Removal of Phenols with Encapsulated Horseradish Peroxidase in Calcium Alginate
Authors
Abstract:
Horseradish peroxidase was encapsulated in calcium alginate for the purpose of phenol removal. Considering enzyme encapsulation efficiency, retention activity and enzyme leakage of the capsules, the best gelation condition was found to be 1 % w/v of sodium alginate solution and 5.5 % w/v of calcium chloride hexahydrate. Upon immobilization, pH profile of enzyme activity changes as it shows higher value at basic and acidic solution. Besides, for each phenol concentration there would be an enzyme concentration which going further than this value has no significant effect on phenol removal. Investigation into time course of phenol removal for both encapsulated and free enzyme showed that encapsulated enzyme had nearly similar efficiency in comparison with the same concentration of free enzyme; however the capsules were reusable up to four cycles without any changes in their efficiency. The ratio of hydrogen peroxide/phenol at which highest phenol removal obtained, found to be dependent on initial phenol concentration and in the solution of 2 and 8 mM phenol it were 1.15 and 0.94 respectively.

Acriflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) is an anticeptic drug developed in 1912. Previous research has focused on investigation of the intercalating features of acriflavine, but little is known about its interaction with proteins. Drug-receptor interaction is of major interest in clinical science. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of acriflavine to induce alterations in conform...

Biocatalysis with free enzymes may not be economically viable due to the complexity of their recovery in the reaction medium. With the objective of enabling the total activity recovery yield of biocatalyst and to improve the operational characteristics, have been applied enzyme immobilization techniques. The main interest in the enzyme immobilization is to obtain a catalyst whose activity and s...
full textApplication of 4-iodophenol-enhanced luminol chemiluminescence to direct detection of horseradish peroxidase encapsulated in liposomes.
4-Iodophenol was applied to an enhancer in the direct detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) encapsulated in liposomes by using luminol chemiluminescence (CL). Luminol, 4-iodophenol and hydrogen peroxide permeate into the inner phase of liposomes containing HRP, resulting in the progress of 4-iodophenol-enhanced luminol CL catalyzed by HRP in liposomes. The CL intensity observed in liposomes...
