Enzyme immobilization
The concept of enzyme immobilization
Enzyme & insoluble carrier→binding→a process that completely or basically limits the catalytic activity of free enzymes, cells or organelles to a certain space.
The immobilized enzyme still has the catalytic activity of the enzyme and can react continuously, and the reacted enzyme can be recycled and reused.
method
adsorption method
adsorption method

carrier
organic carrier
Starch, gluten, fiber, chitin...
inorganic carrier

(Generally <1mg protein/g adsorption)
Less loss of enzyme activity
The binding force with the carrier is weak and easy to fall off
Ion adsorption
Suitable pH & ionic strength → side chain dissociation group of enzyme & water-insoluble carrier containing ion exchange group → electrostatic force → binding
carrier
anion exchanger
cation exchanger
Representative enzymes
β-amylase, glucoamylase, glucose isomerase, DEAE-Sephadex immobilized aminoacylase
Features
advantage
The operation is simple, the treatment conditions are mild, and more highly active immobilized enzymes can be obtained;
Can fully choose carriers with different charges and shapes,
The adsorption process can simultaneously purify the enzyme,
The immobilized enzyme can be reactivated after being inactivated during use, and the carrier can be recycled and reused.
shortcoming
The immobilized enzyme prepared by adsorption method is easy to fall off, which affects the purity of the product and the stability of the operation.
embedding method
Certain method → Enzyme embedded in semi-permeable carrier
Embedding method
Gel embedding method
Enzymes or enzyme-containing bacterial cells are embedded in micropores inside various gels to produce immobilized enzymes/immobilized bacterial cells.
Commonly used gels
Agar gel, calcium alginate gel, carrageenan, gelatin, polyacrylamide gel, photo-cross-linked resin, etc.
Features
The conditions are mild and have little impact on enzyme activity, but the intensity is poor.
semipermeable membrane embedding method
Also known as: microcapsule embedding method, which refers to positioning enzyme molecules in a semipermeable polymer membrane to make microencapsulated enzymes.
Commonly used semipermeable membranes
Polyamide film, collodion film, nitrocellulose, polystyrene, chitosan, etc.
Features
The size of the microcapsules can be controlled, the encapsulation time is short, the contact surface area between the enzyme and the substrate is large, and multiple enzymes can be immobilized in the same capsule, which is conducive to the immobilization of multiple enzymes.
Features
advantage
easy to use,
Only embedded, no chemical reaction →immobilized enzyme with higher activity,
It is suitable for most enzymes, crude enzyme preparations, and even intact microbial cells.
shortcoming
Only small molecule substrates & products can pass through the gel network, but macromolecular substrates are not suitable.
The resistance of the gel network to substance diffusion leads to changes in the kinetic behavior of the immobilized enzyme and reduced activity.
Covalent bonding method/covalent coupling method

Enzyme functional group covalently bound to the carrier
Amino group, phenol group, imidazole group, mercapto group, hydroxyl group, indole group, etc.

Synthetic polymers (nylon, polyamino acids)
Inorganic carrier (porous glass, metal oxide)
Combining methods
Diazotization method, alkylation method, arylation method, condensation reaction, azide reaction, thiol-dithiol exchange method, metal coupling reaction, etc.
Features
advantage
The combination is firm and not easy to fall off, which is convenient for continuous use.
shortcoming
The carrier activation operation is complex,
Moreover, the enzyme directly participates in chemical reactions during the preparation process, which can easily cause changes in the enzyme structure, reduce or destroy the activity of the immobilized enzyme, and result in a low recovery rate (about 30%).
Cross-linking method
Dual/multifunctional reagent → between enzyme molecules or between enzyme and carrier or between enzyme and inert protein → cross-linking reaction
Commonly used cross-linking agents
Glutaraldehyde, bisazobenzidine-2,2-disulfonic acid...
Cross-linking reaction
High enzyme concentration → occurs between: enzyme molecules
After: insoluble state
Low enzyme concentration → occurs: inside the enzyme molecule
Cross-linking method
Direct cross-linking method
Glutaraldehyde solution → enzyme solution → insoluble immobilized enzyme
enzyme-assisted protein cross-linking
Dual/multifunctional reagent → inert protein & enzyme → cross-linking
Carrier cross-linking method
Part of the functional group & carrier of the dual/multifunctional reagent → cross-linking, Another part of the functional group & enzyme protein → cross-linking
Adsorption cross-linking method
The enzyme is adsorbed on the adsorbent (silica gel, bentonite, alumina, etc.) → cross-linked with the bifunctional reagent
Features
The combination is strong and can be used for a long time;
However, the conditions are severe and the loss of enzyme activity is large.
The immobilized enzyme particles are small and inconvenient to use.
Improve
Used in combination with adsorption method/embedment method

It is conducive to realizing pipelined, continuous and automated operations, and is easy to be used in conjunction with various separation methods.

Only suitable for water-soluble, small molecule substrates;
Compared with intact bacteria, it is not suitable for multi-enzyme reactions and requires cofactors.
nature
Vitality: Usually reduced ↓
reason
conformational changes
The interaction between the enzyme and the carrier causes the conformation of the active center of the enzyme to change (mainly occurs in adsorption methods and covalent coupling methods), resulting in a decrease in enzyme activity.
three-dimensional shielding effect
Due to the steric hindrance of the carrier to the active center or regulatory center of the enzyme, the contact between the enzyme and the substrate is affected.
Stability: usually improved ↑
Thermal stability↑
pH-enzyme activity relationship
The optimal pH & enzyme activity-pH curve of the reaction: change ←Based on: Enzyme protein & carrier charge
