Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:133991. [PMID: 39089904 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133991] [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: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), as mimics of human milk oligosaccharides, are important prebiotics for modulating the ecological balance of intestinal microbiota. A novel carrier-free cell immobilization method was established using genipin to cross-link Kluyveromyces lactis CGMCC 2.1494, which produced β-galactosidase, an enzyme essential for GOS synthesis. The resulting immobilized cells were characterized as stable by thermogravimetric analysis and confirmed to be crosslinked through scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The Km and Vmax values of β-galactosidase in immobilized cells towards o-nitrophenyl β-D-galactoside were determined to be 3.446 mM and 2210 μmol min-1 g-1, respectively. The enzyme in the immobilized showed higher thermal and organic solvent tolerance compared to that in free cells. The immobilized cells were subsequently employed for GOS synthesis using plant-derived galactose as the substrate. The synthetic reaction conditions were optimized through both single-factor experiments and response surface methodology, resulting in a high yield of 49.1 %. Moreover, the immobilized cells showed good reusability and could be reused for at least 20 batches of GOS synthesis, with the enzyme activity remaining above 70 % at 35 °C.

Abstract
The catalytic efficiency of enzymes can be harnessed as an environmentally friendly solution for decontaminating various xenobiotics and toxins. However, for some xenobiotics, several enzymatic steps are needed to obtain nontoxic products. Another challenge is the low durability and stability of many native enzymes in their purified form. Herein, we coupled peptide-based encapsulation of bacterial phosphotriesterase with soil-originated bacteria, Arthrobacter sp. 4Hβ as an efficient system capable of biodegradation of paraoxon, a neurotoxin pesticide. Specifically, recombinantly expressed and purified methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH), with high hydrolytic activity toward paraoxon, was encapsulated within peptide nanofibrils, resulting in increased shelf life and retaining ∼50% activity after 132 days since purification. Next, the addition of Arthrobacter sp. 4Hβ, capable of degrading para-nitrophenol (PNP), the hydrolysis product of paraoxon, which is still toxic, resulted in nondetectable levels of PNP. These results present an efficient one-pot system that can be further developed as an environmentally friendly solution, coupling purified enzymes and native bacteria, for pesticide bioremediation. We further suggest that this system can be tailored for different xenobiotics by encapsulating the rate-limiting key enzymes followed by their combination with environmental bacteria that can use the enzymatic step products for full degradation without the need to engineer synthetic bacteria.

Abstract
The applications of hydrogels have expanded significantly due to their versatile, highly tunable properties and breakthroughs in biomaterial technologies. In this review, we cover the major achievements and the potential of hydrogels in therapeutic applications, focusing primarily on two areas: emerging cell-based therapies and promising non-cell therapeutic modalities. Within the context of cell therapy, we discuss the capacity of hydrogels to overcome the existing translational challenges faced by mainstream cell therapy paradigms, provide a detailed discussion on the advantages and principal design considerations of hydrogels for boosting the efficacy of cell therapy, as well as list specific examples of their applications in different disease scenarios. We then explore the potential of hydrogels in drug delivery, physical intervention therapies, and other non-cell therapeutic areas (e.g., bioadhesives, artificial tissues, and biosensors), emphasizing their utility beyond mere delivery vehicles. Additionally, we complement our discussion on the latest progress and challenges in the clinical application of hydrogels and outline future research directions, particularly in terms of integration with advanced biomanufacturing technologies. This review aims to present a comprehensive view and critical insights into the design and selection of hydrogels for both cell therapy and non-cell therapies, tailored to meet the therapeutic requirements of diverse diseases and situations.

Abstract
Multiple enzyme-induced cascade catalysis has an indispensable role in the process of complex life activities, and is widely used to construct robust biosensors for analyzing various targets. The immobilized multi-enzyme cascade catalysis system is a novel biomimetic catalysis strategy that immobilizes various enzymes with different functions in stable carriers to simulate the synergistic catalysis of multiple enzymes in biological systems, which enables high stability of enzymes and efficiency enzymatic cascade catalysis. Nanozymes, a type of nanomaterial with intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics and excellent stabilities, are also widely applied instead of enzymes to construct immobilized cascade systems, achieving better catalytic performance and reaction stability. Due to good stability, reusability, and remarkably high efficiency, the immobilized multi-enzyme/nanozyme biomimetic cascade catalysis systems show distinct advantages in promoting signal transduction and amplification, thereby attracting vast research interest in biosensing applications. This review focuses on the research progress of the immobilized multi-enzyme/nanozyme biomimetic cascade catalysis systems in recent years. The construction approaches, factors affecting the efficiency, and applications for sensitive biosensing are discussed in detail. Further, their challenges and outlooks for future study are also provided.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a critical post-translational protein modification that affects folding, half-life and functionality. Glycosylation is a non-templated and heterogeneous process because of the promiscuity of the enzymes involved. We describe a platform for sequential glycosylation reactions for tailored sugar structures (SUGAR-TARGET) that allows bespoke, controlled N-linked glycosylation in vitro enabled by immobilized enzymes produced with a one-step immobilization/purification method. We reconstruct a reaction cascade mimicking a glycosylation pathway where promiscuity naturally exists to humanize a range of proteins derived from different cellular systems, yielding near-homogeneous glycoforms. Immobilized β-1,4-galactosyltransferase is used to enhance the galactosylation profile of three IgGs, yielding 80.2-96.3% terminal galactosylation. Enzyme recycling is demonstrated for a reaction time greater than 80 h. The platform is easy to implement, modular and reusable and can therefore produce homogeneous glycan structures derived from various hosts for functional and clinical evaluation.

Abstract
A novel affinity peptide orientation and light-controlled covalent immobilized method was developed. Sucrose isomerase (SI) was selected as the model enzyme. Molecular simulation was first performed to select the targeted immobilization region. Subsequently, a short peptide (H2N-VNIGGX-COOH, VG) with high affinity to this region was rationally designed. Thereafter, 4-benzoyl-l-phenylalanine with the photosensitive group of benzophenone was introduced. Then, the affinity between the ligand and the SI was validated using molecular dynamics simulation. Thereafter, the SI was directionally immobilized onto the surface of the epoxy resin (EP) guided by VG via photo-crosslinking, and thus the oriented photo-crosslinking enzymes were obtained. The enzymatic activity, thermostability, and reusability of the affinity directional photo-crosslinked immobilized sucrose isomerase (hv-EP-VG-SI) were systematically studied. The oriented immobilization enzymes were significantly improved in recycling and heat resistance. Moreover, hv-EP-VG-SI retained more than 90% of the original activity and 50% of the activity after 11 cycles.

Economical synthesis of γ-cyclodextrin catalyzed by oriented cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase displayed on bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate nanogranules. Microb Cell Fact 2023; 22:181. [PMID: 37704986 PMCID: PMC10500893 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-023-02191-2] [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: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The advantages of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) include its high solubility, ability to form inclusion complexes with various poorly water-soluble molecules, and favorable toxicological profile; thus, γ-CD is an attractive functional excipient widely used in many industrial settings. Unfortunately, the high cost of γ-CD caused by the low activity and stability of γ-cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (γ-CGTase) has hampered large-scale production and application. RESULTS This study reports the in vivo one-step production of immobilized γ-CGTase decorated on the surface of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) nanogranules by the N-terminal fusion of γ-CGTase to PHA synthase via a designed linker. The immobilized γ-CGTase-PHA nanogranules showed outstanding cyclization activity of 61.25 ± 3.94 U/mg (γ-CGTase protein) and hydrolysis activity of 36,273.99 ± 1892.49 U/mg, 44.74% and 18.83% higher than that of free γ-CGTase, respectively. The nanogranules also exhibited wider optimal pH (cyclization activity 7.0-9.0, hydrolysis activity 10.0-11.0) and temperature (55-60 °C) ranges and remarkable thermo- and pH-stability, expanding its utility to adapt to wider and more severe reaction conditions than the free enzyme. A high yield of CDs (22.73%) converted from starch and a high ratio (90.86%) of γ-CD in the catalysate were achieved at pH 9.0 and 50 °C for 10 h with 1 mmol/L K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ added to the reaction system. Moreover, γ-CGTase-PHA beads can be used at least eight times, retaining 82.04% of its initial hydrolysis activity and 75.73% of its initial cyclization activity. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a promising nanobiocatalyst for the cost-efficient production of γ-CD, which could greatly facilitate process control and economize the production cost.

Efficiency Assessment between Entrapment and Covalent Bond Immobilization of Mutant β-Xylosidase onto Chitosan Support. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3170. [PMID: 37571063 PMCID: PMC10421103 DOI: 10.3390/polym15153170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The Y509E mutant of β-xylosidase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (XynB2Y509E) (which also bears xylanase activity) has been immobilized in chitosan spheres through either entrapment or covalent bond formation methods. The maximum immobilization yield by entrapment was achieved by chitosan beads developed using a 2% chitosan solution after 1 h of maturation time in CFG buffer with ethanol. On the other hand, the highest value in covalent bond immobilization was observed when employing chitosan beads that were prepared from a 2% chitosan solution after 4 h of activation in 1% glutaraldehyde solution at pH 8. The activity expressed after immobilization by covalent bonding was 23% higher compared to the activity expressed following entrapment immobilization, with values of 122.3 and 99.4 IU.g-1, respectively. Kinetic data revealed that catalytic turnover values were decreased as compared to a free counterpart. Both biocatalysts showed increased thermal and pH stability, along with an improved storage capacity, as they retained 88% and 40% of their activity after being stored at 4 °C for two months. Moreover, XynB2Y509E immobilized by covalent binding also exhibited outstanding reusability, retaining 92% of activity after 10 cycles of reuse. In conclusion, our results suggest that the covalent bond method appears to be the best choice for XynB2Y509E immobilization.

Abstract
Herein, tyrosol [2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) ethanol], which is rich in olive oil and red wine, was converted to a novel bioactive galactoside by enzymic glycosylation. The gene of α-galactosidase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus 23 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli as catalytically active inclusion bodies. The catalytically active inclusion bodies efficiently catalyzed the galactosylation of tyrosol using either melibiose or raffinose family oligosaccharides as glycosyl donors, resulting in a glycoside with 42.2 or 14.2% yields. The glycoside product was purified and identified as p-hydroxyphenethyl α-d-galactopyranoside by mass spectrometry and NMR analyses. The inclusion bodies can be recycled and reused for at least 10 batch reactions of galactoside synthesis. Moreover, the galactoside showed 11-fold increased water solubility and reduced cytotoxicity as compared to tyrosol. Also, it exhibited higher antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities than tyrosol based on lipopolysaccharide-induced activated BV2 cells. These results provided important insights into the application of tyrosol derivatives in functional foods.

Abstract
Catalytically active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) are promising biologically produced enzyme/protein immobilizates for application in biocatalysis, synthetic chemistry, and biomedicine. CatIB formation is commonly induced by fusion of suitable aggregation-inducing tags to a given target protein. Heterologous production of the fusion protein in turn yields CatIBs. This chapter presents the methodology needed to design, produce, and characterize CatIBs.

Abstract
The formation of inclusion bodies (IBs) during expression of recombinant therapeutic proteins using E. coli is a significant hurdle in producing high-quality, safe, and efficacious medicines. The improved understanding of the structure-function relationship of the IBs has resulted in the development of novel biotechnologies that have streamlined the isolation, solubilization, refolding, and purification of the active functional proteins from the bacterial IBs. Together, this overall effort promises to radically improve the scope of experimental biology of therapeutic protein production and expand new prospects in IBs usage. Notably, the IBs are increasingly used for applications in more pristine areas such as drug delivery and material sciences. In this review, we intend to provide a comprehensive picture of the bio-processing of bacterial IBs, including assessing critical gaps that still need to be addressed and potential solutions to overcome them. We expect this review to be a useful resource for those working in the area of protein refolding and therapeutic protein production.

Abstract
Enzyme-based bioremediation is a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for isolating and removing a wide range of environmental pollutants. This study is a comprehensive review of recent studies on the oxidation of pollutants by biological oxidation methods, performed individually or in combination with other methods. The main bio-oxidants capable of removing all types of pollutants, such as organic and inorganic molecules, from fungi, bacteria, algae, and plants, and different types of enzymes, as well as the removal mechanisms, were investigated. The use of mediators and modification methods to improve the performance of microorganisms and their resistance under harsh real wastewater conditions was discussed, and numerous case studies were presented and compared. The advantages and disadvantages of conventional and novel immobilization methods, and the development of enzyme engineering to adjust the content and properties of the desired enzymes, were also explained. The optimal operating parameters such as temperature and pH, which usually lead to the best performance, were presented. A detailed overview of the different combination processes was also given, including bio-oxidation in coincident or consecutive combination with adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, and membrane separation. One of the most important issues that this study has addressed is the removal of both organic and inorganic contaminants, taking into account the actual wastewaters and the economic aspect.

Abstract
A leading biotechnological advancement in the field of biocatalysis is the immobilization of enzymes on solid supports to create more stable and recyclable systems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials that have been explored as solid supports for enzyme immobilization. Composed of organic linkers and inorganic nodes, MOFs feature empty void space with large surface areas and have the ability to be modified post-synthesis. Our target enzyme system for immobilization is glucose oxidase (GOx) and chloroperoxidase (CPO). Glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose and is used for many applications in biosensing, biofuel cells, and food production. Chloroperoxidase is a fungal heme enzyme that catalyzes peroxide-dependent halogenation, oxidation, and hydroxylation. These two enzymes work sequentially in this enzyme system by GOx producing peroxide, which activates CPO that reacts with a suitable substrate. This study focuses on using a zirconium-based MOF, UiO-66-NH2, to immobilize the enzyme system via crosslinking with the MOF’s amine group on the surface of the MOF. This study investigates two different crosslinkers: disuccinimidyl glutarate (DSG) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinidimide (NHS), providing stable crosslinking of the MOF to the enzymes. The two crosslinkers are used to covalently bond CPO and GOx onto UiO-66-NH2, and a comparison of the recyclability and enzymatic activity of the single immobilization of CPO and the doubly immobilized CPO and GOx is discussed through assays and characterization analyses. The DSG-crosslinked composites displayed enhanced activity relative to the free enzyme, and all crosslinked enzyme/MOF composites demonstrated recyclability, with at least 30% of the activity being retained after four catalytic cycles. The results of this report will aid researchers in utilizing CPO as a biocatalyst that is more active and has greater recyclability.

Abstract
The covalent immobilisation of enzymes generally involves the use of highly reactive crosslinkers, such as glutaraldehyde, to couple enzyme molecules to each other or to carriers through, for example, the free amino groups of lysine residues, on the enzyme surface. Unfortunately, such methods suffer from a lack of precision. Random formation of covalent linkages with reactive functional groups in the enzyme leads to disruption of the three dimensional structure and accompanying activity losses. This review focuses on recent advances in the use of bio-orthogonal chemistry in conjunction with rec-DNA to affect highly precise immobilisation of enzymes. In this way, cost-effective combination of production, purification and immobilisation of an enzyme is achieved, in a single unit operation with a high degree of precision. Various bio-orthogonal techniques for putting this precision and elegance into enzyme immobilisation are elaborated. These include, for example, fusing (grafting) peptide or protein tags to the target enzyme that enable its immobilisation in cell lysate or incorporating non-standard amino acids that enable the application of bio-orthogonal chemistry.

Abstract
The one-pot immobilization of halophilic phenylalanine dehydrogenase from marine microorganism with metal ions modified reduced graphene oxide (CRGO) material was studied. Phenylalanine dehydrogenase was from Bacillus nanhaiensi and expressed with a C-terminal His-tag. Investigation of CRGO, CRGO-PEI, CRCO-Mn, and CRGO-PEI-Mn for one-pot purification and immobilization of phenylalanine dehydrogenase from crude enzyme solution was carried out. Enzyme activity yield rate achieved 80.0% by immobilization with CRCO-Mn, and the loading capacity was 6.7 mg/mg. Manganese ion coordination greatly improved the selectivity of the CRGO for the target His-tagged enzyme. Furthermore, the effect of NaCl concentration on the immobilization was investigated, which the loading capacity of CRGO-PEI and CRGO-Mn-PEI was increased by 10.7% and 30.6% with 1 M NaCl, respectively. The adsorption curves of crude enzyme one-pot immobilized by CRGO-Mn and purified enzyme immobilized by CRGO-Mn were similar. Therefore, one-pot immobilization strategy is promising for industrial application with advantages such as high efficiency and low cost, which shorten the pipelines for enzyme discovery towards industrial applications through the establishing of marine enzyme collections.

Abstract
In industries, enzymes are often immobilized to obtain stable preparations that can be utilized in batch and flow processes. In contrast to traditional immobilization methods that rely on carrier binding, various immobilization strategies have been recently presented that enable the simultaneous production and in vivo immobilization of enzymes. Catalytically active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) are a promising example for such in vivo enzyme immobilizates. CatIB formation is commonly induced by fusion of aggregation-inducing tags, and numerous tags, ranging from small synthetic peptides to protein domains or whole proteins, have been successfully used. However, since these systems have been characterized by different groups employing different methods, a direct comparison remains difficult, which prompted us to benchmark different CatIB-formation-inducing tags and fusion strategies. Our study highlights that important CatIB properties like yield, activity, and stability are strongly influenced by tag selection and fusion strategy. Optimization enabled us to obtain alcohol dehydrogenase CatIBs with superior activity and stability, which were subsequently applied for the first time in a flow synthesis approach. Our study highlights the potential of CatIB-based immobilizates, while at the same time demonstrating the robust use of CatIBs in flow chemistry.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is an essential technology for commercializing biocatalysis. It imparts stability, recoverability, and other valuable features that improve the effectiveness of biocatalysts. While many avenues to join an enzyme to solid phases exist, protein-mediated immobilization is rapidly developing and has many advantages. Protein-mediated immobilization allows for the binding interaction to be genetically coded, can be used to create artificial multienzyme cascades, and enables modular designs that expand the variety of enzymes immobilized. By designing around binding interactions between protein domains, they can be integrated into functional materials for protein immobilization. These materials are framed within the context of biocatalytic performance, immobilization efficiency, and stability of the materials. In this review, supports composed entirely of protein are discussed first, with systems such as cellulosomes and protein cages being discussed alongside newer technologies like spore-based biocatalysts and forizymes. Protein-composite materials such as polymersomes and protein-inorganic supraparticles are then discussed to demonstrate how protein-mediated strategies are applied to many classes of solid materials. Critical analysis and future directions of protein-based immobilization are then discussed, with a particular focus on both computational and design strategies to advance this area of research and make it more broadly applicable to many classes of enzymes.

Abstract
The weathering of selenium-rich rocks or anthropogenic activities such as mining or smelting can release selenium into the environment, posing a significant environmental risk. The increased monitoring and enforcement of selenium regulations have resulted in protocols to efficiently measure and treat selenium in water and effluent water. The principal aqueous forms of inorganic selenium are selenite (Se(IV)) and selenate (Se(VI)). Selenate, due to its oxy-anionic nature, high mobility, and lack of affinity to conventional adsorbents, is typically more difficult to treat and remove. Thus, it is proposed to remove selenate from water by first reducing it to selenite and then to insoluble elemental selenium, a form that has low toxicity. A naturally occurring selenate reductase enzyme from Thauera selenatis was previously shown to specifically reduce selenate to selenite. To exploit this functionality, recombinant enzyme technologies were used to produce a cell-free, enriched Thauera selenatis selenate reductase heterotrimeric enzyme complex (TsSer-αβγ). The addition of the recombinant enzyme complex to effluent water was found to successfully reduce the selenate. Interestingly, upon adding nitrogen-doped graphite electrodes to the reaction, the selenate-reducing activity significantly increased. Overall, these findings highlight a new, potentially sustainable solution to the reduction of selenate in water and effluent water.

Abstract
A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided, with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Ways to modify catalytic sites range from the use of the reversible or irreversible adsorption of molecular modifiers to the immobilization or tethering of homogeneous catalysts and the development of well-defined catalytic sites on solid surfaces. The latter covers methods for the dispersion of single-atom sites within solid supports as well as the use of complex nanostructures, and it includes the post-modification of materials via processes such as silylation and atomic layer deposition. All these methodologies exhibit both advantages and limitations, but all offer new avenues for the design of catalysts for specific applications. Because of the high cost of most nanotechnologies and the fact that the resulting materials may exhibit limited thermal or chemical stability, they may be best aimed at improving the selective synthesis of high value-added chemicals, to be incorporated in organic synthesis schemes, but other applications are being explored as well to address problems in energy production, for instance, and to design greener chemical processes. The details of each of these approaches are discussed, and representative examples are provided. We conclude with some general remarks on the future of this field.

Strategies for the Immobilization of Eversa® Transform 2.0 Lipase and Application for Phospholipid Synthesis. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
Eversa® Transform 2.0 lipase (ET2) is a recent lipase formulation derived from the Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase cultivated on Aspergillus oryzae and specially designed for biodiesel production. Since it has not been available for a long time, research on the efficiency of this enzyme in other applications remains unexplored. Moreover, even though it has been launched as a free enzyme, its immobilization may extend the scope of ET2 applications. This work explored ET2 immobilization on octadecyl methacrylate beads (IB-ADS-3) and proved the efficiency of the derivatives for esterification of glycerophosphocholine (GPC) with oleic acid in anhydrous systems. ET2 immobilized via interfacial activation on commercial hydrophobic support Immobead IB-ADS-3 showed maximum enzyme loading of 160 mg/g (enzyme/support) and great stability for GPC esterification under 30% butanone and solvent-free systems. For reusability, yields above 63% were achieved after six reaction cycles for GPC esterification. Considering the very high enzyme loading and the number of reuses achieved, these results suggest a potential application of this immobilized biocatalyst for esterification reactions in anhydrous media. This study is expected to encourage the exploration of other approaches for this enzyme, thereby opening up several new possibilities.

Abstract
In this short review (Perspective), we identify key features of the performance of biocatalysts developed by the immobilization of enzymes on the supports containing magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), analyzing the scientific literature for the last five years. A clear advantage of magnetic supports is their easy separation due to the magnetic attraction between magnetic NPs and an external magnetic field, facilitating the biocatalyst reuse. This allows for savings of materials and energy in the biocatalytic process. Commonly, magnetic NPs are isolated from enzymes either by polymers, silica, or some other protective layer. However, in those cases when iron oxide NPs are in close proximity to the enzyme, the biocatalyst may display a fascinating behavior, allowing for synergy of the performance due to the enzyme-like properties shown in iron oxides. Another important parameter which is discussed in this review is the magnetic support porosity, especially in hierarchical porous supports. In the case of comparatively large pores, which can freely accommodate enzyme molecules without jeopardizing their conformation, the enzyme surface ordering may create an optimal crowding on the support, enhancing the biocatalytic performance. Other factors such as surface-modifying agents or special enzyme reactor designs can be also influential in the performance of magnetic NP based immobilized enzymes.

Ulu A, Ateş B. Tailor-made shape memory stents for therapeutic enzymes: A novel approach to enhance enzyme performance. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 185:966-982.

Abstract
Herein, our suggestion is to immobilize enzymes in-situ on absorbable shape-memory stents instead of injecting therapeutic enzymes into the blood. Chitosan (CHI)-based stents were tailored as novel support and the enzyme-immobilizing ability was elucidated using L-asparaginase (L-ASNase). For developing shape-memory stents, CHI-glycerol (GLY) solution was prepared and further blended with different ratios of polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Afterward, the blends were modified by ionic crosslinking with sodium tripolyphosphate to obtain a shape-memory character. L-ASNase was included in the blends by using in-situ method before ionic crosslinking. The prepared stents, with or without L-ASNase, were comprehensively characterized by using several techniques. Collectively, immobilized L-ASNase exhibited much better performance in immobilization parameters than free one, thanks to its improved stability and reusability. For instance, CHI/GLY/PEG-3@L-ASNase retained about 70% of the initial activity after storage at 30 °C for 2 weeks, whereas the free form lost half of its initial activity. Besides, it retained 73.4% residual activity after 15 consecutive cycles. Most importantly, stent formulations exhibited ~60% activity in the bioreactor system after 4 weeks of incubation. Given the above results, shape-memory stents can be a promising candidate as a new platform for immobilization, especially in the blood circulation system.

Abstract
Haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of carbon-halogen bonds and produces alcohol, a proton and a halide. However, DhaA suffers from the poor environmental stability, such as sensitivity to high temperature, low pH, hypersaline and organic solvent. In order to improve the environmental stability of DhaA, DhaA was covalently conjugated with inulin, a hydrophilic polysaccharide in the present study. Each DhaA was averagely conjugated with 7∼8 inulin molecules. The conjugated inulin could form a hydration layer around DhaA, which increased the conformational rigidity and decreased the entropy of the enzyme. Conjugation of inulin maintained 75.5 % of the enzymatic activity of DhaA and slightly altered the structure of DhaA. As compared with DhaA, the conjugate (inu-DhaA) showed slightly different kinetic parameters (Km of 2.9 μmol/L and Kcat of 1.0 s-1). Inulin conjugation could delay the structural unfolding and/or slow the protonation process of DhaA under undesirable environment, including the long-term storage, low pH, hypersaline and organic solvent stability. As a result, the environmental stability of DhaA was markedly increased upon conjugation with inulin. Thus, inulin conjugation was an effective approach to enhance the environmental stability of DhaA.

How a crosslinker agent interacts with the β-glucosidase enzyme surface in an aqueous solution: Insight from quantum mechanics calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 203:111761.

Abstract
In this study, surficial interactions of glutaraldehyde (GA) as an important crosslinker agent with the β-glucosidase (BGL) enzyme surface were investigated by theoretical methods. Since the inherent constraints of experimental methods limit their application to find the molecular perspective of these significant interactions in enzyme immobilization, theoretical methods were used as a complementary tool to understand this concept. The Minnesota density functional calculations showed that the chair conformations of the oxane-2,6-diol form of the GA were more stable than its free aldehyde form. MD simulations of propylamine-GA molecules, as a representative of attached-GA, in aqueous solutions of different concentrations were done to determine the molecular basis of surficial interactions with the BGL surface. The root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) demonstrated that the maximum flexibility of the BGL enzyme belonged to 460-480 residues in all solutions. Based on the spatial distribution function (SDF) analysis, the active site entrance was the most favored region to accumulate solute molecules. Radial distribution function (RDF) results showed that all forms of propylamine-GA molecules interacted from their head side with the lysine residues of BGL, which Lys247, Lys376, and Lys384 were found to be the most interactive lysine residues. Also, hydrogen bond (HB) analysis from two viewpoints confirmed HB formation possibility between propylamine-GA molecules and these lysine residues. These results explained which regions of the BGL have the maximum possibility to interact and link to GA and help us in understanding the process of enzyme immobilization.

Abstract
α-Galacto-oligosaccharides (α-GOSs) have great functions as prebiotics and therapeutics. This work established the method of batch synthesis of α-GOSs by immobilized α-galactosidase for the first time, laying a foundation for industrial applications in the future. The α-galactosidase from Aspergillus niger L63 was immobilized as cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) nano-biocatalyst through enzyme precipitating and cross-linking steps without using carriers. Among the tested agents, the ammonium sulfate showed high precipitation efficacy and induced regular structures of α-galactosidase CLEAs (Aga-CLEAs) that had been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Through optimization by response surface methodology, the ammonium sulfate-induced Aga-CLEAs achieved a high activity recovery of around 90% at 0.55 U/mL of enzymes and 36.43 mM glutaraldehyde with cross-linking for 1.71 h. Aga-CLEAs showed increased thermal stability and organic solvent tolerance. The storage ability was also improved since it maintained 74.5% activity after storing at 4 °C for three months, significantly higher than that of the free enzyme (21.6%). Moreover, Aga-CLEAs exhibited excellent reusability in the α-GOSs synthesis from galactose, retaining above 66% of enzyme activity after 10 batch reactions, with product yields all above 30%.

Abstract
LinB is an important haloalkane dehalogenase involved in the degradation pathway of different isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), mainly in catalyzing degradation of the notorious β-HCH. The HCH isomers are known to have neurotoxic, carcinogenic and estrogenic effects. Enzymatic bioremediation for decontamination of β- as well as other HCH isomers can prove to be a potential remediation strategy. For any bioremediation technology that is to be developed, apart from having high turnover number, the candidate enzyme must also be available in sufficient amounts. In this direction, the LinB variants reported in database were tested in laboratory studies. The variant LinBSSO4-3 however could not be obtained in soluble fraction by using standard procedures. The protein LinBSSO4-3 was cloned in pDEST17 vector and codon optimized for better expression in Escherichia coli BL21AI using a strong T7 promoter. However, the over-expression of this protein in ectopic host E. coli, led to aggregation of the protein in form of inclusion bodies, which are insoluble aggregates of misfolded or partially folded proteins. SEM analysis of the inclusion bodies showed them as aggregated spherical particles. The inclusion bodies were isolated using high speed sonication and homogenization. This was followed by solubilization in the strong denaturing agent urea. Refolding into its native state was done by using pulsatile refolding. This was done by slowly decreasing the denaturant concentration in the presence of sucrose. The turnover number of the refolded protein was then determined for different isomers of HCH. The protein was found to have a turnover number of ∼43 molecules min-1 on β-HCH and ∼13 molecules min-1 on δ-HCH. Additionally, a mutation I253 M in the active site of the enzyme was found to drastically decrease the enzyme activity on β-HCH. Taking into consideration the wide range of substrates of haloalkane dehalogenases, such a protocol for inclusion body refolding will contribute to the field of bioremediation technology development for organochlorines, specifically HCH. Such a protocol for refolding of haloalkane dehalogenases from inclusion bodies has not been developed or reported before.

Abstract
Halomonas bluephagenesis has been successfully engineered to produce multiple products under open unsterile conditions utilizing costly glucose as the carbon source. It would be highly interesting to investigate if H. bluephagenesis, a chassis for the Next Generation Industrial Biotechnology (NGIB), can be reconstructed to become an extracellular hydrolytic enzyme producer replacing traditional enzyme producer Bacillus spp. If successful, cost of bulk hydrolytic enzymes such as amylase and protease, can be significantly reduced due to the contamination resistant and robust growth of H. bluephagenesis. This also allows H. bluephagenesis to be able to grow on low cost substrates such as starch. The modularized secretion machinery was constructed and fine-tuned in H. bluephagenesis using codon-optimized gene encoding α-amylase from Bacillus lichenifomis. Screening of suitable signal peptides and linkers based on super-fold green fluorescence protein (sfGFP) for enhanced expression in H. bluephagenesis resulted in a 7-fold enhancement of sfGFP secretion in the recombinant H. bluephagenesis. When the gene encoding sfGFP was replaced by α-amylase encoding gene, recombinant H. bluephagenesis harboring this amylase secretory system was able to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), ectoine and L-threonine utilizing starch as the growth substrate, respectively. Recombinant H. bluephagenesis TN04 expressing genes encoding α-amylase and glucosidase on chromosome and plasmid-based systems, respectively, was able to grow on corn starch to approximately 10 g/L cell dry weight containing 51% PHB when grown in shake flasks. H. bluephagenesis was demonstrated to be a chassis for productions of extracellular enzymes and multiple products from low cost corn starch.

Abstract
In industrial application, immobilized lipase are typically not reused and served as industrial waste after a certain process is completed. The capacity on the reusability of the spent lipase is not well studied. This current study embarks on reusing the remaining lipase from the spent immobilized enzyme. Active lipases were recovered using a simple reverse micellar extraction (RME). RME is the extraction process of targeted biomolecules using an organic solvent and a surfactant. This method was the first attempt reported on the recovery of the lipase from the used immobilized lipase. RME of the spent lipase was done using the nonionic Triton X-100 surfactant and toluene. Various parameters were optimized to maximize the lipase recovery from the used immobilized lipase. The optimum forward extraction condition was 0.075 M KCl, and backward conditions were at 0.15 M Triton X-100/toluene (pH 6, 2 M KCl) with recovery of 66%. The extracted lipase was immobilized via simple adsorption into the ethanol pretreated carrier. The optimum conditions of immobilization resulted in 96% of the extracted lipase was reimmobilized. The reimmobilized lipase was incubated for 20 h in pH 6 buffer at 50 °C of water bath shaker. The reimmobilized lipase still had 27% residual activity after 18 h of incubation, which higher thermal stability compared to the free lipase. In conclusion, the free lipase was successfully extracted from the spent immobilized lipase and reimmobilized into the new support. It exhibited high thermal stability, and the reusability of the spent lipase will promote continued use of industrial lipase and reduce the cost of the manufacturing process.

Abstract
Since their discovery, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have become materials with great potential, especially considering the applications of biomedical sciences. A series of works on the preparation, characterization, and application of MNPs has shown that the biological activity of such materials depends on their size, shape, core, and shell nature. Some of the most commonly used MNPs are those based on a magnetite core. On the other hand, synthetic biopolymers are used as a protective surface coating for these nanoparticles. This review describes the advances in the field of polymer-coated MNPs for protein immobilization over the past decade. General methods of MNP preparation and protein immobilization are presented. The most extensive section of this article discusses the latest work on the use of polymer-coated MNPs for the physical and chemical immobilization of three types of proteins: enzymes, antibodies, and serum proteins. Where possible, the effectiveness of the immobilization and the activity and use of the immobilized protein are reported. Finally, the information available in the peer-reviewed literature and the application perspectives for the MNP-immobilized protein systems are summarized as well.

Abstract
In many respects, enzymes offer advantages over traditional chemical processes due to their decreased energy requirements for function and inherent greener processing. However, significant barriers exist for the utilization of enzymes in industrial processes due to their limited stabilities and inability to operate over larger temperature and pH ranges. Immobilization of enzymes onto solid supports has gained attention as an alternative to traditional chemical processes due to enhanced enzymatic performance and stability. This study demonstrates the co-immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as an enzyme system on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2, that produces a more effective biocatalyst as shown by the oxidation of pyrogallol. The two MOFs utilized as solid supports for immobilization were chosen to investigate how modifications of the MOF linker affect stability at the enzyme/MOF interface and subsequent activity of the enzyme system. The enzymes work in concert with activation of HRP through the addition of glucose as a substrate for GOx. Enzyme immobilization and leaching studies showed HRP/GOx@UiO-66-NH2 immobilized 6% more than HRP/GOx@UiO-66, and leached only 36% of the immobilized enzymes over three days in the solution. The enzyme/MOF composites also showed increased enzyme activity in comparison with the free enzyme system: the composite HRP/GOx@UiO-66-NH2 displayed 189 U/mg activity and HRP/GOx@UiO-66 showed 143 U/mg while the free enzyme showed 100 U/mg enzyme activity. This increase in stability and activity is due to the amine group of the MOF linker in HRP/GOx@UiO-66-NH2 enhancing electrostatic interactions at the enzyme/MOF interface, thereby producing the most stable biocatalyst material in solution. The HRP/GOx@UiO-66-NH2 also showed long-term stability in the solid state for over a month at room temperature.

Abstract
Enzymes function as biocatalysts and are extensively exploited in industrial applications. Immobilization of enzymes using support materials has been shown to improve enzyme properties, including stability and functionality in extreme conditions and recyclability in biocatalytic processing. This review focuses on the recent advances utilizing the design space of in vivo self-assembled polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) particles as biocatalyst immobilization scaffolds. Self-assembly of biologically active enzyme-coated PHA particles is a one-step in vivo production process, which avoids the costly and laborious in vitro chemical cross-linking of purified enzymes to separately produced support materials. The homogeneous orientation of enzymes densely coating PHA particles enhances the accessibility of catalytic sites, improving enzyme function. The PHA particle technology has been developed into a remarkable scaffolding platform for the design of cost-effective designer biocatalysts amenable toward robust industrial bioprocessing. In this review, the PHA particle technology will be compared to other biological supramolecular assembly-based technologies suitable for in vivo enzyme immobilization. Recent progress in the fabrication of biological particulate scaffolds using enzymes of industrial interest will be summarized. Additionally, we outline innovative approaches to overcome limitations of in vivo assembled PHA particles to enable fine-tuned immobilization of multiple enzymes to enhance performance in multi-step cascade reactions, such as those used in continuous flow bioprocessing.

Abstract
For large-scale bioproduction, thermal stability is a crucial property for most industrial enzymes. A new method to improve both the thermal stability and activity of enzymes is of great significance. In this work, the novel chaperones RrGroEL and RrGroES from Rhodococcus ruber, a nontypical actinomycete with high organic solvent tolerance, were evaluated and applied for thermal stability and activity enhancement of a model enzyme, nitrilase. Two expression strategies, namely, fusion expression and co-expression, were compared in two different hosts, E. coli and R. ruber. In the E. coli host, fusion expression of nitrilase with either RrGroES or RrGroEL significantly enhanced nitrilase thermal stability (4.8-fold and 10.6-fold, respectively) but at the expense of enzyme activity (32-47% reduction). The co-expression strategy was applied in R. ruber via either a plasmid-only or genome-plus-plasmid method. Through integration of the nitrilase gene into the R. ruber genome at the site of nitrile hydratase (NHase) gene via CRISPR/Cas9 technology and overexpression of RrGroES or RrGroEL with a plasmid, the engineered strains R. ruber TH3 dNHase::RrNit (pNV18.1-Pami-RrNit-Pami-RrGroES) and TH3 dNHase::RrNit (pNV18.1-Pami-RrNit-Pami-RrGroEL) were constructed and showed remarkably enhanced nitrilase activity and thermal stability. In particular, the RrGroEL and nitrilase co-expressing mutant showed the best performance, with nitrilase activity and thermal stability 1.3- and 8.4-fold greater than that of the control TH3 (pNV18.1-Pami-RrNit), respectively. These findings are of great value for production of diverse chemicals using free bacterial cells as biocatalysts.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that oligomeric enzymes evolve from their monomeric ancestors, and the evolution process generates superior structural benefits for functional advantages. Furthermore, adjusting the transition between different oligomeric states is an important mechanism for natural enzymes to regulate their catalytic functions for adapting environmental fluctuations in nature, which inspires researchers to mimic such a strategy to develop artificially oligomerized enzymes through protein engineering for improved performance under specific conditions. On the other hand, transforming oligomeric enzymes into their monomers is needed in fundamental research for deciphering catalytic mechanisms as well as exploring their catalytic capacities for better industrial applications. In this article, strategies for developing artificially oligomerized and monomerized enzymes are reviewed and highlighted by their applications. Furthermore, advances in the computational prediction of oligomeric structures are introduced, which would accelerate the systematic design of oligomeric and monomeric enzymes. Finally, the current challenges and future directions in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Based on the excellent biocompatibility of collagen, collagen was extracted from pig skin by acid-enzymatic method. The films were prepared by the self-aggregation behavior of collagen, and the catalase was immobilized by adsorption, cross-linking and embedding. The experiment investigated the effects of glutaraldehyde on the mechanical properties, external sensory properties, and denaturation temperature of the films. The results showed that self-aggregating material could maintain the triple helix structure of pig skin collagen. The self-aggregation treatment and cross-linking treatment can improve the mechanical properties to 53 MPa, while the glutaraldehyde cross-linking agent can increase the denaturation temperature of the pig skin collagen self-aggregating membrane by 20.35% to 84.48 °C. This means that its application to immobilized catalase has better stability. The comparison shows that the catalase immobilized by the adsorption method has strong activity and high operational stability, and the cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde and the initial enzyme concentration have a significant effect on the immobilization, and the activity can reach 175 U g−1. After 16 uses of the film, the catalase was completely inactivated. This study provides a reference for the preparation of a catalase sensor that can be used to detect hydrogen peroxide in food by a catalase sensor. Based on the excellent biocompatibility of collagen, collagen was extracted from pig skin by acid-enzymatic method.![]()

Abstract
Manufacturing of protein-based biomaterials is gaining momentum in biomedical applications. In this chapter, we describe the procedures to create a versatile platform for the one-pot fabrication of different types of protein-based biomaterials by coupling the in vitro protein synthesis with the protein immobilization on solid materials in one-pot. To this aim, a set of plasmids and a battery of solid materials must be developed to guarantee the selective immobilization of the nascent protein on the surfaces, giving rise to functional biomaterials. This methodology also allows functionalizing materials with two or more proteins to increase the biomaterial's functionalities. Herein, this technology only requires the genomic information encoding the target protein, the desired solid material, and the cell-free extract containing the protein synthesis machinery. The cooperative action of all these elements turns out this portable technology as an innovative strategy for prototyping the fabrication of biomaterials and shortening their processing time.

Abstract
L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine) is a preferred drug for Parkinson's disease, and is currently in great demand every year worldwide. Biocatalytic conversion of L-tyrosine by tyrosinases is the most promising method for the low-cost production of L-DOPA in both research and industry. Yet, it has been hampered by low productivity, low conversion rate, and low stability of the biocatalyst, tyrosinase. An alternative tyrosinase TyrVs from Verrucomicrobium spinosum with more efficient expression in heterologous host and better stability than the commercially available Agaricus bisporus tyrosinase was identified in this study. Additionally, it was prepared as a novel nano-biocatalyst based on the distinct one-step in situ immobilization on the surface of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) nano-granules. The resulting PHA-TyrVs nano-granules demonstrated improved L-DOPA-forming monophenolase activity of 9155.88 U/g (Tyr protein), which was 3.19-fold higher than that of free TyrVs. The nano-granules also exhibited remarkable thermo-stability, with an optimal temperature of 50 °C, and maintained more than 70% of the initial activity after incubation at 55 °C for 24 h. And an enhanced affinity of copper ion was observed in the PHA-TyrVs nano-granules, making them even better biocatalysts for L-DOPA production. Therefore, a considerable productivity of L-DOPA, amounting to 148.70 mg/L h, with a conversion rate of L-tyrosine of 90.62% can be achieved by the PHA-TyrVs nano-granules after 3 h of biocatalysis under optimized conditions, without significant loss of enzyme activity or L-DOPA yield after 8 cycles of repeated use. Our study provides an excellent and robust nano-biocatalyst for the cost-effective production of L-DOPA.
