficiency of up to 2.1 times that of a macroscopic "oil-up/water-down" system (room temperature, pH = 7), and 2.9 times when three membranes are superimposed, as well as excellent pH and temperature stability. HGFMs were stacked to build a high-performing catalytic performance reactor. We expect that this study will be a beneficial exploration for expanding the lipase catalytic system.

Abstract
Rice bran oil (RBO) contains a variety of nutrients, but the high acid values largely hinder its processing into edible oil. Thus, the tandem continuous-flow reactors are proposed and developed for the enzymatic deacidification of RBO and simultaneous production of functional oils. The results indicate that the Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) immobilized on the hydrophobic ordered mesoporous silicon (OMS-C18) increased 6.6 times of the catalytic activity and improved at least 20 ℃ of temperature tolerance compared to the commercial Novozym 435. The tandem continuous-flow enzymatic reactors removed 91.4% of free fatty acid and increased 9 and 12 times of phytosterol ester and diacylglycerol in RBO, respectively. Moreover, the retention rate of γ-oryzanol was at least 40% higher than that obtained by traditional alkali refining. This study provides an effective and sustainable method to continuously convert the low-value RBO into value-added products, which brings huge potential to cleaner industrial production.

Abstract
Processes involving lipases in obtaining active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are crucial to increase the sustainability of the industry. Despite their lower production cost, microbial lipases are striking for their versatile catalyzing reactions beyond their physiological role. In the context of taking advantage of microbial lipases in reactions for the synthesis of API building blocks, this review focuses on: (i) the structural origins of the catalytic properties of microbial lipases, including the results of techniques such as single particle monitoring (SPT) and the description of its selectivity beyond the Kazlauskas rule as the “Mirror-Image Packing” or the “Key Region(s) rule influencing enantioselectivity” (KRIE); (ii) immobilization methods given the conferred operative advantages in industrial applications and their modulating capacity of lipase properties; and (iii) a comprehensive description of microbial lipases use as a conventional or promiscuous catalyst in key reactions in the organic synthesis (Knoevenagel condensation, Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reactions, Markovnikov additions, Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, racemization, among others). Finally, this review will also focus on a research perspective necessary to increase microbial lipases application development towards a greener industry.

Abstract
Graphene-based materials are widely used in the field of immobilized enzymes due to their easily tunable interfacial properties. We designed amphiphilic nanobiological interfaces between graphene oxide (GO) and lipase TL (Thermomyces lanuginosus) with tunable reduction degrees through molecular dynamics simulations and a facile chemical modulation, thus revealing the optimal interface for the interfacial activation of lipase TL and addressing the weakness of lipase TL, which exhibits weak catalytic activity due to an inconspicuous active site lid. It was demonstrated that the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) after 4 h of ascorbic acid reduction could boost the relative enzyme activity of lipase TL to reach 208%, which was 48% higher than the pristine GO and 120% higher than the rGO after 48 h of reduction. Moreover, TL-GO-4 h's tolerance against heat, organic solvent, and long-term storage environment was higher than that of free TL. The drawbacks of strong hydrophobic nanomaterials on lipase production were explored in depth with the help of molecular dynamics simulations, which explained the mechanism of enzyme activity enhancement. We demonstrated that nanomaterials with certain hydrophilicity could facilitate the lipase to undergo interfacial activation and improve its stability and protein loading rate, displaying the potential of the extensive application.

Abstract
The catalytic activity of Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) immobilized on modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) with different hydrophobicity was investigated using experimental and theoretical approaches. Firstly, the modified CNC were characterized by multi-spectroscopic methods, water contact angle, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Moderately hydrophobic CNC were found to be an optimal support for CALB immobilization. Secondly, model systems contained a CALB molecule and different numbers of modified CNC molecules (CALB@3CNC-C16, CALB@10CNC-C16 and CALB@15CNC-C16) were prepared for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Root-mean-square fluctuation values (0.61-2.61 Å) of lid region were relatively high in CALB@10CNC-C16, indicating that modified CNC with moderate hydrophobicity favored forming a lid-open conformation of CALB. Finally, the esterification of oleic acid catalyzed by the immobilized CALB showed higher conversion (54.68 %) than free CALB (12.98 %). Insights into modified CNC with tunable properties provided by this study may be a potential support for improving the catalytic performance of lipases.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials such as graphene are increasingly used in research and industry for various biomedical applications. Extensive experimental and theoretical studies have revealed that 2D nanomaterials are promising drug delivery vehicles, yet certain materials exhibit toxicity under biological conditions. So far, it is known that 2D nanomaterials possess strong adsorption propensities for biomolecules. To mitigate potential toxicity and retain favorable physical and chemical properties of 2D nanomaterials, it is necessary to explore the underlying mechanisms of interactions between biomolecules and nanomaterials for the subsequent design of biocompatible 2D nanomaterials for nanomedicine. The purpose of this review is to integrate experimental findings with theoretical observations and facilitate the study of 2D nanomaterial interaction with biomolecules at the molecular level. We discuss the current understanding and progress of 2D nanomaterial interaction with proteins, lipid membranes, and DNA based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In this review, we focus on the 2D graphene nanosheet and briefly discuss other 2D nanomaterials. With the ever-growing computing power, we can image nanoscale processes using MD simulation that are otherwise not observable in experiment. We expect that molecular characterization of the complex behavior between 2D nanomaterials and biomolecules will help fulfill the goal of designing effective 2D nanomaterials as drug delivery platforms.

Abstract
The applications of lipases in esterification, amidation, and transesterification have broadened their potential in the production of fine compounds with high cumulative values. Mostly, the catalytic triad of lipases is covered by either one or two mobile peptides called the "lid" that control the substrate channel to the catalytic center. The lid holds unique conformational allostery via interfacial activation to regulate the dynamics and catalytic functions of lipases, thereby highlighting its importance in redesigning these enzymes for industrial applications. The structural characteristic of lipase, the dynamics of lids, and the roles of lid in lipase catalysis were summarized, providing opportunities for rebuilding lid region by biotechniques (e.g., metagenomic technology and protein engineering) and enzyme immobilization. The review focused on the advantages and disadvantages of strategies rebuilding the lid region. The main shortcomings of biotechnologies on lid rebuilding were discussed such as negative effects on lipase (e.g., a decrease of activity). Additionally, the main shortcomings (e.g., enzyme desorption at high temperatre) in immobilization on hydrophobic supports via interfacial action were presented. Solutions to the mentioned problems were proposed by combinations of computational design with biotechnologies, and improvements of lipase immobilization (e.g., immobilization protocols and support design). Finally, the review provides future perspectives about designing hyperfunctional lipases as biocatalysts in the food industry based on lid conformation and dynamics.

Abstract
In this study, a continuous-flow bioreactor packed with well-organized lipase microarrays was developed for the sustainable synthesis of functional lipid-phytosterol esters (PEs). Hollow mesoporous silicon spheres with a suitable pore size were prepared for lipase immobilization, and the hydrophobic modification endowed the lipase with excellent catalytic activity and stability. The results showed that the condensely packed lipase microarrays offered large specific surface areas and guaranteed the thorough interaction between the lipase and substrates in the continuous-flow bioreactor. Meanwhile, the substrate could pass through the reactor at 1 mL/min with a high conversion of 93.6% due to the hollow structure of the packing spheres. Moreover, the reactors were able to produce 1564 g PEs/g catalyst in a continuous 30-day processing period, which set the highest records for PEs synthesis. This sustainable and highly-converting flow system provided a feasible path for scale-up production of PEs in the food processing area.

Abstract
The core task for lipase catalytic system design is to construct a suitable oil-water interface for lipase distribution. In comparison to the micro-oil-water interface, the macro-oil-water interface (top oil-bottom water) served as a simplified lipase catalytic system that is more in line with industrial applications but limited in catalytic efficiency. Based on the assumption that one potential carrier can help lipase reach to the macro-oil-water interface, in the current work, sandwich-type lipase-membrane bioreactors (SLMBs) fabricated by a facile layer-by-layer electrospinning process were reported. These SLMBs were composed of a hydrophilic polyamide 6 nanofibrous membrane (NFM) as the bottom layer, a blended electrospun lipase/PVA NFM as the middle layer, and a hydrophobic EC/PU NFM as the top layer. The lipase loading can be controlled by altering the electrospinning time of the middle layer. Under the optimized conditions, the catalytic efficiency of the SLMBs was 2.05 times higher than that of free lipase. In addition, the SLMBs exhibit much better pH (high activity over a broad pH range of 5-10), temperature (retained 62% at 80 °C), storage stability (no loss of activity after being stored at 4 °C for 11 days), and reusability (retained 23% after five cycles) than free lipase.

Abstract
Lipase is the most widely used enzyme in industry. Due to its unique "lid" structure, lipase can only show high activity at the oil-water interface, which means that water is needed in the catalytic esterification process. However, the traditional lipase catalytic system cannot effectively control "micro-water" in the esterification environment, resulting in the high content of free water, which hinders the esterification reaction and reduces the yield. In this paper, a promising strategy of esterification catalyzed by polyacrylamide hydrogel immobilized lipase is reported. The porous polyacrylamide hydrogel microspheres (PHM) prepared by inverse emulsion polymerization are used as carrier to adsorb lipase by hydrogen bonding interaction. These hydrogel microspheres provide a "micro-water environment" for lipase in the anhydrous reaction system, and further provide an oil-water interface for "interface activation" of lipase. The obtained lipase-porous polyacrylamide hydrogel microspheres (L-PHMs) exhibit higher temperature and pH stability compared with free lipase, and the optimum enzymatic activity reach 1350 U/g (pH 6, 40 °C). L-PHMs can still remain about 49% of their original activity after 20 reuses. Furthermore, L-PHMs have been successfully applied to catalyze the synthesis of conjugated linoleic acid ethyl ester. The results suggest that this immobilization method opens up a new way for the application of lipase in ester synthesis.

Abstract
Enzyme catalysis to power micro/nanomotors has received tremendous attention because of the vast potential in applications ranging from biomedicine to environmental remediation. However, the current design is mainly based on a complex three-dimensional (3D) architecture, with limited accessible surface areas for the catalytic sites, and thus require a higher fuel concentration to achieve active motion. Herein we report for the first time an enzyme-powered 2D nanobot, which was designed by a facile strategy based on soft nanoarchitectonics for active motion at an ultralow fuel concentration (0.003% H 2 O 2 ). The 2D nanobot exhibited efficient positive chemotactic behavior and the ability to swim against gravity by virtue of solutal buoyancy. As a proof-of-concept, the 2D nanobots showed an excellent capability for "on-the-fly" removal of methylene blue (MB) dye with an efficiency of 85%.

Abstract
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are prebiotic sugar substitutes that can be produced from sucrose using fructosyltransferases (FTases). However, the economic value of this process is limited by inefficient product purification and enzyme reusability. In this study, enzyme-free FOS preparations were produced by immobilizing the FTase on resin carriers. This also increased the catalytic selectivity of the enzyme. However, the crude FOS preparations still contained high concentrations of monosaccharide byproducts and residual disaccharides that must be removed because they lack prebiotic activity. A hybrid process was developed in which fed-batch fermentation was combined with the probiotic bacterium Bacillus coagulans (which selectively utilizes monosaccharides) and the simultaneous conversion of residual sucrose using the FTase to increase FOS purity. This process depleted the monosaccharides and increased the concentration of FOS to 130-170 g·L-1. The residual sucrose was converted to FOS by the immobilized FTase, increasing the overall purity of FOS to 92.1%.

Abstract
The artificial engineering of an enzyme's structural conformation to enhance its activity is highly desired and challenging. Anisotropic reticular chemistry, best illustrated in the case of multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs), provides a platform to modify a MOF's pore and inner-surface with functionality variations on frameworks to optimize the interior environment and to enhance the specifically targeted property. In this study, we altered the functionality and ratio of linkers in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a subclass of MOFs, with the MTV approach to demonstrate a strategy that allows us to optimize the activity of the encapsulated enzyme by continuously tuning the framework-enzyme interaction through the hydrophilicity change in the pores' microenvironment. To systematically study this interaction, we developed the component-adjustment-ternary plot (CAT) method to approach the optimal activity of the encapsulated enzyme BCL and revealed a nonlinear correlation, first incremental and then decremental, between the BCL activity and the hydrophilic linker' ratios in MTV-ZIF-8. These findings indicated there is a spatial arrangement of functional groups along the three-dimensional space across the ZIF-8 crystal with a unique sequence that could change the enzyme structure between closed-lid and open-lid conformations. These conformation changes were confirmed by FTIR spectra and fluorescence studies. The optimized BCL@ZIF-8 is not only thermally and chemically more stable than free BCL in solution, but also doubles the catalytic reactivity in the kinetic resolution reaction with 99% ee of the products.

Abstract
The immobilization of biomolecules has been a subject of interest for scientists for a long time. The organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers are a new class of nanostructures that act as a host platform for the immobilization of such biomolecules. It provides better practical applicability to these functional biomolecules while also providing superior activity and reusability when catalysis is involved. These nanostructures have a versatile and straightforward synthesis process and also exhibit enzyme mimicking activity in many cases. However, this facile synthesis involves many intricacies that require in-depth analysis to fully attain its potential as an immobilization technique. A complete account of all the factors involving the synthesis process optimisation is essential to be studied to make it commercially viable. This paper explores all the different aspects of hybrid nanoflowers which sets them apart from the conventional immobilization techniques while also giving an overview of its wide range of applications in industries.

Abstract
The effect of support hydrophobicity on lipase activity and substrate selectivity was investigated with and without Triton X-100 (TX-100). Lipases from Thermomyces lanuginosa (TL) and Alcaligenes sp. (QLM) were immobilized on graphene oxide (GO) and a range of chemically reduced graphene oxides (CRGOs) with different levels of surface hydrophobicity. Activity assays using 4-hydroxy-N-propyl-1,8-naphthalimide (NAP) esters of varying chain lengths (NAP-butyrate (NAP-B), NAP-octanoate (NAP-O), and NAP-palmitate (NAP-P)) showed that the activity of immobilized QLM and TL decreased by more than 60% on GO and 80% on CRGO (2 h), with activity decreasing further as surface hydrophobicity of the CRGOs increased. Across the hydrophobicity range of GO/CRGOs, the substrate selectivity of QLM shifted from more readily hydrolyzing NAP-P to NAP-B, while TL retained its substrate selectivity for NAP-O. Lipase TL was also shown to desorb from GO and 2 h CRGO when mixed with NAP-O and NAP-P, whereas QLM did not. Circular dichroism analyses of the lipase α-helix content correlate to the observed activity data, with decreases in the α-helical content (40% in TL and 20% in QLM relative to free lipase) consistent with decreases in activity after immobilization on GO. α-Helical content decreased even further as the surface hydrophobicity of CRGOs increased. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy also showed significant changes to the lipase secondary structure upon immobilization. The addition of TX-100 into the activity assay modified the substrate selectivity of immobilized QLM, improving the activity against NAP-O (90%) and NAP-P (67%) compared to the activity measured without TX-100. It was shown that TX-100 primarily affected the activity of QLM by interacting with the ester substrate and the lipase itself. This study provides an improved understanding of how support hydrophobicity and the presence of TX-100 can affect activity/selectivity of lipases immobilized on hydrophobic supports.

Abstract
In this study, imidazolium-based ionic liquid with [tf2N]- as the anion was successfully grafted to magnetic polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA). The prepared materials were well characterized and used as supports for lipase immobilization. The immobilized lipase (PPL-ILs-MPDA) exhibited excellent activity and stability. The specific activity of PPL-ILs-MPDA was 2.15 and 1.49 folds higher than that of free PPL and PPL-MPDA. In addition, after 10 rounds of reuse, the residual activity of PPL-ILs-MPDA was 86.2 % higher than that of PPL-MPDA (75.4 %). Furthermore, the kinetic assay indicated that the affinity between PPL-ILs-MPDA and substrate had increased. Analysis of the secondary structure using circular dichroism was used to explain the mechanism underlying the improvement in the performance of PPL-ILs-MPDA. In addition, the immobilized lipase can be easily separated from the reaction system with a magnet. The observations regarding the development of new supports for lipase immobilization may provide new ideas regarding further studies in this field.
