And the nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, FT-IR and hysteresis loop. The results show that the nanoparticles are spherical and almost superparamagnetic. The laccase was immobilized on nanoparticles by adsorption and subsequently by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The immobilization conditions and charac-terizations of the immobilized laccase were investigated. The optimal immobilization conditions were as follows: 10 mL of phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.0) containing 50 mg of magnetic chitosan nanoparticles, 1.0 mg·mL-1 of laccase and 1% (v/v) glutaraldehyde, immobilization temperature of 4 ℃ and immobilization time of 4 h. The immobilized laccase exhibited an appreciable catalytic capability (480 units·g-1 support) and had good storage stability and operation stability. The Km of immobilized and free laccase for ABTS were 140.6 and 31.1 μM in phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 3.0) at 37 ℃, respectively. The immobilized laccase is a good candidate for the research and development of biosensors based on laccase catalysis.展开更多

The laccase was immobilized on copper tetraaminophthalocyanine (CuTAPc)-Fe3O4 magnetic nano-composite by glutaraldehyde crosslinking method via a two-step reaction. For 1 g nano-composite, the optimum pH value, the quantity, the concentration and reaction time of glutaraldehyde are 7.0, 10 mL, 10% and 4 h, respectively. In the second step the optimum pH value, reaction temperature and reaction time of laccase are 5.0, 0 ℃ and 2 h, respectively. The average diameter of the immobilized laccase is 78 nm, the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the immobilize laccase is 23.45 A·m2/kg and the surface area of the immobilized laccase is 115.03 m2/g. When 2.0 mg/mL laccase solution is used under optimum conditions and 2, 2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoling-6-sulphonic acid) is used as substrate, the activity of immobilized laccase reaches 1 430 U/g (nano-composite) and the Michealis-Menten constant(Km) of the immobilized laccase is 2.38×10?5 mol/L.展开更多

In particular, they are universally considered of great importance in determining soil extracellular enzyme activity and stability via association with essential soil enzymes. The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction of coal HA with an extracellular multicopper oxidase laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) that catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of reducing substances in the environment. Using size-exclusion chromatography analysis and monitoring laccase activity, the formation of a stable and an enzymatically active complex between HA and laccase was shown. Basing the data obtained by isoelectric focusing of HA-laccase complex, non-covalent character of laccase association with HA was considered and binding of laccase to HA by weak dispersive forces such as van der Waals, hydrophobic, π-π, CH-π and others was hypothesized.展开更多

The immobilization conditions and characterization of the immobilized enzyme were investigated. The immobilization of laccase was successfully realized when 3.0 mL of 1.25 mg/mL of laccase at a pH value of 4.0 reacted with 0.15 g of ceramic-chitosan composite support(CCCS) at 4 ℃ for 24 h. The immobilized enzyme exhibited a maximum activity at pH 3.0. The optimal temperatures for immobilized enzyme were 25 ℃ and 50 ℃. The K_m value of immobilized laccase for ABTS was 66.64 μmol/L at a pH value of 3.0 at 25 ℃. Compared with free laccase, the thermal, operating and storage stability of immobilized laccase was improved after the immobilization.展开更多

The results showed that the mixed activation could be observed when Pd2+ ion was at low concentrations. The competitive and non-competitive activation constants were 9 × 10 and 2 × 10-6 mol/L, respectively. With the increase of Pd2+ ion concentration, the activation was gradually converted into mixed inhibition, and the competitive and non-competitive inhibition constants were 6 × 10-6 and 32 × 10-6 mol/L, respectively.展开更多
