Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating enzyme immobilization and protein engineering: An alternative path for the development of novel and improved industrial biocatalysts.
TL;DR: It is believed that through the integration of both enzyme engineering and enzyme immobilization strategies, novel biocatalysts can be obtained, not only as the sum of independently improved intrinsic and operational properties of enzymes, but ultimately tailored specifically for increased performance as immobilized biocAtalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterofunctional hydrophilic-hydrophobic porous silica as support for multipoint covalent immobilization of lipases: application to lactulose palmitate synthesis.
TL;DR: Screening of different chemical surfaces on porous silica used as supports for lipase immobilization allowed obtaining active and stable biocatalyst to be employed in the novel synthesis of lactulose palmitate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of thermal stability of β-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans by multipoint covalent immobilization in hierarchical macro-mesoporous silica
TL;DR: In this article, β-Galactosidase from Bacillus circulans was immobilized on hierarchical macro-mesoporous silica by multipoint covalent attachment by formation of Schiff bases between enzyme and support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme-assisted extraction of proteins from the seaweeds Macrocystis pyrifera and Chondracanthus chamissoi: characterization of the extracts and their bioactive potential
TL;DR: Both protein extracts showed antioxidant activity and M. pyrifera protein extract showed a potential antihypertensive activity, which establishes a firm basis for further studies on seaweed protein extracts as potential functional ingredients, or towards the production of bioactive peptides through a straightforward, and environmentally sustainable methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of chitosan heterofunctionality for enzyme immobilization: β-galactosidase immobilization for galacto-oligosaccharide synthesis.
TL;DR: Chitosan partially functionalized with aldehyde groups was used for enzyme immobilization, favoring first the enzyme adsorption through its amino groups and then the covalent bonding of the adsorbed catalyst through the alde Hyde groups of the support.
