Abstract: | An enzymatic microreactor has been fabricated based on the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microchchip surface-modified with zeolite nanoparticles. By introducing the silanol functional groups, the surface of PMMA microchannel has been successfully modified with silicalite-1 nanoparticle for the first time due to its large external surface area and high dispersibility in solutions. Trypsin can be stably immobilized in the microchannel to form a bioreactor using silica sol-gel matrix. The immobilization of enzyme can be realized with a stable gel network through a silicon-oxygen-silicon bridge via tethering to those silanol groups, which has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy and microchip capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection. The maximum proteolytic rate constant of the immobilized trypsin is measured to be about 6.6 mM s(-1). Using matrix assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, the proposed microreactor provides an efficient digestion of cytochrome c and bovine serum albumin at a fast flow rate of 4.0 microL min(-1), which affords a very short reaction time of less than 5 s. |
