    Preparation and characterization of sol-gel hybrid coating films for covalent immobilization of lipase enzyme
    (ELSEVIER, 2016) OGAN, AYŞE; Yuce-Dursun, Basak; Cigil, Asli Beyler; Dongez, Dilek; Kahraman, M. Vezir; Ogan, Ayse; Demir, Serap
    In this study UV-curable hybrid epoxy-silica polymer films were prepared via sol-gel method. Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) from Candida rugosa was covalently immobilized onto hybrid epoxy-silica polymer films and immobilization capacity of polymer films was found 7.22 mg g(-1). The morphology of the polymeric support was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Immobilized and free enzymes were used in two different reaction systems: hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl palmitate in aqueous medium and synthesis of p-nitrophenyl linoleate (from p-nitrophenol and linoleic acid) in n-hexane medium. The effect of temperature on hydrolytic and synthetic activities was investigated and observed maximum activities at 50 degrees C and 45 degrees C for immobilized enzyme, orderly. Km values for free enzyme were determined 0.71 and 1.12 mM by hydrolytic and synthetic activity assays, respectively, while these values were observed as 0.91 mM and 1.19 mM for immobilized enzyme. At the end of 30 repeated cycles, 56% and 59% of initial activities remained for hydrolytic and synthetic assays, respectively. Native enzyme lost its activity completely within 20 days, whereas the immobilized enzyme retained for hydrolytic and synthetic activities was approximately 82% and 72%, respectively, under the same storage time.

    Alpha-Amylase Immobilization on Epoxy Containing Thiol-Ene Photocurable Materials
    (KOREAN SOC MICROBIOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2013) ÇAKMAKÇI, EMRAH; Cakmakci, Emrah; Danis, Ozkan; Demir, Serap; Mulazim, Yusuf; Kahraman, Memet Vezir
    Thiol-ene polymerization is a versatile tool for several applications. Here we report the preparation of epoxide groups containing thiol-ene photocurable polymeric support and the covalent immobilization of alpha-amylase onto these polymeric materials. The morphology of the polymeric support was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) coupled with SEM was used to explore the chemical composition. The polymeric support and the immobilization of the enzyme were characterized by FTIR analysis. SEM-EDS and FTIR results showed that the enzyme was successfully covalently attached to the polymeric support. The immobilization efficiency and enzyme activity of alpha-amylase were examined at various pH (5.0-8.0) and temperature (30-80 degrees C) values. The storage stability and reusability of immobilized alpha-amylase were investigated. The immobilization yield was 276 +/- 1.6 mg per gram of polymeric support. Enzyme assays demonstrated that the immobilized enzyme exhibited better thermostability than the free one. The storage stability and reusability were improved by the immobilization on this enzyme support. Free enzyme lost its activity completely within 15 days. On the other hand, the immobilized enzyme retained 86.7% of its activity after 30 days. These results confirm that alpha-amylase was successfully immobilized and gained a more stable character compared with the free one.

    Xylanase immobilization on functionalized polyaniline support by covalent attachment
    (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2013) KAHRAMAN, MEMET VEZİR; Madakbas, Seyfullah; Danis, Ozkan; Demir, Serap; Kahraman, Memet Vezir
    Chemically synthesized polyaniline (PANI) was used as polymeric support for xylanase immobilization. The polymer was first activated with glutaraldehyde and then xylanase was successfully immobilized. Xylanase bound polymer was characterized using FTIR. The optimum pH of the immobilized enzyme was at pH 5, which was shifted 1.0?pH unit to the acidic region when compared to the free enzyme. Thermal stability of the xylanase was improved with the immobilization. The characteristic properties of the immobilized and native enzyme, such as kinetic activity, reusability and storage stability were also studied at optimum pH and temperature. Immobilized enzyme exhibited better reusability and storage stability than the free one. Vmax values for the free and immobilized enzymes were calculated as 1.44 and 0.44?mg/mL/min, respectively. The Km values for the immobilized xylanase were found to be lower.

    Covalent immobilization of a-amylase onto thermally crosslinked electrospun PVA/PAA nanofibrous hybrid membranes
    (WILEY, 2013) KAHRAMAN, MEMET VEZİR; Basturk, Emre; Demir, Serap; Danis, Ozkan; Kahraman, Memet Vezir
    Poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) (PVA/PAA) nanofibers with the fiber diameter of 100150 nanometers were fabricated by electrospinning. PVA/PAA nanofibers were crosslinked by heat-induced esterification and resulting nanofiber mats insoluble in water. a-Amylase was covalently immobilized onto the PVA/PAA nanofiber surfaces via the activation of amine groups in the presence of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole. The immobilized a-amylase has more resistance to temperature inactivation than that of the free form and showed maximum activity at 50 degrees C. pH-dependent activities of the free and immobilized enzymes were also investigated, and it was found that the pH of maximum activity for the free enzyme was 6.5, while for the optimal pH of the immobilized enzyme was 6.0. Reuse studies demonstrated that the immobilized enzyme could reuse 15 times while retaining 81.7% of its activity. Free enzyme lost its activity completely within 15 days. Immobilized enzyme lost only 17.1% of its activity in 30 days. (C) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2012

    Immobilization of alpha- amylase on aminated polyimide membrane: Preparation, characterization, and properties
    (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2014) ÇAKMAKÇI, EMRAH; Cakmakci, Emrah; Cigil, Asli Beyler; Danis, Ozkan; Demir, Serap; Kahraman, Memet Vezir
    -amylase was covalently immobilized on functionalized polyimide (PI) membranes via glutaraldehyde (GA) activation. 3,3,4,4-Benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BTDA) and 4,4-oxydianline (4,4-ODA) based polyimide membranes were obtained via thermal imidization. Free amine groups on the surface of the polyimide membranes were generated by the amination reaction of polyimides with hexamethylenediamine (HMDA). Surface-aminated membranes were subjected to enzyme immobilization after GA activation. Immobilization efficiency and enzyme activity of -amylase was examined at various pH (3.0-8.0) and temperature (15-80 degrees C). The storage stability and reusability of immobilized -amylase were investigated. Immobilization yield was found as 359.53mg per gram of modified polyimide films. Enzyme assays demonstrated that the immobilized enzyme exhibited better thermo stability than the free one. The storage stability and reusability improved by the immobilization on this enzyme support. Free enzyme lost its activity completely within 15 days. On the other hand, the immobilized enzyme retained 79.98% of its activity after 30 days. These results confirmed that -amylase was successfully immobilized and gained more stable character compared to the free enzyme.

    Preparation, characterization, and drug release properties of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels having beta-cyclodextrin functionality
    (JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2008) OGAN, AYŞE; Demir, Serap; Kahraman, M. Vezir; Bora, Nil; Apohan, Nilhan Kayaman; Ogan, Ayse
    A new beta-cyclodextrin urethane-methacrylate monomer was synthesized from the reaction of toluene-2,4-diisocyanate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD). Based on inclusion character of beta-CD, a series of hydrogels were prepared by irradiating the mixtures of beta-cyclodextrin urethane-methacrylate monomer (beta-CD-UM), poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEG-DA), HEMA, and the photoinitator. Gel percentages and equilibrium swelling ratios (%) of hydrogels were investigated. It was observed that the equilibrium-swelling ratio increased with increasing beta-CD-UM content in the hydrogel composition. SEM images demonstrated that beta-CD-UM based hydrogel have porous fractured surface. In this study four different drug molecules, salicylic acid, sulfathiazole, rifampicin, and methyl orange as model drug, which are capable of forming inclusion complexes with beta-CD were chosen. For sulfathiazole and rifampicin, the drug loadings are very low (0.04 and 0.008 mmol/g dry gel), whereas methyl orange and salicylic acid drug uptakes are found as 0.15 and 0.18 mmol/g dry gel, respectively. The incorporation of beta-CD-UM comonomer into the gel slightly reduces the methyl orange and salicylic acid releases. However, a significant enhancement was achieved in the case of sulfathiazole delivery. It can be concluded that the inclusion complex formation capability of beta-CD moiety increases the drug release by improving the aqueous solubility of hydrophobic drugs. On the other hand, in the case of hydrophilic drugs, the drug release retards by forming strong drug-beta-CD complex and reducing the drug diffusivity. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Optimizing the immobilization conditions of beta-galactosidase on UV-cured epoxy-based polymeric film using response surface methodology
    (WILEY, 2021) OGAN, AYŞE; KAHRAMAN, MEMET VEZİR; DANIŞ, ÖZKAN; DEMİR, SERAP; Beyler-Cigil, Asli; Danis, Ozkan; Sarsar, Onur; Kahraman, Memet Vezir; Ogan, Ayse; Demir, Serap
    UV-cured epoxy-based polymeric film was prepared from glycidyl methacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, and poly(ethylene glycol) methylether acrylate. 2-hydroxy-2- methylpropiophenone was used as photo initiator. Covalent binding through epoxy groups was employed to immobilize beta-galactosidase from Escherichia coli onto this film, and immobilization conditions were optimized by the response surface methodology. ATR-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was carried out to characterize the epoxy-based polymeric film. Immobilization yield of beta-galactosidase on the material was calculated as 3.57 mg/g and the highest enzyme activity for the immobilized enzyme recorded at pH 6.5 degrees C and 60 degrees C. The immobilized enzyme preserved 51% of its activity at the end of 12 runs. Free and immobilized enzyme hydrolyzed 163.8 and 172.3 mu M lactose from 1% lactose, respectively. Kinetic parameters of both free and immobilized beta-galactosidase were also investigated, and K-m values were determined to be 0.647 and 0.7263 mM, respectively. Practical applications In our study we prepared a UV-cured epoxy-based polymeric film and optimized the immobilization conditions of beta-galactosidase from Escherichia coli onto this polymeric film by using response surface methodology (RSM). For this purpose, three-level and three-factor Box-Behnken design, which is an independent, rotatable or nearly rotatable, quadratic design, was applied. Optimal levels of three variables, namely, the amount of enzyme, immobilization time, and pH were determined using Box-Behnken experimental design. Lactose hydrolysis studies were performed from milk and lactose samples using free and immobilized enzyme. In addition, kinetic parameters, storage stability, and re-usability of immobilized beta-galactosidase were examined.
