Mesoporous silicate, SBA-16 is one of the most promising supports for horseradish peroxidase. In this study, SBA-16 was synthesized, and the anchored HRP enzyme in the organized porous networks, SBA-16. The mesoporous material, SBA-16 and the anchored HRP enzyme were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N adsorption-desorption isotherms, low-angle XRD and thermogravimetric analysis. The percentage of immobilized HRP was 57%. The enzyme affinity constant, K values of soluble and immobilized enzyme were 5.27 and 3.9 mM for hydrogen peroxide and 12 and 10.4 mM for guiacol, respectively, indicating that the immobilized enzyme had more affinity to the substrate than free HRP. Also, the free and immobilized enzyme had pH and temperature optima at 5.6, and 40 °C, respectively. The free enzyme was stable at 40 °C but that for the immobilized enzyme was detected up to 60 °C. Reusability of immobilized enzyme was found to be 10 cycles; the immobilized enzyme can only retain 50% of its activity after 5 cycles. The results indicate the higher efficiency, stability, and reusability of the immobilized enzyme than free enzyme. The HRP immobilized to SBA-16 due to the large surface area, and narrow pore size distribution of SBA-16.

Methods based on enzyme labelling strategies have been widely developed for capacitance immunoassays, but most suffer from low sensitivity and are unfavorable for routine use in the early stages of diagnostics. Herein, we designed a highly efficient capacitance immunosensing method for the low-abundance neuroblastoma biomarker neuron-specific enolase (NSE) using an interdigitated micro-comb electrode. Initially, monoclonal mouse anti-human NSE capture antibodies were immobilized on the interdigitated gold electrodes using bovine serum albumin.

Combined cross-linked enzyme aggregates (Combi-CLEAs) of β-Galactosidase (β-Gal) and Glucose Isomerase (GI) allow the transformation of d-lactose to lactose-fructose syrup through one-pot cascade biocatalytic reactions. Despite its promise, the low thermostability of β-Gal and high-temperature demands for GI limits this application. Trehalose is a protein-stabilizing disaccharide which has been utilized in immobilized enzyme systems to enhance protein thermostability.

The increasing prevalence of micropollutants like cationic and anionic dyes in wastewater creates an influential environmental challenge, mainly due to their toxic effects and persistence. Current methods often lack the efficiency and versatility to cope with a wide variety of contaminants. This study explores the modification of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) using (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) to enhance their cationic properties.

Recently, multi-enzyme cascade catalysis has attracted increasing attention due to the advantages of integrating multiple enzymes, few side reactions and high catalytic efficiency. Herein, a novel dual-enzyme cascade system (GOx-FMt-HRP) was developed through cofactor-directed orientational co-immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto functional montmorillonite (FMt). The presented method realizes the reconstitution of cofactors and apo-enzymes (enzymes without cofactors), which enables enzymes to be immobilized in specific orientations on the support, thereby effectively reducing changes in their conformation.

Immobilization of fragile enzymes is vital to expanding its application in the extracellular environment. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a class of emerging porous materials, are promising platforms for enzyme immobilization owing to their high porosity and tunable structure. However, the interior pores of COFs often fail to play their roles because of inaccessibility, resulting in decreased performance of immobilized enzymes.
