Aminoacylase (EC 3.5.1.14) was immobilized into DEAE-Sephadex A-25 by ion-exchange absorption for optical resolution of N-acyl-DL-alanine. The effects of pH, temperature, and Co2+ concentration on the activity of free and immobilized enzymes were investigated along with the operational and the thermal stability of the immobilized enzyme. The immobilized enzyme retained high catalytic activity. The optimum pH and temperature for the hydrolysis of N-acyl-L-alanine in the DL-isomer mixture were 8.0 and 65 degrees C, respectively. Co2+ was an activator for the immobilized enzyme in a similar role as for the free enzyme. No significant loss of activity was observed for at least 300 h of continuous operation. The yield of L-alanine was about 70% of the theoretical yield. The immobilized aminoacylase column decayed over a very long period of operation, but could be completely reactivated by regeneration.

Lipases have catalytic capacity in various processes such as hydrolysis. Those derived from plant sources, such as linseed, offer an economical alternative. The immobilization process facilitates the recovery and reuse of lipase, providing advantages such as resistance to high temperatures and difficulties in recovering and reusing free lipases, which makes product separation difficult.

The increasing global population has raised the demand for cow milk, leading to its adulteration with harmful substances, including urea and glucose, that cause damage to humans when consumed regularly. Hence, this study started with predicting urea and glucose toxicity using ProTox-III software, wherein the results revealed that urea belongs to class IV with an LD value of 6350 mg kg and glucose belongs to class VI with an LD value of 23 000 mg kg. Then, a qualitative colorimetric kit and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used for the preliminary detection of urea and glucose in cow milk.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is widely recognized as a promising therapeutic target enzyme for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The screening of AChE inhibitors (AChEIs) holds great significance for the treatment of AD. In this study, cellulose filter paper (CFP) -immobilized AChE was prepared and firstly applied to screening AChEIs from 30 % ethanol extract of Phyllanthus emblica L.

EEfficient methods for isolating N-glycans are essential to understanding the functions and characteristics of the entire N-glycome. Enzymatic release using PNGaseF is the most effective approach for releasing mammalian N-glycans for analytical purposes. However, the use of PNGaseF for preparative N-glycan isolation is precluded due to the enzyme's cost and limited stability.
