Enzyme immobilization has been developing since the 1960s and although many industrial biocatalytic processes use technology to improve enzyme performance, still today we are far from full exploitation of field. One clear reason is that evaluate based on only a few experiments not always well-designed. In contrast other reviews subject, here highlight pitfalls using incorrectly designed protocols explain why in cases sub-optimal results obtained. We also describe solutions overcome these challenges come conclusion recent developments material science, bioprocess engineering protein science continue open new opportunities for future. this way, immobilization, being mature discipline, remains as subject high interest where intense research necessary take advantage possibilities.

Enzyme Immobilization and Co-Immobilization: Main Framework, Advances and Some Applications

Processes, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 10(3), С. 494 - 494

Опубликована: Март 1, 2022

Enzymes are outstanding (bio)catalysts, not solely on account of their ability to increase reaction rates by up several orders magnitude but also for the high degree substrate specificity, regiospecificity and stereospecificity. The use development enzymes as robust biocatalysts is one main challenges in biotechnology. However, despite specificities turnover enzymes, there drawbacks. At industrial level, these drawbacks typically overcome resorting immobilized enhance stability. Immobilization allows reuse, increases stability, facilitates process control, eases product recovery, enhances yield quality. This especially important expensive those obtained low fermentation with relatively activity. review provides an integrated perspective (multi)enzyme immobilization that abridges a critical evaluation methods carriers, biocatalyst metrics, impact key carrier features performance, trends towards miniaturization detailed illustrative examples representative biocatalytic applications promoting sustainability.

Expanding the Synthetic Toolbox through Metal–Enzyme Cascade Reactions

Chemical Reviews, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 123(9), С. 5297 - 5346

Опубликована: Янв. 10, 2023

The combination of metal-, photo-, enzyme-, and/or organocatalysis provides multiple synthetic solutions, especially when the creation chiral centers is involved. Historically, enzymes and transition metal species have been exploited simultaneously through dynamic kinetic resolutions racemates. However, more recently, linear cascades appeared as elegant solutions for preparation valuable organic molecules combining bioprocesses metal-catalyzed transformations. Many advantages are derived from this symbiosis, although there still bottlenecks to be addressed including successful coexistence both catalyst types, need compatible reaction media mild conditions, or minimization cross-reactivities. Therefore, here also provided by means coimmobilization, compartmentalization strategies, flow chemistry, etc. A comprehensive review presented focusing on period 2015 early 2022, which has divided into two main sections that comprise first use metals independent catalysts but working in an orchestral sequential manner, later their application bionanohybrid materials coimmobilization adequate supports. Each part classified different subheadings, based catalyzed catalyst, while development nonasymmetric stereoselective processes was considered section.

To arrest these trends, logic seeking new bioactive agents with enhanced mimicry considered; notably that molecules constructed proteins (enzymes) more likely to interact other (e.g., targets transporters), notion validated products. Nature's finite number building blocks their interactions necessarily reduce potential numbers structures, yet enable expansion chemical space inherent diversity physical characteristics, pertinent property-based design. feasible variations motifs considered expanded encompass pseudo-natural products, leading further logical step harnessing bioprocessing routes access them.
