... The preparation and application of metal chelate-epoxy bifunctional loofah sponge for the selective adsorption and covalent immobilization of a His-tagged trehalose synthase were reported. The adsorption of the His-tagged trehalose synthase on the metal chelate loofah sponge was found to follow the Langmuir isotherm model with Co²⁺ ion exhibiting an adsorption capacity of 1.183 mg/g and a superior ...
... For effectively actualizing the gram-scale preparation of (R)-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol (PED) via the enantioconvergent hydrolysis of racemic (rac-) styrene oxide (SO) at elevated concentration using whole-cell of E. coli/sleh2, the reaction media were constructed by adding non-ionic surfactants, organic solvents, and deep eutectic solvents into phosphate buffer, respectively. After screening, using c ...
... A series of silica-based bifunctional adsorbents containing both metal-chelating groups and epoxy groups for the concomitant purification and immobilization of His-tagged protein switch RG13, a potential bioreceptor for developing maltose biosensors, were prepared by controlling the ratio of iminodiacetic acid-conjugated silane (GLYMO-IDA) and silane (GLYMO) used for surface modification. The bifu ...
... Feruloyl esterase (FAE)-catalyzed esterification reaction is as a potential route for the biosynthesis of feruloylated oligosaccharides as functional ingredients. Immobilization of FAE from Humicola insolens on metal chelate-epoxy supports was investigated. The study of effects of immobilization parameters using response surface methodology revealed the significance of enzyme/support ratio (3.25-2 ...
... Ferulic acid acylation of oligosaccharides catalyzed by feruloyl esterases (FAE) is a promising route to produce feruloylated oligosaccharides. However, modulation of FAE synthetic properties is a key step to improve the acylation. The efficiency of H. insolens FAE to catalyze the feruloylation in six different surfactantless microemulsions reaction systems was evaluated. The highest yield (57%) w ...
... Lecitase Ultra (Leci) was immobilized on Immobead-350 (IB-350) activated with epoxy (EPO), amino-divinylsulfone (DVS) or amino-glutaraldehyde (GLU) groups. Leci-GLU had 27% more activity versus p-nitro-phenyl butyrate (p-NPB) than Leci-EPO, after 3 h of immobilization using 100 mg of enzyme/g of support (immobilization yield was 84.1%, expressed activity versus p-NPB was around 10%), the covalent ...
... Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) are attractive enzymes for producing enantiopure epoxides and diols, but do not display enough stability when lysates or Escherichia coli whole cells are used as biocatalysts. In this work, an organic-solvent tolerant strain Rhodococcus ruber THdAdN was utilized to overexpress an epoxide hydrolase from Agrobacterium radiobacter (ArEH), using E. coli BL21(DE3) as a control. ...
... A new halohydrin dehalogenase-like gene (HHDH) in the genome of Pseudomonas umsongensis YCIT1612 was identified, cloned and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. HHDH-Pu exhibited the highest sequence identity of 45% in comparison with the previously reported HHDHs. The recombinant HHDH-Pu was purified to homogeneity and its catalytic characteristics in epoxide ring opening was explored. Compared to ...
... Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains are among the most frequently isolated microorganisms in urinary tract infections able to colonize the surface of urinary catheters and form biofilms. These biofilms are highly resistant to antibiotics and host immune system, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality rates. Strategies to prevent biofilm development, especially via restricting the initial sta ...
... This work evaluated the immobilization of Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) on a new heterofunctional support, prepared by silanization of silica particles with triethoxy(octyl)silane and trietoxy(3-aminopropyl)silane, followed by activation with glutaraldehyde. The new support (octyl-silica-amino-glutaraldehyde, OSGlu) exhibits features of an anionic exchanger and hydrophobic adsorbent capable o ...
... This work deals with the optimization of the Candida antartica lipase B (CALB) mediated epoxidation of monoterpenes by using the design of experiments (DoE) working with the Taguchi Method. Epoxides are essential organic intermediates that find various industrial applications making the epoxidation one of the most investigated processes in chemical industry. As many as 8 parameters such as the rea ...
... In this article, a new type of graphene oxide material was obtained by modification with epoxy chloropropane, which was used for the (+) γ-lactamase immobilization research. The enzymatic properties of the immobilized (+) γ-lactamase were systematically tested and compared with those of the free enzyme. The free and immobilized enzymes have the same optimum temperature (80°C) and pH (8.0), the ran ...

Abstract:
... Four different mutants of penicillin G acylase from E. coli (PGA) were site-direct immobilized and rigidification on Eupergit C. The resulting immobilized preparations were more stable against both temperature and organic solvents than those obtained by using a more complex tailor-made disulfide-epoxy supports. The region around the position β380 was the most interesting one to achieve the highest ...
