| Abstract: | Sulfotransferases are categorized as phase II metabolic enzymes. Human sulfotransferase 1A1 (SULT1A1) is involved in the sulfonation of xenobiotics with aid from the cofactor 3'‐phosphoadenosine‐5'‐phosphosulfate that acts as a sulfonate donor. In this study, we have attempted to immobilize SULT1A1 on magnetic microparticles (MMs). Different functionalized MMs were used to immobilize SULT1A1 and their enzyme activity was compared to the control (enzyme in solution). Paracetamol was used as model substrate. Separation of paracetamol and paracetamol sulfate by CE‐UV was optimized and validated. MMs with epoxy based immobilization of SULT1A1 showed better enzyme activity. Hence, they were tested for repeated usage to allow their implementation for the development of a CE immobilized micro enzyme reactor. |
