Publication Metadata only alpha-Amylase immobilization on functionalized nano CaCO3 by covalent attachment(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2012) KAHRAMAN, MEMET VEZİR; Demir, Serap; Gok, Sevda Burcu; Kahraman, Memet VezirIn this study, a-amylase was immobilized on glutaraldehyde activated silanized calcium carbonate nanoparticles by a using covalent binding method. The surface modified nano calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were characterized using FTIR and SEM. Immobilization yield was found as 199.43 mg/g of calcium carbonate nanoparticles. The maximum activity was observed at pH 6.5. The immobilized enzyme had a higher activity at elevated temperature (5090 degrees C) than the free one. Reuse studies demonstrated that the immobilized enzyme could reuse 25 times while retaining 18.2% of its activity. Free enzyme lost its activity completely within 15 days. Vmax values for the free and immobilized enzymes were calculated as 10 and 0.35 mg/mL/min, respectively.Publication Metadata only 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 VezirThiol-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.Publication Metadata only 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.Publication Open Access Covalent immobilization of acetylcholinesterase on a novel polyacrylic acid-based nanofiber membrane(WILEY, 2018-04) OGAN, AYŞE; Cakiroglu, Bekir; Cigil, Asli Beyler; Ogan, Ayse; Kahraman, M. Vezir; Demir, SerapIn this study, polyacrylic acid-based nanofiber (NF) membrane was prepared via electrospinning method. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from Electrophorus electricus was covalently immobilized onto polyacrylic acid-based NF membrane by demonstrating efficient enzyme immobilization, and immobilization capacity of polymer membranes was found to be 0.4 mg/g. The novel NF membrane was synthesized via thermally activated surface reconstruction, and activation with carbonyldiimidazole upon electrospinning. The morphology of the polyacrylic acid-based membrane was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of temperature and pH on enzyme activity was investigated and maxima activities for free and immobilized enzyme were observed at 30 and 35 degrees C, and pH 7.4 and 8.0, respectively. The effect of 1 mM Mn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+ ions on the stability of the immobilized AChE was also investigated. According to the Michaelis-Menten plot, AChE possessed a lower affinity to acetylthiocholine iodide after immobilization, and the Michaelis-Menten constant of immobilized and free AChE were found to be 0.5008 and 0.4733 mM, respectively. The immobilized AChE demonstrated satisfactory reusability, and even after 10 consecutive activity assay runs, AChE maintained ca. 87% of its initial activity. Free enzyme lost its activity completely within 60 days, while the immobilized enzyme retained approximately 70% of the initial activity under the same storage time. The favorable reusability of immobilized AChE enables the support to be employable to develop the AChE-based biosensors.
