This study reports the immobilization of a new lipase isolated from oleaginous seeds of Pachira aquatica, using beads of calcium alginate (Alg) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). We evaluated the morphology, number of cycles of reuse, optimum temperature, and temperature stability of both immobilization methods compared to the free enzyme. The immobilized enzymes were more stable than the free enzy...

Lysozyme is a naturally occurring enzyme with antimicrobial activity that has gained significant attention for its potential use in range of industrial applications. Due to low toxicity, lysozyme been considered food, packaging, medicine, medical device and cosmetics. In recent decades, researchers have working towards extending the lifespan bioactivity these The immobilization on solid support...

we expressed and purified a recombinant p. pyralis luciferase with n-terminal his-tags. the silanized ni or cu-loaded magnetic particles were prepared and used to assemble the his-tagged p. pyralis luciferase. this enzyme immobilized on functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (mnps) via electrostatic interactions of his-tag with ni2+/cu2+ ions on the surface of mnps using simple one step method. ...

A method for immobilization of β-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis on an adsorptive membrane for the continuous synthesis of galacto-oligosaccharides from lactose was carried out. The immobilization was performed at 4, 10, 15 and 40°C. Two strongly basic anion exchange membranes with tradename MustangQ and SartobindQ were investigated. In static experiments, the highest enzyme activity wa...

The term immobilized enzymes refers to "enzymes physically confined or localized in a certain defined region of space with retention of their catalytic activities, and which can be used repeatedly and continuously." Immobilized enzymes are currently the subject of considerable interest because of their advantages over soluble enzymes. In addition to their use in industrial processes, the immobi...

Soyasapogenol B (SB) is known to have many biological activities such as hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, antiviral and anticancer activities. Enzymatic conversion of soyasaponins to SB was carried out using saponin hydrolase (SH) extracted from Aspergillus flavus. The partially purified enzyme was immobilized on different carriers by physical adsorption, covalent binding or...

This study has explored the feasibility of using spent coffee grounds as a good supporting material for the Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1 cellulase immobilization. An optimal operational conditions in a batch-adsorption system were found to be: carrier mass of 12 g/L, under the temperature of 45 °C and no pH adjustments. The immobilization yield reached about 71%. An equilibrium establishme...

In this study, the immobilization of xylanase using a protein-inorganic hybrid nanoflower system, was assessed to improve the enzyme properties. The synthesis of hybrid xylanase nanoflowers was very effective at 4°C for 72 h, using 0.25 mg/mL protein, and efficient immobilization of xylanase was observed with a maximum encapsulation yield and relative activity of 78.5% and 148%, respectively. I...

low stability, high cost and high selectivity towards the reaction conditions, they are limited to industrial applications [1-3]. In order to facilitate their usage in industrial applications several developments have been done in the field of enzyme technology during the last two decades [4]. Immobilization of enzymes on solid supports has become most familiar technique after Nelson and Griffi...

Numerous types of nanoparticles and nanocomposites have successfully been employed for the immobilization and stabilization of amylolytic enzymes; α-amylases, β-amylases, glucoamylases and pullulanases. Nano-support immobilized amylolytic enzymes retained very high activity and yield of immobilization. The immobilization of these enzymes, particularly α-amylases and pullulanases, to the nanosup...
