Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with tunable structures and versatile chemical functionalities offer great promise for enzyme immobilization. This study explores the "anchoring effect" induced by covalent bonding, which significantly enhances enzymatic efficiency. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was covalently immobilized onto an epoxy-functionalized COF (oCOF-TATP) incorporating epoxy groups into framework. The immobilization approach increased loading from 26 mg/g (physical adsorption) to 40 mg/g. Secondary structure analysis revealed that binding promoted a shift α-helix β-sheet structure, more substantial effect than physical adsorption. Molecular dynamics simulations further confirmed anchoring enhanced structural rigidity exposed enzyme's active site. led 8.14% increase in accessible surface area 7.55% rise hydrogen bonding interactions. These improvements resulted significant catalytic enhancements, turnover rate (kcat) efficiency (kcat/KM) of GOx ⊂ oCOF-TATP reaching 197 388% free enzyme, respectively. In glucose oxidation assays, exhibited 115% product compared GOx, maintaining over 95% activity after six reuse cycles demonstrating superior stability under various conditions. represents novel mechanism optimizing performance operational stability.
