Abstract
Biocatalysis within biphasic systems is gaining significant attention in the field of synthetic chemistry, primarily for its ability to solve the problem of incompatible solubilities between biocatalysts and organic compounds. By forming an emulsion from these two-phase systems, a larger surface area is created, which greatly improves the mass transfer of substrates to the biocatalysts. Among the various types of emulsions, Pickering emulsions stand out due to their excellent stability, compatibility with biological substances, and the ease with which they can be formed and separated. This makes them ideal for reusing both the emulsifiers and the biocatalysts. This review explores the latest developments in biocatalysis using Pickering emulsions. It covers the structural features, methods of creation, innovations in flow biocatalysis, and the role of interfaces in these processes. Additionally, the challenges and future directions are discussed in combining chemical and biological catalysts within Pickering emulsion frameworks to advance synthetic methodologies.

Gupta RK, Patel SKS, Lee JK. Novel cofactor regeneration-based magnetic metal-organic framework for cascade enzymatic conversion of biomass-derived bioethanol to acetoin. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 408:131175. [PMID: 39084533 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.131175] [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: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Upgrading biomass-derived bioethanol to higher-order alcohols using conventional biotechnological approaches is challenging. Herein, a novel, magnetic metal-organic-framework-based cofactor regeneration system was developed using ethanol dehydrogenase (EtDH:D46G), NADH oxidase (NOX), formolase (FLS:L482S), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) for converting rice straw-derived bioethanol to acetoin. A magnetic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8@Fe3O4/NAD+ (ZIF-8@Fe3O4/NAD+) regeneration system for cell-free cascade reactions was introduced and used to encapsulate EtDH:D46G, NOX, and FLS:L482S (ENF). ZIF-8@Fe3O4/NAD+ENF created an efficient microenvironment for three-step enzyme cascades. Under the optimized conditions, the yield of acetoin from 100 mM bioethanol using ZIF-8@Fe3O4/NAD+ENF was 90.4 %. The regeneration system showed 97.1 % thermostability at 50 °C. The free enzymes retained only 16.3 % residual conversion, compared with 91.2 % for ZIF-8@Fe3O4/NAD+ENF after ten cycles. The magnetic metal-organic-framework-based cofactor regeneration system is suitable for enzymatic cascade biotransformations and can be extended to other cascade systems for potential biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are favorable hosting materials for fixing enzymes to construct enzyme@MOF composites and to expand the applications of biocatalysts. However, the rigid structure of MOFs without tunable hollow voids and a confinement effect often limits their catalytic activities. Taking advantage of the smart soft polymers to overcome the limitation, herein, a protection protocol to encapsulate the enzyme in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was developed using a glutathione-sensitive liposome (L) as a soft template. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were first anchored on a light- and thermoresponsive porous poly(styrene-maleic anhydride-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-spiropyran) membrane (PSMDSP) to produce PSMDSP@GOx-HRP, which could provide a confinement effect by switching the UV irradiation or varying the temperature. Afterward, embedding PSMDSP@GOx-HRP in L and encapsulating PSMDSP@GOx-HRP@L into hollow ZIF-8 (HZIF-8) to form PSMDSP@GOx-HRP@HZIF-8 composites were performed, which proceeded during the crystallization of the framework following the removal of L by adding glutathione. Impressively, the biocatalytic activity of the composites was 4.45-fold higher than that of the free enzyme under UV irradiation at 47 °C, which could benefit from the confinement effect of PSMDSP and the conformational freedom of the enzyme in HZIF-8. The proposed composites contributed to the protection of the enzyme against harsh conditions and exhibited superior stability. Furthermore, a colorimetric assay based on the composites for the detection of serum glucose was established with a linearity range of 0.05-5.0 mM, and the calculated LOD value was 0.001 mM in a cascade reaction system. This work provides a universal design idea and a versatile technique to immobilize enzymes on soft polymer membranes that can be encapsulated in porous rigid MOF-hosts. It also holds potential for the development of smart polymer@enzyme@HMOFs biocatalysts with a tunable confinement effect and high catalytic performance.

Abstract
Developing efficient technologies to eliminate or degrade contaminants is paramount for environmental protection. Biocatalytic decontamination offers distinct advantages in terms of selectivity and efficiency; however, it still remains challenging when applied in complex environmental matrices. The main challenge originates from the instability and difficult-to-separate attributes of fragile enzymes, which also results in issues of compromised activity, poor reusability, low cost-effectiveness, etc. One viable solution to harness biocatalysis in complex environments is known as enzyme immobilization, where a flexible enzyme is tightly fixed in a solid carrier. In the case where a reticular crystal is utilized as the support, it is feasible to engineer next-generation biohybrid catalysts functional in complicated environmental media. This can be interpreted by three aspects: (1) the highly crystalline skeleton can shield the immobilized enzyme against external stressors. (2) The porous network ensures the high accessibility of the interior enzyme for catalytic decontamination. And (3) the adjustable and unambiguous structure of the reticular framework favors in-depth understanding of the interfacial interaction between the framework and enzyme, which can in turn guide us in designing highly active biocomposites. This Review aims to introduce this emerging biocatalysis technology for environmental decontamination involving pollutant degradation and greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) conversion, with emphasis on the enzyme immobilization protocols and diverse catalysis principles including single enzyme catalysis, catalysis involving enzyme cascades, and photoenzyme-coupled catalysis. Additionally, the remaining challenges and forward-looking directions in this field are discussed. We believe that this Review may offer a useful biocatalytic technology to contribute to environmental decontamination in a green and sustainable manner and will inspire more researchers at the intersection of the environment science, biochemistry, and materials science communities to co-solve environmental problems.

Abstract
κ-Carrageenase can degrade κ-carrageenan to produce bioactive κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides (KCOs) that have potential applications in pharmaceutical, food, agricultural, and cosmetics industries. Immobilized enzymes gain their popularity due to their good reusability, enhanced stability, and tunability. In this study, the previously characterized catalytic domain of Pseudoalteromonas purpurea κ-carrageenase was covalently immobilized on the synthesized amine-modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles with the formation of cross-linked enzyme aggregates, and the immobilized κ-carrageenase was further characterized. The immobilized κ-carrageenase demonstrated excellent pH stability and good reusability, and exhibited higher optimal reaction temperature, better thermostability, and extended storage stability compared with the free enzyme. The KCOs produced by the immobilized κ-carrageenase could significantly decrease the TC, TG, and LDL-C levels in HepG2 cells, increase the HDL-C level in HepG2 cells, and reduce the free fatty acids level in Caco-2 cells. Biochemical assays showed that the KCOs could activate AMPK activity, increase the ratios of p-AMPK/AMPK and p-ACC/ACC, and downregulate the expression of the lipid metabolism related proteins including SREBP1 and HMGCR in the hyperlipidemic HepG2 cells. This study provides a novel and effective method for immobilization of κ-carrageenase, and the KCOs produced by the immobilized enzyme could be a potential therapeutic agent to prevent hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Efficient enzyme immobilization is crucial for the successful commercialization of large-scale enzymatic water treatment. However, issues such as lack of high enzyme loading coupled with enzyme leaching present challenges for the widespread adoption of immobilized enzyme systems. The present study describes the development and bioremediation application of an enzyme biocomposite employing a cationic macrocycle-based covalent organic framework (COF) with hierarchical porosity for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The intrinsic hierarchical porous features of the azacalix[4]arene-based COF (ACA-COF) allowed for a maximum HRP loading capacity of 0.76 mg/mg COF with low enzyme leaching (<5.0 %). The biocomposite, HRP@ACA-COF, exhibited exceptional thermal stability (∼200 % higher relative activity than the free enzyme), and maintained ∼60 % enzyme activity after five cycles. LCMSMS analyses confirmed that the HRP@ACA-COF system was able to achieve > 99 % degradation of seven diverse types of emerging pollutants (2-mercaptobenzothiazole, paracetamol, caffeic acid, methylparaben, furosemide, sulfamethoxazole, and salicylic acid)in under an hour. The described enzyme-COF system offers promise for efficient wastewater bioremediation applications.

Abstract
As an efficient alternative for harnessing the energy from human's biofluid, a wearable energy harvesting-storage hybrid supercapacitor-biofuel cell (SC-BFC) microfluidic system is established with one multifunctional electrode. The electrode integrates metal-organic framework (MOF) derived carbon nanoarrays with embedded Au, Co nanoparticles on a flexible substrate, and is used for the symmetric supercapacitor as well as the enzyme nanocarriers of the biofuel cell. The electrochemical performance of the proposed electrode is evaluated, and the corresponding working mechanism is studied in depth according to the cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory calculation. The multiplexed microfluidic system is designed to pump and store natural sweat to maintain the continuous biofuel supply in the hybrid SC-BFC system. The biofuel cell module harvests electricity from lactate in sweat, and the symmetric supercapacitor module accommodates the bioelectricity for subsequent utilization. A numerical model is developed to validate the normal operation in poor and rich sweat under variable situations for the microfluidic system. One single SC-BFC unit can be self-charged to ≈0.8 V with superior mechanical durability in on-body testing, as well as energy and power values of 7.2 mJ and 80.3 µW, respectively. It illustrates the promising scenery of energy harvesting-storage hybrid microfluidic system.

Abstract
Addressing the critical issue of water pollution, this review article emphasizes the need to remove hazardous dyes and phenolic compounds from wastewater. These pollutants pose severe risks due to their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties. The study explores various techniques for the remediation of organic contaminants from wastewater, including an enzymatic approach. A significant challenge in enzymatic wastewater treatment is the loss of enzyme activity and difficulty in recovery post-treatment. To mitigate these issues, this review examines the strategy of immobilizing enzymes on newly developed nanostructured materials like graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These materials offer high surface areas, excellent porosity, and ample anchoring sites for effective enzyme immobilization. The review evaluates recent research on enzyme immobilization on these supports and their applications in biocatalytic nanoparticles. It also analyzes the impact of operational factors (e.g., time, pH, and temperature) on dye and phenolic compound removal from wastewater using these enzymes. Despite promising outcomes, this review acknowledges the challenges for large-scale implementation and offers recommendations for future research to tackle these obstacles. This review concludes by suggesting that enzyme immobilization on these emerging materials could present a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution to the escalating water pollution crisis.

[PMID: 37290626 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Micropollutants contamination and global warming are critical environmental issues that require urgent attention due to natural and anthropogenic activities posing serious threats to human health and ecosystems. However, traditional technologies (such as adsorption, precipitation, biodegradation, and membrane separation et al.) are facing challenges of low utilization efficiency of oxidants, poor selectivity, and complex in-situ monitoring operations. To address these technical bottlenecks, nanobiohybrids, synthesized by interfacing the nanomaterials and biosystems, have recently emerged as eco-friendly technologies. In this review, we summarize the synthesis approaches of nanobiohybrids and their utilization as emerging environmental technologies for addressing environmental problems. Studies demonstrate that enzymes, cells, and living plants can be integrated with a wide range of nanomaterials including reticular frameworks, semiconductor nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes. Moreover, nanobiohybrids demonstrate excellent performance for micropollutant removal, carbon dioxide conversion, and sensing of toxic metal ions and organic micropollutants. Therefore, nanobiohybrids are expected to be environmental friendly, efficient, and cost-effective techniques for addressing environmental micropollutants issues and mitigating global warming, benefiting both humans and ecosystems alike.

Abstract
Multi-pesticides pollution induced by organophosphorus insecticides (OPs) and aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides (AOPPs) has become a significant challenge in bioremediation of water pollution due to their prolonged and over application. Though a number of physical, chemical, and biological approaches have been developed for different pesticides, the explorations usually focus on eliminating single pesticide pollution. Herein, a heterostructure nanocomposite OPH/QpeH@mZIF-8, encapsulating OPs hydrolase OPH and AOPPs hydrolase QpeH in the magnetic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (mZIF-8), was synthesized through a facile one-pot method in aqueous solution. The immobilized OPH and QpeH in mZIF-8 showed high activities towards the two most common OPs and AOPPs, i.e., chlorpyrifos and quizalofop-P-ethyl, which were hydrolyzed to 3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridino (TCP) and quizalofop acid, respectively. Moreover, the magnetic nanocatalyst possessed great tolerance towards broad pH range, high temperatures, and different chemical solvents and excellent recyclability. More importantly, compared to free OPH and QpeH, OPH/QpeH@mZIF-8, with significantly enhanced degradation capability, exhibited enormous potential for simultaneous removal of chlorpyrifos and quizalofop-p-ethyl from the surface and industrial wastewater. Overall, the study demonstrates the applicability of this strategy for utilizing magnetic nanocatalysts encapsulating multiple enzymes due to its simplicity, high efficiency, and economic benefits to removing pesticide compound pollution from various water resources.

Abstract
Enzyme-incorporated composites with hierarchical porous structures can lead to improved performance of hybrid biocatalysts. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as excellent biomineralizable materials for forming hybrid biocatalysts, offering superior performance for biocatalytic reactions. However, the small nanopores of MOFs significantly reduce the diffusion rates of small substrate molecules, hindering the contact between the inner active sites of an enzyme and the molecules, lowering the biocatalytic efficiency. Here, we used a solution-phase self-assembly method for preparing macroporous hierarchical porous architectures of a copper 5-(ethylthio)-1H-tetrazole [Cu(ett)] MOF, the distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry of which is favourable for producing macropores. Notably, the formation of [Cu(ett)] MOF hybrid biocatalysts is achieved via an in situ mineralization of enzymes, but without changes in the hierarchical porous structure. These properties lead to excellent catalytic activities as they decrease the inherent barriers to accelerate the diffusion rate of reactants. Moreover, the developed hierarchical porous MOFs demonstrated outstanding tolerance to inhospitable surroundings and favourable storage stability at room temperature.

Abstract
Different classes of artificial pollutants, collectively called emerging pollutants, are detected in various water bodies, including lakes, rivers, and seas. Multiple studies have shown the devastating effects these emerging pollutants can have on human and aquatic life. The main reason for these emerging pollutants in the aquatic environment is their incomplete removal in the existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Several additional treatments that could potentially supplement existing WWTPs to eliminate these pollutants include a range of physicochemical and biological methods. The use of enzymes, specifically, oxidoreductases, are increasingly being studied for their ability to degrade different classes of organic compounds. These enzymes have been immobilized on different supports to promote their adoption as a cost-effective and recyclable remediation approach. Unfortunately, some of these techniques have shown a negative effect on the enzyme, including denaturation and loss of catalytic activity. This review focuses on the major challenges facing researchers working on the immobilization of peroxidases and the recent progress that has been made in this area. It focuses on four major areas: (1) stability of enzymes upon immobilization, enzyme engineering, and evolution; (2) recyclability and reusability, including immobilization on membranes and solid supports; (3) cost associated with enzyme-based remediation; and (4) scaling-up and bioreactors.

Abstract
Enzymes are promising catalysts with high selectivity and activity under mild reaction conditions. However, their practical application has largely been hindered by their high cost and poor stability. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as host materials show potential in protecting proteins against denaturing conditions, but a systematic study investigating the stabilizing mechanism is still lacking. In this study, we stabilized enzyme cytochrome c (cyt c) by encapsulating it in a hierarchical mesoporous zirconium-based MOF, NU-1000 against denaturing organic solvents. Cyt c@NU-1000 showed a significantly enhanced activity compared to the native enzyme, and the composite retained this enhanced activity after treatment with five denaturing organic solvents. Moreover, the composite was recyclable without activity loss for at least three cycles. Our cyt c@NU-1000 model system demonstrates that enzyme@MOF composites prepared via post-synthetic encapsulation offer a promising route to overcome the challenges of enzyme stability and recyclability that impede the widespread adoption of biocatalysis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit an exceptional surface area-to-volume ratio, variable pore sizes, and selective binding, and hence, there is an ongoing effort to advance their processability for broadening their utilization in different applications. In this work, we demonstrate a general scheme for fabricating freestanding MOF-embedded polymeric fibers, in which the fibers themselves act as microreactors for the in situ growth of the MOF crystals. The MOF-embedded fibers are obtained via a two-step process, in which, initially, polymer solutions containing the MOF precursors are electrospun to obtain microfibers, and then, the growth of MOF crystals is initiated and performed via antisolvent-induced crystallization. Using this approach, we demonstrate the fabrication of composite microfibers containing two types of MOFs: copper (II) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (HKUST-1) and zinc (II) 2-methylimidazole (ZIF-8). The MOF crystals grow from the fiber's core toward its outer rims, leading to exposed MOF crystals that are well rooted within the polymer matrix. The MOF fibers obtained using this method can reach lengths of hundreds of meters and exhibit mechanical strength that allows arranging them into dense, flexible, and highly durable nonwoven meshes. We also examined the use of the MOF fiber meshes for the immobilization of the enzymes catalase and horse radish peroxidase (HRP), and the enzyme-MOF fabrics exhibit improved performance. The MOF-embedded fibers, demonstrated in this work, hold promise for different applications including separation of specific chemical species, selective catalysis, and sensing and pave the way to new MOF-containing performance fabrics and active membranes.
