In order to evaluate the effect of various process parameters on reaction conversion, response surface methodology (RSM) complemented by central composite design (CCD) was employed. A maximum conversion of 88.57% was obtained while changing one factor at a time, at optimum conditions of temperature (50 °C), enzyme dose (2%), molar ratio acid to alcohol (1:3), speed of agitation 250 rpm and reaction time of 120 min. Based on this RSM study, the optimum predicted conditions were: 1:3.39 alcohol to acid ratio, 2.35% enzyme loading and 48.83 oC, for a predicted conversion of 90.99%. The activation energy for the enzymatic esterification was determined and calculated to be 25.76 kJ/mol. The positive values of Gibbs-free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH) and negative value of entropy (ΔS) revealed that the esterification reaction was non-spontaneous and an endothermic reaction. The reaction seems to follow bi-substrate Ping Pong Bi Bi mechanism with inhibition by both substrates.","PeriodicalId":8747,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis","volume":"1 1","pages":"14 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86512991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the catalytic efficiency on degrading β-carotene into volatile products, and the catalyst storage stability with three different additives were also studied. The apparent inhibition constant (KS) was 51.7 μM. Optimal reaction rates (Vmax) and affinity constants (Km) towards the reducing substrates were obtained using Michaelis-Menten kinetic theory. The trend in the calculated Km’s was found to be 7.0 mM > 0.524 mM > 0.051 mM for Guaiacol, 2,2‘-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and Remazol Brilliant Blue R. The storage stability of the catalyst was evaluated with 7.0% w/v PEG400, 7.0% w/v PEG1450 and 0.1% w/v Tween®80 at 5°C over a period of 45 days. The study revealed the longest activity conservation with PEG1450, where rDyP had lost 30% of initial activity. The enzyme solution presented similar pH and temperature dependence to known fungal dye-decolorizing peroxidases with most prolific enzymatic activities registered at pH 4.0 and temperatures below 30°C. An interesting property of the catalyst was oxidation observed in the absence of hydrogen peroxide.","PeriodicalId":8747,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis","volume":"19 1","pages":"1 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79105257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The largescale production of this eukaryotic enzyme in Escherichia coli has remained challenging thus far. For that reason an alternative, eukaryotic expression system, Komagataella phaffii, was tested. Additionally, to produce novel VAO biocatalysts, we screened genomes for VAO homologues. One bacterial and five fungal sequences were selected for expression, using key active site residues as criteria for their selection. Expression of the putative vao genes in K. phaffii was successful, however expression levels were low (1 mg per litre of culture). Surprisingly, all purified enzymes were found to contain a highly stable, non-covalently bound anionic FAD semiquinone that could not be reduced by dithionite or cyanoborohydride. Activity experiments revealed that VAO expressed in K. phaffii does not produce vanillin because the enzyme suffers from oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":8747,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis","volume":"52 1","pages":"17 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85754854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The immobilization of these enzymes, particularly α-amylases and pullulanases, to the nanosupports is helpful in minimizing the problem of steric hindrances during binding of substrate to the active site of the enzyme. The majority of nano-support immobilized amylolytic enzymes exhibited very high resistance to inactivation induced by different kinds of physical and chemical denaturants and these immobilized enzyme preparations maintained very high activity on their repeated and continuous uses. Amylolytic enzymes immobilized on nano-supports have successfully been applied in food, fuel, textile, paper and pulp, detergent, environmental, medical, and analytical fields.","PeriodicalId":8747,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis","volume":"29 1","pages":"37 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85968901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
