Acid phosphatase, an enzyme that is able to catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from cheap pyrophosphate to alcoholic substrates, was covalently immobilized on polymethacrylate beads with an epoxy linker (Immobeads-150 or Sepabeads EC-EP). After immobilization 70% of the activity was retained and the immobilized enzyme was stable for many months. With the immobilized enzyme we were able to produce and prepare D-glucose-6-phosphate, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate, allyl phosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, glycerol-1-phosphate, and inosine-5'-monophosphate from the corresponding primary alcohol on gram scale using either a fed-batch reactor or a continuous-flow packed-bed reactor.

Biolayer interferometry (BLI) is an optical sensor-based analytical method primarily used for analyzing interactions between biomolecules. In this study, we explored the application of BLI to observe the cleavage reaction of glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged fusion protein by human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease on a BLI sensor as a new application of the BLI method. The soluble domain of the Tic22 protein from was expressed and purified as a GST-tagged fusion protein, GST-Tic22, in .

α-Amylases, constituting a significant share of the enzyme market, are mainly synthesized by the genus Bacillus. Enzymes tailored for specific industrial applications are needed to meet the growing demand across a range of industries, and thus finding new amylases and optimizing the ones that already exist are extremely important. This study reports the successful expression, characterization and immobilization of P.

Enzyme immobilization techniques are crucial for enhancing enzyme stability and catalytic efficiency. Traditional methods such as physical adsorption and simple covalent binding often fail to maintain enzyme activity and stability. In this study, an innovative multi-level immobilization strategy was proposed to achieve efficient targeted immobilization of nuclease P1 (NP1) by fine-tuning the surface microenvironment.

Due to their lipophilicity and low content, the major sesame oleosin allergens, Ses i 4 and Ses i 5, are challenging to identify using conventional techniques. Then, a novel unlabeled electrochemical immunosensor was developed to detect the potential allergic activity of sesame oleosins. The voltammetric immunosensor was constructed using a composite of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which was synthesized in a one-pot process and modified onto a glass carbon electrode to enhance the catalytic current of the oxygen reduction reaction.

Free pectinase is commonly employed as a biocatalyst in wine clarification; however, its removal, recovery, and reuse are not feasible. To address these limitations, this study focuses on the immobilization of a commercial pectinolytic preparation (Pec) onto highly porous polymer microparticles (MPs). Seven microparticulate polyamide (PA) supports, namely PA4, PA6, PA12 (with and without magnetic properties), and the copolymeric PA612 MP, were synthesized through activated anionic ring-opening polymerization of various lactams.
