- Abstract
Alcohol oxidase from Pichia pastoris was immobilized on nanoporous aluminium oxide membranes by silanization and activation by carbonyldiimidazole to create a flow-through enzyme reactor. Kinetic analysis of the hydrogen peroxide generation was carried out for a number of alcohols using a subsequent reaction with horseradish peroxidase and ABTS. The activity data for the immobilized enzyme showed a general similarity with literature data in solution, and the reactor could generate 80 mmol HO/h per litre reactor volume. Horseradish peroxidase was immobilized by the same technique to construct bienzymatic modular reactors. These were used in both single pass mode and circulating mode. Pulsed injections of methanol resulted in a linear relation between response and concentration, allowing quantitative concentration measurement. The immobilized alcohol oxidase retained 58 % of initial activity after 3 weeks of storage and repeated use.
