A macroporous copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, poly(GMA-co-EGDMA), with various surface characteristics and mean pore size diameters ranging from 44 to 200 nm was synthesized, modified with 1,2-diaminoethane, and tested as a carrier for immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) by two covalent methods, glutaraldehyde and periodate. The highest specific activity of around 35 U g(-1) dry weight of carrier was achieved on poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) copolymers with mean pore diameters of 200 and 120 nm by the periodate method. A study of deactivation kinetics at 65 °C and in 80 % dioxane revealed that periodate immobilization also produced an appreciable stabilization of the biocatalyst, while stabilization factor depended strongly on the surface characteristics of the copolymers. HRP immobilized on copolymer with a mean pore diameter of 120 nm by periodate method showing not only the highest specific activity but also good stability was further characterized. It appeared that the immobilization resulted in the stabilization of enzyme over a broader pH range while the Michaelis constant value (K (m)) of the immobilized HRP was 10.8 mM, approximately 5.6 times higher than that of the free enzyme. After 6 cycles of repeated use in a batch reactor for pyrogallol oxidation, the immobilized HRP retained 45 % of its original activity.

In biosensing analysis, the activity of enzyme systems is limited by their fragility, and substrates catalyzed by monoenzymes tend to undergo spontaneous decomposition during ineffective mass transfer processes. In this study, we propose a novel strategy to encapsulate the glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase (GOx&HRP) cascade catalytic system within the hydrophilic zeolite imidazole framework ZIF-90. By leveraging the specific pore structure of ZIF-90, we effectively immobilized GOx and HRP molecules in their three-dimensional conformations, which improved the catalytic activity of the encapsulated enzymes compared with that of free GOx and HRP in various harsh environments.

Article Synopsis
- - The proposed strategy for detecting HER2, a key marker in breast cancer, involves a three-dimensional structure called COF that efficiently immobilizes the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and uses a new redox mediator, 4-acetamidophenol (APAP), for enhanced electrochemical detection.
- - The combination of COF's structure and HRP results in better catalytic activity and stability compared to free HRP, allowing for improved target recognition and signal amplification in the detection process.
- - This advanced electrochemical aptasensor shows exceptional specificity and sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.418 pg/mL for HER2, outperforming conventional methods and with the ability to differentiate between

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes extensive damage to multiple organs and tissues and has no known cure. This study introduces a microfluidic detection platform that combines a microfluidic reaction chip with a micro-spectrometer to accurately detect the anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP Ab) biomarker, commonly associated with arthritis. The surface of the microfluidic reaction chip is functionalized using streptavidin to enable the subsequent immobilization of biotinylated-labeled cyclic citrullinated peptide (biotin-CCP) molecules through a streptavidin-biotin reaction.

Article Synopsis
- Creating specific structures in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can boost the performance of embedded enzymes, with defects being a useful enhancement.
- Traditional methods for inducing defects often require additional substances, but this study introduces a novel approach to prepare defective MAF-7 by changing the order of reactant addition without those extras.
- The resulting framework shows significantly improved enzyme activities, particularly for microcystinase A, lysozyme, and horseradish peroxidase, highlighting a simple method to enhance enzyme function through defect formation.

In the current work, electrostatic interactions were used to immobilize the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto five types of ceramic materials (C) with different concentrations of oxidized metals (C1-C5). The highest immobilization efficiency (70 and 77%) was detected at 6 mg C3 and 18 enzyme units. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis of C3-HRP confirmed the immobilization of the enzyme.
