    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.

    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.
