Abstract
This research reported on the immobilization of environmentally friendly enzymes, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and laccase (L), along with the hydrophilic zwitterionic compound l-DOPA on nano-filtration (NF) membranes. This approach introduced biocatalytic membranes, leveraging combined effects between membranes and enzymes. The aim was to systematically assess the efficacy of the enzymatic modified membrane (HRP-NF) in degrading colors in the wastewater, as well as enhancing the membrane resistance toward organic fouling. The enzymatic immobilized membrane demonstrated 96.3 ± 1.8% to 96.6 ± 1.9% removal of colors, and 65.2 ± 1.3% to 67.2 ± 1.3% removal of TOC. This result was underpinned by the insights obtained from the radical scavenger coumarin, which was employed to trap and confirm the formation of PRs through the reaction of enzymes and H2O2. Furthermore, membranes modified with enzymes exhibited significantly improved antifouling properties. The HRP-NF membrane experienced an 8% decline in flux, while the co-immobilized HRP-L-NF membrane demonstrated as low as 6% flux decline, contributed by the synergistic effect of increased hydrophilicity and biocatalytic effects. These findings confirmed that the immobilized enzymatic surface has added function of degrading contaminants in addition to separation function of nanofiltration membrane. These l-DOPA-immobilized enzymatic membranes offered a promising hybrid biocatalytic membrane to eliminate dyes and mitigate membrane fouling, which can be applied in many industrial and domestic water and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The influence of an external constant strong electric field, formed using a pyramidal structure under a high electric potential, on an enzyme located near its apex, is studied. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is used as a model. In our experiments, a 27 kV direct current (DC) voltage was applied to two electrodes with a conducting pyramidal structure attached to one of them. The enzyme particles were visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) after the adsorption of the enzyme from its 0.1 µM solution onto mica AFM substrates. It is demonstrated that after the 40 min exposure to the electric field, the enzyme forms extended structures on mica, while in control experiments compact HRP particles are observed. After the exposure to the electric field, the majority of mica-adsorbed HRP particles had a height of 1.2 nm (as opposed to 1.0 nm in the case of control experiments), and the contribution of higher (>2.0 nm) particles was also considerable. This indicates the formation of high-order HRP aggregates under the influence of an applied electric field. At that, the enzymatic activity of HRP against its substrate 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) remains unaffected. These results are important for studying macroscopic effects of strong electromagnetic fields on enzymes, as well as for the development of cellular structure models.

Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10102645.

Abstract
This paper presents an investigation of the temperature dependence of the oligomeric state of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme on the temperature of its solution, and on the solution storage time, at the single-molecule level. Atomic force microscopy has been employed to determine how the temperature and the storage time of the HRP solution influence its aggregation upon direct adsorption of the enzyme from the solution onto bare mica substrates. In parallel, spectrophotometric measurements have been performed in order to estimate whether the HRP enzymatic activity changes over time upon the storage of the enzyme solution. The temperature dependence of the HRP oligomeric state has been studied within a broad (15–40 °C) temperature range. It has been demonstrated that the storage of the HRP solution for 14 days does not have any considerable effect on the oligomeric state of the enzyme, neither does it affect its activity. At longer storage times, AFM has allowed us to reveal a tendency of HRP to oligomerization during the storage of its buffered solution, while the enzymatic activity remains virtually unchanged even after a 1-month-long storage. By AFM, it has been revealed that after the incubation of a mica substrate in the HRP solution at various temperatures, the content of the mica-adsorbed oligomers increases insignificantly owing to a high-temperature stability of the enzyme.

The Effect of a Dodecahedron-Shaped Structure on the Properties of an Enzyme. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13040166.

Abstract
In this research, the influence of a dodecahedron-shaped structure on the adsorption behavior of a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme glycoprotein onto mica substrates was studied. In the experiments, samples of an aqueous HRP solution were incubated at various distances (0.03 m, 2 m, 5 m, and control at 20 m) from the dodecahedron surface. After the incubation, the direct adsorption of HRP onto mica substrates immersed in the solutions was performed, and the mica-adsorbed HRP particles were visualized via atomic force microscopy (AFM). The effect of the increased HRP aggregation was only observed after the incubation of the enzyme solution at the 2 m distance from the dodecahedron. In addition, with respect to the control sample, spectrophotometric measurements revealed no change in the HRP enzymatic activity after the incubation at any of the distances studied. The results reported herein can be of use in the modeling of the possible influences of various spatial structures on biological objects in the development of biosensors and other electronic equipment.

Abstract
External electromagnetic fields are known to be able to concentrate inside the construction elements of biosensors and bioreactors owing to reflection from their surface. This can lead to changes in the structure of biopolymers (such as proteins), incubated inside these elements, thus influencing their functional properties. Our present study concerned the revelation of the effect of spherical elements, commonly employed in biosensors and bioreactors, on the physicochemical properties of proteins with the example of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme. In our experiments, a solution of HRP was incubated within a 30 cm-diameter titanium half-sphere, which was used as a model construction element. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed for the single-molecule visualization of the HRP macromolecules, adsorbed from the test solution onto mica substrates in order to find out whether the incubation of the test HRP solution within the half-sphere influenced the HRP aggregation state. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was employed in order to reveal whether the incubation of HRP solution within the half-sphere led to any changes in its secondary structure. In parallel, spectrophotometry-based estimation of the HRP enzymatic activity was performed in order to find out if the HRP active site was affected by the electromagnetic field under the conditions of our experiments. We revealed an increased aggregation of HRP after the incubation of its solution within the half-sphere in comparison with the control sample incubated far outside the half-sphere. ATR-FTIR allowed us to reveal alterations in HRP's secondary structure. Such changes in the protein structure did not affect its active site, as was confirmed by spectrophotometry. The effect of spherical elements on a protein solution should be taken into account in the development of the optimized design of biosensors and bioreactors, intended for performing processes involving proteins in biomedicine and biotechnology, including highly sensitive biosensors intended for the diagnosis of socially significant diseases in humans (including oncology, cardiovascular diseases, etc.) at early stages.

Abstract
In our present paper, the influence of a pyramidal structure on physicochemical properties of a protein in buffer solution has been studied. The pyramidal structure employed herein was similar to those produced industrially for anechoic chambers. Pyramidal structures are also used as elements of biosensors. Herein, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme was used as a model protein. HRP macromolecules were adsorbed from their solution onto an atomically smooth mica substrate, and then visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). In parallel, the enzymatic activity of HRP was estimated by conventional spectrophotometry. Additionally, attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) has been employed in order to find out whether or not the protein secondary structure changes after the incubation of its solution either near the apex of a pyramid or in the center of its base. Using AFM, we have demonstrated that the incubation of the protein solution either in the vicinity of the pyramid’s apex or in the center of its base influences the physicochemical properties of the protein macromolecules. Namely, the incubation of the HRP solution in the vicinity of the top of the pyramidal structure has been shown to lead to an increase in the efficiency of the HRP adsorption onto mica. Moreover, after the incubation of the HRP solution either near the top of the pyramid or in the center of its base, the HRP macromolecules adsorb onto the mica surface predominantly in monomeric form. At that, the enzymatic activity of HRP does not change. The results of our present study are useful to be taken into account in the development of novel biosensor devices (including those for the diagnosis of cancer in humans), in which pyramidal structures are employed as sensor, noise suppression or construction elements.
