Published: July 2016

The laccase and ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIO) have been assembled inside the tubular mesoporous silica via co-adsorption technology to prepare host/guest-type immobilized laccase, which is applied to degrade methoxychlor (MXC) in aqueous and reverse micelle environments. The effects of various parameters on degradation of MXC were studied. Under the optimum conditions, the degradation rate could reach maximum value of 45.6 % and remain at 20.8 % after seven cycles. Moreover, the addition of small molecular compound 2, 2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) to the system could greatly improve the degradation efficiency. The MXC degradation process is a first-order reaction, and the activation energy of MXC degradation catalyzed by immobilized laccase (41.46 kJ mol(-1)) is relatively lower than that catalyzed by free laccase (44.91 kJ mol(-1)). Based on the degradation products measured by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), the degradation mechanism of MXC has also been proposed.

The environmental persistence of pharmaceuticals represents a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health, while limitations in conventional wastewater treatment methods underscore the urgent need for innovative and eco-friendly degradation strategies. Photobiocatalytic approaches provide a promising solution for the effective degradation of pharmaceutical contaminants by harnessing the synergistic effects of both photocatalysts and biocatalysts. In this study, we developed a photobiocatalytic composite by co-immobilizing laccase enzyme and zinc oxide nanoparticles on bacterial cellulose synthesized from orange peel waste.

Enzymatic fuel cells (EFCs) are emerging as promising technologies in renewable energy and biomedical applications, utilizing enzyme catalysts to convert the chemical energy of renewable biomass into electrical energy, known for their high energy conversion efficiency and excellent biocompatibility. Currently, EFCs face challenges of poor stability and catalytic efficiency at the cathodes, necessitating solutions to enhance the oriented immobilization of multicopper oxidases for improved heterogeneous electron transfer efficiency. This study successfully identified a surface-binding peptide (SBP, 13 amino acids) derived from a methionine-rich fragment (MetRich, 53 amino acids) in CueO through semirational design.
