Purification and immobilization of β-glucosidase using surface modified mesoporous silica Santa Barbara Amorphous 15 for eco-friendly preparation of sagittatoside A.

Functionalized mesoporous materials have become a promising carrier for enzyme immobilization. In this study, Santa Barbara Amorphous 15 (SBA-15) was modified by N-aminoethyl-γ-aminopropyl trimethoxy (R). R-SBA-15 was employed to purify and immobilize recombinant β-glucosidase from Terrabacter ginsenosidimutans (BgpA) in one step for the first time.
