background: collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, and as an extracellular matrix protein, has an important role in the fiber formation. this feature of the collagen renders  establishment of the structural skeleton in tissues. regarding specific features associated with the collagen, such as, formation of the porous structure, permeability and hydrophilicity, it can also be use...

Magnetic silica aerogel in hydrophobic and hydrophilic forms were used as support to immobilize Candida rugosa lipase by adsorption method. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the effects of the three most important immobilization parameters, namely enzyme/support ratio (0.3-0.5, w/w), immobilization time (60-120 min) and alcohol percentage (20-40, %v/v) on the specific act...

the protease enzyme breaks down protein into amino acids as its constructors. protease immobilization onto appropriate support materials plays an essential role in various fields of technology including the food and detergent industries. accordingly, improvement of protease immobilization has been highly regarded due to its applications in bio catalysis. alginate and chitosan are natural polysa...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa BBRC-10036 was used for lipase production. The organism secreted the enzyme extracellulary. In order to purify the enzyme, precipitation was done first, and then this lipase has been purified by Ion exchange Chromatography leading to 2.3-fold purification and 11.47% recovery. Lipase from P.aeruginosa was entrapped into Ca-alginate gel beads and effect of independent varia...

objective(s): enzyme immobilization via nanoparticles is perfectly compatible against the other chemical or biological approximate to improve enzyme functions and stability. in this study lactoperoxidase was immobilized onto silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles to improve enzyme properties in the presence of cadmium chloride as an inhibitor. materials and methods:  the process consists of the ...

phospholipase a1 is known as an effective catalyst for hydrolysis of various phospholipids in enzymatic vegetable oil degumming. immobilization is one of the most efficient strategies to improve its activity, recovery and functional properties. in this study, chitosan-co-polyethylene oxide (90:10) nanofibrous mat was successfully fabricated and modified with atmospheric plasma at different time...

background: enzymes are well known as sensitive catalysts in the laboratory and industrial scale. to improve their properties and for using their significant potential in various reactions as a useful catalyst the stability of enzymes can often require improvement. enzymes immobilization on solid supports such as epoxy- functionalized ferric silica nanocomposite can be effective way to improve ...

 Immobilization of Lipase produced from Rhizomucor miehei on HDPE fine powder was investigated. As compared to an aqueous system, immobilization in a non-aquous organic medium such as n-hexane was not successful and caused enzyme denaturation. Prewetting the support with ethanol increased the immobilized protein and enzyme activity as much as 31% and 34%, respectively. The maximum immobilized a...

Microporous glass ceramic with skeleton of CaTi4(PO¬4)6 with average pore size of 12.7 nm has been synthesized and used as a carrier of glucose oxidase. The glass ceramic was prepared by controlled heat treatment of glass samples, which causes the phase separation in their structure and creates CaTi4(PO¬4)6 and β-Ca3(PO4)2 phases. The β-Ca3(PO4)2 phase was dissolved by soaking the glass ceramic...
