Published: December 2020

Although enzymes are known for their excellent catalytic performance, industrial, medical or biotechnological applications should overcome some drawbacks like long-term stability under specific conditions of the application. Immobilized enzymes have offered advantages over soluble counterparts in many industrial and laboratory scale applications by increasing operational stability and reusability. When the immobilization matrix has magnetic properties, an additional advantage is obtained as simpler processing. Iron-based superparamagnetic nano-sized particles has large surface area for bio-compatible applications are especially in focus. Adding nanofibrous polymers to magnetic nanoparticles has been an excellent way to increase efficiency of biocatalyst immobilization by further increasing loading capacity. This chapter explains various magnetic enzyme-nanoparticles based preparations with potential for future industrial applications like invertase, lipase and as model studies and focus on the nanofibrous polymer brush grafting as a way to increase catalytic efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles.

A novel nanocomposite magnetic hydrogel was synthesized based on κ-carrageenan, acrylic acid, and activated carbon as an absorbent for removing heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) were employed to confirm the structure of the nanocomposite hydrogels. The effects of contact time, pH, particle size, temperature, and metal ion concentration on the metal ion adsorption were investigated.

Improving the catalytic efficiency and recyclability of immobilized enzyme remained a serious challenge in industrial applications. Enzyme immobilization in the amorphous zeolite imidazolate framework (aZIF) preserved high enzyme activity, but still faced separation difficulties and a low catalytic efficiency in practice. In this study, a one-pot co-precipitation method was used to form the enzyme-aZIF/magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) biocomposite by rapidly precipitating snailase (Sna) and β-glucosidase (β-G) with metal/ligand on MNP and modifying with L-aspartic acid (Asp).

A dual-signal aptamer-based assay utilizing colorimetric and fluorescence techniques was developed for the determination of zearalenone (ZEN). The CdTe quantum dots, serving as the fluorescent signal source, were surface-modified onto FeO@SiO and subsequently functionalized with the aptamer. The COF-Au was modified with complementary chain, which possessed peroxide (POD)-like enzyme properties, and could catalyze the peroxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to ox TMB, resulting in the generation of colorimetric signals.

This manuscript describes the successful synthesis of FeO nanoparticles coated with β-cyclodextrin-intercalated layered double hydroxide, which were utilized to remove Uranium (VI) from an aqueous solution effectively. The newly developed nano-adsorbent underwent thorough analysis through advanced techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Through the utilization of a one-variable-at-a-time strategy, we effectively enhanced the removal process by optimizing key factors such as the sample's pH and the amount of adsorbent utilized.
