Enzyme immobilization is an essential prerequisite for biocatalysis. In this context, emulsion provides an excellent template for assembling enzymes at the oil-water interface. A microfluidic approach has been adopted to produce oil-in-water-type emulsions stabilized by gold nanoparticle-catalase conjugates. In situ ring-opening polymerization of the oil phase produces solid core enzyme-immobilized microcapsules (MCs). These resultant MCs exhibited a value of 42 mM and shows 1.1-fold higher activity compared to free enzymes. Finally, the robust MCs showed excellent recyclability, which can meet the demand of industrial biotechnological applications.
酶固定化是生物催化的一个重要前提条件。在这种情况下,乳液为在油水界面组装酶提供了一个优良的模板。已采用微流控方法来制备由金纳米颗粒 - 过氧化氢酶共轭物稳定的水包油型乳液。油相的原位开环聚合产生了固定有酶的实心微胶囊(MCs)。这些所得的微胶囊表现出42 mM的值,并且与游离酶相比活性高1.1倍。最后,坚固的微胶囊显示出优异的可回收性,能够满足工业生物技术应用的需求。
