Publication Metadata only Preparation and characterization of UV-curable polymeric support for covalent immobilization of xylanase enzyme(ELSEVIER, 2011) KAHRAMAN, MEMET VEZİR; Akdemir, Zumrut Seden; Demir, Serap; Kahraman, M. Vezir; Apohan, Nilhan KayamanThe hydroxyl group of poly(ethylene glycol) monoacrylate (PEGMA) was activated by 1 1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and then a xylanase enzyme was immobilized to amine active PEGMA UV-curable polymeric support formulation was prepared by mixing the xylanase bonded PEGMA aliphatic polyester 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and photoinitiator After UV irradiation the enzymatic activity of the polymeric matrix was evaluated and compared with the corresponding free enzyme By immobilization the temperature resistance of the enzyme was improved and showed maximum activity at 60 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 60 while for the optimal pH of the immobilized enzyme was 65 The immobilized enzyme retained 75% of its activity after 33 runs 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 results have confirmed the evidence of enzyme in the structure of the polymeric material (c) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reservedPublication Metadata only Immobilization of alpha-amylase onto poly(glycidyl methacrylate) grafted electrospun fibers by ATRP(ELSEVIER, 2015) OKTAY, BURCU; Oktay, Burcu; Demir, Serap; Kayaman-Apohan, NilhanIn this study, novel alpha-amylase immobilized poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers were prepared. The PVA nanofiber surfaces were functionalized with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BiBBr) and followed by surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The morphology of the poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) grafted PVA nanofibers was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also PGMA brushes were confirmed by X-ray photo electron microscopy (XPS). alpha-Amylase was immobilized in a one step process onto the PGMA grafted PVA nanofiber. The characteristic properties of the immobilized and free enzymes were examined. The thermal stability of the enzyme was improved and showed maximum activity at 37 degrees C by immobilization, pH values of the maximum activity of the free and immobilized enzymes were also found at 6.0 and 6.5, respectively. Free enzyme lost its activity completely within 15 days. The immobilized enzyme lost only 23.8% of its activity within 30 days. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

In this study, we investigated a new method for enzyme immobilization. Alkyne-pectinase was first immobilized on the polyethyleneimine-based cryogel via a spontaneous amino-yne click reaction under very mild conditions and then the apple juice was clarified. Amino-yne click reactions do not need any photoinitiator or catalyst, unlike other click reactions. The immobilization efficiency of the alkyne pectinase was 90%. The immobilized enzyme continued to retain 70% of its initial activity after 60 days. An improvement observed in the pH tolerance in the range of 6.5-8.0. The higher thermal tolerance of the immobilized pectinase was increased above 50 degrees C. Immobilized pectinase showed 100% activity at 55 degrees C and pH 6.5. The clarification rate of apple juice was achieved about 50% by the pectinase immobilized support. (C) 2020 Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The immobilization of AChE is an active area of research and recently the use of sol-gel-derived materials for enzyme immobilization has gained a lot of attraction. In this work, AChE was covalently immobilized onto a photocured substrate which was reinforced with an oligosiloxane resin. The oligosiloxane resin was designed to have both vinyl and epoxide groups and prepared via nonhydrolytic sol-gel technique. The strategy employed in this study offered a platform that has good mechanical and thermal properties and also suitable for modification. Thus, AChE was also immobilized onto these substrates after amine modification of the epoxy groups and followed by glutaraldehyde activation. Over 80% enzyme immobilization yield was achieved. At certain pH values (5.5 and 8.5) and under relatively higher temperatures (above 40 degrees C) the immobilized enzymes were found to have higher catalytic activity than the free enzyme. Furthermore, by immobilization the reuse and the storage stability of the enzyme was improved and the stability of the immobilized enzyme against the inhibitory effects of certain metal cations was enhanced [GRAPHICS] .

K., DEMİR S., ÇAKMAKÇI E., OGAN A.Acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) is a group of enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) into choline and acetate. AChE inhibition is commonly utilized as a biomarker for pesticides. In membrane based AChE biosensors the enzyme immobilization onto an electrode surface is of prime importance. In previous studies, conducting polymers-based supports have been used for the immobilization of AChE. In this study, a novel immobilization platform was developed. The simultaneous polymerization of pyrrole and functional thiol/ene monomers was performed to prepare conductive thermosets. AchE was covalently immobilized onto the membranes through the epoxy functional groups. After the immobilization process, the optimal temperature increased to 50 °C, displaying a better thermal stability and the optimum pH was elevated to 8.5. The activity of the immobilized enzyme was tested in the presence of several metals, and it was found that Cu2+ ions caused a noticable inhibition. After 10 cycles, the immobilized enzyme retained 51% of its original activity. In accordance with our results; the durability and the stability of the immobilized enzyme were improved. In future studies, the method applied here can be used in the design of an AchE biosensor.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.
