2014 journal article

Cross-linked Polymer Nanofibers for Hyperthermophilic Enzyme Immobilization: Approaches to Improve Enzyme Performance

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES, 6(15), 11899–11906.

By: C. Tang n, C. Saquing n, S. Morton n, B. Glatz n, R. Kelly n  & S. Khan n 

author keywords: enzyme immobilization; nanofibers; electrospinning; biocatalysts; mass transfer
MeSH headings : Catalysis; Cross-Linking Reagents / chemistry; Electrochemistry; Enzymes, Immobilized / chemistry; Escherichia coli / metabolism; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Kinetics; Microscopy, Electron, Scanning; Nanofibers / chemistry; Nanotechnology / methods; Polymers / chemistry; Polyvinyl Alcohol / chemistry; Solvents / chemistry; Temperature; Thermotoga maritima / metabolism
TL;DR: An enzyme immobilization method effective at elevated temperatures (up to 105 °C) and sufficiently robust for hyperthermophilic enzymes is reported and Improvements in the apparent activity can be achieved by incorporating a cryoprotectant during immobilization to prevent enzyme deactivation.

2014 journal article

Nanofibrous membranes for single-step immobilization of hyperthermophilic enzymes

JOURNAL OF MEMBRANE SCIENCE, 472, 251–260.

By: C. Tang n, C. Saquing n, P. Sarin n, R. Kelly n  & S. Khan n 

author keywords: Enzyme immobilization; Nanofibers; Electrospinning; Chemical crosslinking; Hyperthermophilic enzymes
TL;DR: Analysis of this immobilization method indicates that the apparent decrease in specific activity could be attributed to enzyme deactivation arising from the crosslinking reaction, whereas mass transfer limits the apparent activity using alternative two-step immobilization methods.
