... Graphene, and its water soluble derivative graphene oxide, has shown great promise in various biomedical applications, such as cancer therapeutics, drug delivery, etc. and in industrial applications such as enzyme immobilization, etc. Thus, modulation of the activities of different classes of enzymes by graphene materials is an important aspect in the formulation of different biological applicatio ...
... Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a serine protease that hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Here, the effects of hydroxyl radical (OH) and nitric oxide (NO) on AChE activity were studied using a biochromatographic process. The enzyme was immobilized on an ethylenediamine (EDA) monolithic convective interaction media (CIM) disk. The AChE enzymatic mechanism was demonstrated from the chroma ...
... The thermal stabilization of enzymes is a critical factor in the development and reliability of enzyme-based processes and functional materials. Using a simple amine coupling approach for enzyme immobilization onto magnetic microbeads, followed by encasement of the beads in a hydrogel, we demonstrate that the thermal stability of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase can be increased dramatically. For e ...

Abstract:
... We describe a two-step column-based bioassay method with tandem mass spectrometric detection for rapid identification of bioactive species in mixtures. The first step uses an immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) column interfaced to an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-MS) to identify mixtures containing bioactive compounds (i.e., enzyme inhibitors), while the second step uses bioselecti ...
... Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been proved to be a kind of novel support for enzyme immobilization. In this study, we tried to find the relationship between conformation and catalytic performance of immobilized enzyme. Two CC bond hydrolases BphD and MfphA were immobilized on CNTs (SWCNT and MWCNT) via physical adsorption and covalent attachment. Among the conjugates, the immobilized BphD on chemically ...
... This manuscript describes results related to the characterization of electrodes modified with a composite of acetylcholinesterase covalently bound to carbon nanotubes (CNT). The characterization was performed by computational methods and complemented by cyclic voltammetry, infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In-silico simulations enabled the identification of the bin ...
... The present study involves the development of a sensitive electrochemical biosensor for the determination of capsaicin extracted from chilli fruits, based on a novel signal amplification strategy using enzyme technology. For the first time, platinum electrode modified with multiwalled carbon nanotubes where phenylalanine ammonia-lyase enzyme was immobilized using nafion was characterized by attenu ...
... The presented work introduces a novel method to immobilize enzymes either purified or directly out of a crude extract onto magnetic particles in the micrometer range. This method is based on the creation of a fusion protein consisting of the enzyme of choice and a mutant dehalogenase. The dehalogenase gene is commercially available from the company Promega under the name HaloTagTM. When the fusion ...
... Optically pure amino acids have been widely used as intermediates in the synthesis of antibiotics, antifungal agents, pesticides, and sweeteners. Of particular importance, D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine (D-HPG) can be produced from D,L-hydroxyphenly hydantoin (D,L-HPH) in a two-step reaction mediated by D-hydantoinase and N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid amidohydrolase (or carbamoylase). To make this production ...

Abstract:
... Development of appropriate support for enzyme immobilization with approving loading capacity, stability and recyclable performance is a significant topic in enzyme chemistry. In this study, the hydrophilic polyethylenimine (PEI) modified magnetic graphene oxide (GO) composite (Fe3O4@PDA@GO-PEI) was fabricated and acted as an efficient solid support for the immobilization of dextranase to improve t ...

Abstract:
... Multidrug resistance is recognized as one of the main reasons leading to the failure of chemotherapy. Studies have shown that glutathione S‐transferase inhibitors could be regarded as multidrug resistance reversal agents. Herein, a method of applying enzyme immobilization, molecular docking, and high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry was emp ...
... Inulinase is widely applied to produce high fructose syrup (HFS) which is used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Numbers of different techniques such as physical adsorption, entrapment, ion exchange and covalent bonding have been used to immobilize enzymes on solid supports. In this study, an efficient technique for inulinase immobilization was developed which consists of adsorbing a cati ...
... The key property of protein–nanoparticle conjugates is the bioactivity of the protein. The ability to accurately modulate the activity of protein on the nanoparticles at the interfaces is important in many applications. In the work reported here, modulation of the activity of protein–gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugates by specifically orienting the protein and by varying the surface density of the ...

Abstract:
... Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been broadly applied to sample preparation which is an essential step in proteomics research. Their large surface area provides abundant binding sites, their specific pore structure can exclude large-sized proteins and allow small molecules to get inside their channels. Besides, the flexible functionalization gives infinite possibilities of MOFs applications in ...

Abstract:
... The concept of enzyme immobilization via an inhibitor-derived peptide was developed. This method of immobilization was shown to be advantageous over physical adsorption and covalent bonding in retaining the enzymatic activity. Moreover, the surface-immobilized enzyme exhibited resistance against its inhibitor due to the occupation of an inhibitor binding site on the enzyme. ...
