According to the results, adsorption capacity and catalytic activity of enzymes depend on the physical nature of surface groups of the solid phase. Changing the stability of enzymes in the system with solid phase is observed even the adsorption bond is less stable （in the case of DEAE- and CM-cellulose in acidic media）. Injection to the medium ethanol, surfactants, sodium chloride and changing the temperature of the incubation medium could prevent the negative effects of the solid phases. When sorsilen is used as solid phase, pepsin and acidic protease from Asp. awamori suffer from high surface inactivation. Various surfactants influence adsorption state of enzymes differently. Non-ionic surfactants （Triton X-100） prevent adsorption and restore catalytic properties of enzymes.展开更多

Surface segregation is believed to be driven by the difference in surface energy to reduce the total free energy of the alloy. However, the atomistic processes during the segregation process remain elusive, especially for gas molecule-induced segregation, where both structural and chemical reordering may occur. Herein, we achieved in-situ atomic-scale visualization of the surface segregation behaviors of a solid solution Cu(Au) alloy under the CO gas by an aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscope. CO-induced Cu(Au) surface ordering structures largely change the surface chemistry of the alloy. Further gas exposure at elevated temperature could facilitate Au atom diffusion through a specific "atomic channel" structure for dealloying and clustering on the surface. The segregated Au nanoparticles show rich phase and morphological dynamics interacting with the alloy surface, where the gas adsorption also plays an important role. These atomic insights provide direct evidence for the surface segregation and dealloying mechanisms of bimetallic alloys, and highlight the role of gas adsorbate in these surface processes.展开更多
