Journal ArticleDOI
Recent trends in biocatalysis engineering
TL;DR: In the present work, recent advances in biocatalysis are reviewed and powerful tools to improve biotransformation and to synthesize new products are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation of crosslinked penicillin G acylase aggregates in lentikats: evaluation of a novel biocatalyst in organic media.
Lorena Wilson,Andrés Illanes,Benevides C. Pessela,Olga Abian,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente,Jose M. Guisan +5 more
TL;DR: This very simple encapsulation of penicillin G acylase into a very rigid polymeric matrix based on polyvinyl alcohol (LentiKats) provides an efficient technique for solving the mechanical stability problem associated with CLEA, but also greatly improves the behavior of CLEA in organic media.
Journal ArticleDOI
CLEAs of lipases and poly-ionic polymers: A simple way of preparing stable biocatalysts with improved properties
Lorena Wilson,Gloria Fernández-Lorente,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente,Andrés Illanes,Jose M. Guisan,Jose M. Palomo +5 more
TL;DR: The co-precipitation of the lipases with poly-ethyleneimine (PEI) or PEI-sulfate dextran (DS) mixtures permitted to get fully physically stable CLEAs, with higher stability in the presence of organic solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-aggregation of penicillin g acylase and polyionic polymers: an easy methodology to prepare enzyme biocatalysts stable in organic media.
Lorena Wilson,Andrés Illanes,Olga Abian,Benevides C. Pessela,Roberto Fernández-Lafuente,Jose M. Guisan +5 more
TL;DR: The development and optimization of a protocol to produce a novel type of biocatalyst that combines the good properties of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) and hydrophilic microenvironments using penicillin acylase as a model shows that CLEA-GDPs have a highly increased stability in organic media.
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.
