- Abstract
A reusable support system for the immobilization of lipases is developed using hybrid polymer-inorganic core shell nanoparticles. The biocatalyst core consists of a silica nanoparticle. PMMA is grafted from the nanoparticle as polymer brush via ARGET ATRP (activator regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization), which allows defining the surface properties by chemical synthesis conditions. Lipase B from Candida antarctica is immobilized on the hybrid particles. The activity and stability of the biocatalyst are analyzed by spectroscopic activity analysis. It is shown that the hydrophobic PMMA brushes provide an activating surface for the lipase giving a higher specific activity than the enzyme in solution. Varying the surface structure from disordered to ordered polymer brushes reveals that the reusability of the biocatalyst is more effectively optimized by the surface structure than by the introduction of crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GDA). The developed immobilization system is highly suitable for biocatalysis in non-native media which is shown by a transesterification assay in isopropyl alcohol and an esterification reaction in n-heptane.
