A new type of magnetic metal chelating carrier (PCMM-IDA-Cu) was prepared for the immobilization of papain, using chitosan as raw material, nano FeO as magnetic material, SiO as porogen, iminodiacetic acid (IDA) as a chelating ligand, and binding with transition metal ion (Cu). The resulting products were well characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The BBD (Box-Behnken Design) of RSM (Response Surface Methodology) was applied to analyze the optimum enzyme immobilization conditions. The results showed that the enzyme immobilization capacity was 94.18mg/g of PCMM-IDA-Cu, with 7.976U/mg of relative immobilized enzyme activity under the optimum conditions (pH6.73, 1.56mg enzyme/15.0mg carrier, 30.9°C), and the recovery of enzyme activity was reached 87.21%. Compared with the free papain, the immobilized papain displayed enhanced enzyme activity, superior enzymatic properties, good operational stability and reusability. It is worth mentioning that the novel carriers exhibited selectively biological adsorption capacity, and this technique is an alternative method for the immobilization of enzyme, making the process more efficient and economic.

A number of studies have been demonstrated that arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX-5) plays a role in regulating a range of physiological and pathological processes through the catalysis of leukotriene formation from arachidonic acid (ARA). The coding sequence of ALOX-5 from Apostichopus japonicus (Aj-ALOX-5) was successfully amplified, resulting in a 2028 bp ORF sequence that encodes 674 amino acids. A comparison of the amino acid sequence with those of other 5-lipoxygenases revealed that Aj-ALOX-5 has the N-terminal "PLAT domain" and C-terminal "lipoxygenase structural domain" characteristic of this enzyme family.

Nitrate reductase (NR) is an essential enzyme because of its role in nitrogen metabolism and in key signaling events through the generation of the reactive nitrogen species, nitric oxide (NO). In this work, we evaluated changes in endogenous NO levels during the onset of P-restriction in soybean plants (Glycine max), focusing on the possible pathways involved in its generation, namely NR and NO synthase like activity, NOS, and the subsequent role of NR during low P-acclimation. During the first 96h of P-starvation NO levels increased in the leaves.
