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 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 VezirPoly(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., 2012Publication 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 Metadata only Amine functional magnetic nanoparticles via waterborne thiol-ene suspension photopolymerization for antibody immobilization(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018) OGAN, AYŞE; Muhsir, Pelin; Cakmakci, Emrah; Demir, Serap; Ogan, AyseThe modification of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) via different routes for biomolecule binding is an attractive area of research. Waterborne thiol-ene suspension photopolymerization (TESP) can be a useful method for preparing functional MNPs. In this study, for the very first time waterborne TESP was performed in the presence of MNPs. Neat MNPs were coated and in situ functionalized with amine groups by using thiol-ene chemistry. Engrailed-2 (EN2) protein, a potential biomarker for various cancers such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer, is known to be a strong binder to a specific DNA sequence (50-TAATTA-30) to regulate transcription. Anti-EN2 antibodies were immobilized onto these MNPs by physical adsorption and covalent bonding methods, respectively. The amount of the physically immobilized antibodies (0.54 mg/g) were found to be lower than the loading of the covalently bonded antibodies (1.775 mg/g). The biomarker level in the artificial solutions prepared was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Coated MNPs were characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM and STEM. After TESP, the average diameter of the neat magnetite nanoparticles increased from similar to 15 nm to similar to 32 nm.
