Thermoanaerobacter cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was immobilized using different supports and immobilization methods to study
the effect on activity recovery. The enzyme covalently attached into glyoxyl-silica showed low activity recovery of 1.5%.
The hydrophobic adsorption of the enzyme on Octadecyl-Sepabeads yielded also low activity recovery, 3.83%, and the enzyme
could easily leak from the support at low ionic strength, although the immobilization yield was satisfactory, approximately
76%. The CGTase encapsulated in a sol–gel matrix gave an activity recovery of 6.94% and maximum cyclization activity at 60
°C, at pH 6.0. The half-time life at 60 °C, pH 6.0, in the presence of substrate was 100 min, which was lower than that of
the free enzyme. The best activity recovery in this work (6.94%) is approximately five times smaller than that obtained previously
using glyoxyl-agarose as support and covalent immobilization. Thus, the best support and method we tested so far for immobilization
of CGTase is covalent attachment on glyoxyl-agarose. 相似文献
Lipases are an enzyme class of a great importance as biocatalysts applied to organic chemistry. However, it is still necessary to search for new enzymes with special characteristics such as good stability towards high temperatures, organic solvents, and high stereoselectivity presence. The present work’s aim was to immobilize the lipases pool produced by Penicillium simplissicimum, a filamentous fungi strain isolated from Brazilian babassu cake residue. P. simplissicimum lipases were separated into three different fractions using selective adsorption method on different hydrophobic supports (butyl-, phenyl-, and octyl-agarose) at low ionic strength. After immobilization, it was observed that these fractions’ hyperactivation is in the range of 131% to 1133%. This phenomenon probably occurs due to enzyme open form stabilization when immobilized onto hydrophobic supports. Those fractions showed different thermal stability, specificity, and enantioselectivity towards some substrates. Enantiomeric ratio for the hydrolysis of (R,S) 2-O-butyryl-2-phenylacetic acid ranged from 1 to 7.9 for different immobilized P. simplissicimum lipase fractions. Asymmetry factor for diethyl 2-phenylmalonate hydrolysis ranged from 11.8 to 16.4 according to the immobilized P. simplissicimum lipase fractions. Those results showed that sequential adsorption methodology was an efficient strategy to obtain new biocatalysts with different enantioselectivity degrees, thermostability, and specificity prepared with a crude extract produced by a simple and low-cost technology. 相似文献
Xylanases have important applications in industry. Immobilization and stabilization of enzymes may allow their reuse in many cycles of the reaction, decreasing the process costs. This work proposes the use of a rational approach to obtain immobilized commercial xylanase biocatalysts with optimized features. Xylanase NS50014 from Novozymes was characterized and immobilized on glyoxyl-agarose, agarose-glutaraldehyde, and agarose-amino-epoxy support and on differently activated chitosan supports: glutaraldehyde-chitosan, glyoxyl-chitosan, and epoxy-chitosan. Two different chitosan matrices were tested. The best chitosan derivative was epoxy-chitosan-xylanase, which presented 100% of immobilization yield and 64% of recovered activity. No significant increase on the thermal stability was observed for all the chitosan-enzyme derivatives. Immobilization on glyoxyl-agarose showed low yield immobilization and stabilization degrees of the obtained derivative. The low concentration of lysine groups in the enzyme molecule could explain these poor results. The protein was then chemically modified with ethylenediamine and immobilized on glyoxyl-agarose. The new enzyme derivatives were 40-fold more stable than the soluble, aminated, and dialyzed enzyme (70 °C, pH 7), with 100% of immobilization yield. Therefore, the increase of the number of amine groups in the enzyme surface was confirmed to be a good strategy to improve the properties of immobilized xylanase. 相似文献
A recombinant l-arabinose isomerase from Enterococcus faecium DBFIQ E36 was immobilized onto multifunctional epoxide supports by chemical adsorption and onto a chelate-activated support via polyhistidine-tag, located on the N-terminal (N-His-L-AI) or on the C-terminal (C-His-L-AI) sequence, followed by covalent bonding between the enzyme and the support. The results were compared to reversible L-AI immobilization by adsorption onto charged agarose supports with improved stability. All the derivatives presented immobilization yields of above 75%. The ionic interaction established between agarose gels containing monoaminoethyl-N-aminoethyl structures (MANAE) and the enzyme was the most suitable strategy for L-AI immobilization in comparison to the chelate-activated agarose. In addition, the immobilized biocatalysts by ionic interaction in MANAE showed to be the most stable, retaining up to 100% of enzyme activity for 60 min at 60 °C and with Km values of 28 and 218 mM for MANAE-N-His-L-AI and MANAE-C-His-L-AI, respectively.
Grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) lipase was isolated using para-aminobenzamidine agarose and immobilized on octyl Sepharose CL-4B (o-Sep). Immobilized grey mullet lipase (GMLi) had a 10?°C higher optimum temperature compared to the free enzyme and showed remarkable thermal stability. GMLi was most active within the pH range of 8.0?C9.5 with an optimum at 8.5. Immobilization also enhanced the storage stability and reusability of the enzyme with minimal changes in efficiency during repeated batches. GMLi showed variable stabilities in various organic solvents. A signal in the amide I absorption region of the FTIR spectrum of GMLi was attributed to the protein layer on o-Sep. The surface morphology of o-Sep was visualized on a Zeiss stereomicroscope as globular-shaped beads. 相似文献
Urethanase produced by Penicillium variabile was purified through ultrasonication, concentration by polyethylene glycol 20,000, and Superdex G-200 gel filtration chromatography. The molecular weight of urethanase was determined to be around 96 kDa by gel filtration. The purified enzyme showed a single band in SDS-PAGE with the molecular weight of ~13.7 kDa, which suggests that the enzyme has a multimeric structure composed of the same subunits. Peptide map fingerprinting analysis was then carried out by MALDI/TOF-TOF MS. Within the known sequences in NCBI, glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase get high score as compared with urethanase. Sequence analysis informs that N-terminal sequence of urethanase is GTNTADNDAA. The Minchaelis constant (Km) and maximum reaction rate (Vm) of urethanase are 27.2 mmol/L and 156.25 μmol/L min, respectively. 相似文献
A significant challenge remains to protect protein drugs from inactivation during production, storage, and use. In the present study, the stabilization and release of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in silk films was investigated. Water‐insoluble silk films were prepared under mild aqueous conditions, maintaining the activity of the entrapped enzyme. Depending on film processing and post‐processing conditions, HRP retained more than 90% of the initial activity at 4 °C, room temperature and 37 °C over two months. The stability of protein drugs in silk films is attributed to intermolecular interactions between the silk and the enzymes, based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The unique structural feature of silk molecules, periodic hydrophobic‐hydrophilic domains, enabled strong interactions with proteins. The entrapped protein was present in two states, untrapped active and trapped inactive forms. The ratio between the two forms varied according to processing conditions. Proteolytic degradation and dissolution of the silk films resulted in the release of the bound enzyme which was otherwise not released by diffusion; enzyme recovered full activity upon release. There was a linear relationship between silk degradation/dissolution and the release of entrapped enzyme. Modifying the secondary structure of the silk matrix and the interactions with the non‐crystalline domains resulted in control of the film degradation or dissolution rate, and therefore the release rate of the entrapped enzyme. Based on the above results, silk materials are an intriguing carrier for proteins in terms of both retention of activity and controllable release kinetics from the films.
Three novel hybrid polyketide-terpenoid metabolites were isolated from a Penicillium minioluteum strain. Their structures were determined by NMR spectroscopic analyses and X-ray crystallography. The proposed biosynthetic pathway including a unique retro-Claisen migration of methyl carbonate correlates the three compounds with berkeleydione and berkeleytrione. 相似文献
AbstractThe pigment was extracted from Penicillium aculeatum, purified and characterized as Ankaflavin by spectroscopic analysis. The stability of the pigment was determined under various conditions and was found to possess high stability. The cytotoxicity property of the purified pigment was determined by MTT assay in MCF-7, HCT116 and PC-3 and the studies were compared with its activity in CHOK1 cells. In MCF-7 and in CHOK 1 cells, the pigment exhibited very less toxicity. However, significant cytotoxicity was observed in HCT116 and PC-3 cells with IC50 of 162?μg mL?1 and 85?μg mL?1 for HCT116 and PC-3 cells respectively. In vitro toxicity was tested by haemolysis assay and MTT assay in HEK 293 cells. The pigment showed least cytotoxicity (<5%) at 160 and 320?μg mL?1 concentrations HEK 293 cells and negligible (<5%) toxicity on human erythrocytes at 160 and 320?μg mL?1, the highest concentrations tested. 相似文献
Hierarchically porous metal–organic frameworks (HP‐MOFs) are promising in various applications. Most reported HP‐MOFs are prepared based on the generation of mesopores in microporous frameworks, and the formed mesopores are connected by microporous channels, limiting the accessibility of mesopores for bulky molecules. A hierarchical structure is formed by constructing microporous MOFs in uninterrupted mesoporous tunnels. Using the confined space in as‐prepared mesoporous silica, highly dispersed metal precursors for MOFs are coated on the internal surface of mesoporous tunnels. Ligand vapor‐induced crystallization is employed to enable quantitative formation of MOFs in situ, in which sublimated ligands diffuse into mesoporous tunnels and react with metal precursors. The obtained hierarchically porous composites exhibit record‐high adsorption capacity for the bulky molecule trypsin. The thermal and storage stability of trypsin is improved upon immobilization on the composites. 相似文献
The anti-neuroinflammatory meroterpenoid citreohybridonol was isolated for the first time from a sponge-derived fungus Penicillium atrovenetum. In this study, in addition to isolation and structure featuring, its unambiguous absolute configuration was determined exclusively by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The C-17-keto tautomer was clearly observed in X-ray analysis. The substance crystallises in the monoclinic space group P21 with a = 10.7496(5) Å, b = 14.3286(7) Å, c = 17.4909(8) Å, β = 103.235(2)°, V = 2622.5(2) Å3, Z = 2, Dcalcd = 1.280 g/cm3. The chirality of the asymmetric carbon atoms was as follows: C3 (S), C5 (R), C6 (S), C8 (S), C9 (R), C10 (R), C13 (R), C14 (R). 相似文献
Screening of several fungi from the New Zealand International Collection of Microorganisms from Plants identified two strains of Penicillium, P. bissettii and P. glabrum, which exhibited antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. Further investigation into the natural products of the fungi, through extraction and fractionation, led to the isolation of five known polyketide metabolites, penicillic acid (1), citromycetin (2), penialdin A (3), penialdin F (4), and myxotrichin B (5). Semi-synthetic derivatization of 1 led to the discovery of a novel dihydro (1a) derivative that provided evidence for the existence of the much-speculated open-chained form of 1. Upon investigation of the antimicrobial activities of the natural products and derivatives, both penicillic acid (1) and penialdin F (4) were found to inhibit the growth of Methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Penialdin F (4) was also found to have some inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium abscessus and M. marinum along with citromycetin (2). 相似文献
