Abstract
The crosslinked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) technique has been developed as an easy and convenient strategy for carrier-free immobilization of enzymes. However, the irregular voids of enzyme aggregates limit the controlled crosslinking process by using regular crosslinkers such as glutaraldehyde. To overcome this limitation, here we have developed a simple strategy for the preparation of hyperbranched polymer-crosslinked laccase aggregates (HPCLEAs). Hyperbranched polymers were generated in voids of laccase aggregates, and the in situ crosslinking through the formation of hyperbranched polymers provided access to the void-adaptive crosslinking process. These HPCLEAs had irregular shapes and sizes of ∼2–10 μm. 99 % of the initial activity was maintained under the optimized preparation conditions. Further incorporation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) facilitated the proximity between laccase and TEMPO, resulting in efficient aerobic oxidation of alcohols. Additionally, these catalysts could be easily recovered and reused four times with a slight loss of activity. This strategy may open an avenue for the rational design and co-immobilization of enzyme and molecular catalysts used for chemoenzymatic catalysis.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
