The immobilization and biocatalysis of commercially purified soybean lipoxygenase (LOX) type I-B (EC 1.13.11.12) were investigated in organic solvent media. The results showed that the highest immobilization efficiencies of LOX, 30.6 and 29.3%, were obtained with DEAE-cellulose and modified Eupergit C250L supports, respectively. The biocatalysis of free and immobilized (Eupergit C250L/EDA) LOXs was investigated in different mixtures of hexane and a selected cosolvent (95:5 [v/v]). The results showed a 1.5 and a 1.6 increase in the activity of free and immobilized LOXs, respectively, using a mixture of hexane and 1,4-dioxane compared with that in hexane alone; however, cosolvents, including 2-octanone, 2-heptanone, 2-butanone, and cyclohexanone, displayed an inhibitory effect on LOX activity. In the mixture of 1,4-dioxane and hexane, LOX activity was dependent on the cosolvent concentration, which was increased with 1,4-dioxane up to 5% (v/v). The threshold 1,4-dioxane concentration (C50) and the incubation period (T50) at which 50% of the maximal enzyme activity was obtained for the free and immobilized LOXs were 6.7 and 8.9% (v/v) and 9.1 and 17.0 min, respectively.

Background: Cutting-edge ultrasensitive immunoassay platforms have unveiled the potential of blood-based biomarkers, offering detection at low fg/mL levels for early neurodegenerative disorder prognosis, screening, and therapeutic monitoring. Current immunoassays, such as single molecule array (SIMOA) and mesoscale multi-array (MSD), face limited adoption due to their reliance on specialized equipment. Additionally, they require immobilization of probe reagents and a washing process, demanding tens of thousands of proteins to achieve the Limit of Detection (LOD), leading to the requirement of high sample volume and high affinity antibodies for fg/mL sensitivity.

The dried capitulum of chrysanthemums is a traditional material in scented tea, and the kill-green process is a critical step in determining their quality. However, the changes in the physicochemical properties during kill-green and the mechanisms by which these changes affect drying characteristics, metabolic components, and aroma profiles remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the changes in water status, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities, and microstructure during high-humidity air impingement kill-green (HHAIK) and steam kill-green (SK), and their effects on drying behavior, color, phytochemicals, and volatile profile of dried chrysanthemums.

A lipophilic piceid lipoate (PIL) was synthesized by enzymatic method to enhance the antioxidant activity of piceid and improve its state in oil system. The highest substrate conversion of 93.71 % was obtained in γ-valerolactone using Novozym 435 as a catalyst, with a piceid/lipoic acid ratio of 1:15 (mM/mM), an enzyme dosage of 40 mg/mL, and 4 Å molecular sieves at 400 mg/mL.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is normally used to measure the kinetic parameters of biomolecular interactions between a molecule immobilized on a gold surface and another one flowing in a microfluidic channel above the surface. During the SPR measurements, convection-diffusion phenomena occur inside the microfluidic channels, but they are generally minimized by appropriate experimental setup in order to obtain diffusion free kinetic parameters of the molecular interactions. In this work, for the first time, a commercial SPR apparatus has been used to obtain non canonical scientific parameters.
