Improving enzyme immobilization: A new carrier-based magnetic polymer for enhanced covalent binding of laccase enzyme.

In the quest for effective enzyme immobilization methods, this study focuses on synthesizing carrier-based magnetic polymer to enhance the covalent binding of T. versicolor laccase. Utilizing chitosan (CS) and alginate (ALG) composites, modified with FeO magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), we aimed to improve the enzyme's stability, reusability, and performance under varying conditions.

Recent advances in the development of chitosan/hyaluronic acid-based hybrid materials for skin protection, regeneration, and healing: A review.

Biomaterials play vital roles in regenerative medicine, specifically in tissue engineering applications. They promote angiogenesis and facilitate tissue creation and repair. The most difficult aspect of this field is acquiring smart biomaterials that possess qualities and functions that either surpass or are on par with those of synthetic products.

Sustainable Immobilization of β-Glucosidase onto Silver Ions and AgNPs-Loaded Acrylic Fabric with Enhanced Stability and Reusability.

Modified polymer design has attracted significant attention for enzyme immobilization, offering promising applications. In this study, amine-terminated polymers were synthesized by incorporating functional groups into polyacrylonitrile using hexamethylenediamine. This work highlights the successful enzyme immobilization strategy using modified polymers, offering improved stability and expanded operational conditions for potential biotechnological applications.

Immobilization of ZnO-TiO Nanocomposite into Polyimidazolium Amphiphilic Chitosan Film, Targeting Improving Its Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Applications.

This study presents a green protocol for the fabrication of a multifunctional smart nanobiocomposite (NBC) (ZnO-PIACSB-TiO) for secure antimicrobial and antibiofilm applications. First, shrimp shells were upgraded to a polyimidazolium amphiphilic chitosan Schiff base (PIACSB) through a series of physicochemical processes. After that, the PIACSB was used as an encapsulating and coating agent to manufacture a hybrid NBC in situ by co-encapsulating ZnONPs and TiONPs.
