Journal ArticleDOI
Modifying enzyme activity and selectivity by immobilization.
Rafael C. Rodrigues,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rodrigo Torres,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +4 more
TL;DR: In this tutorial review, some of the main reasons that may produce an improvement in enzyme activity, specificity or selectivity, either real or apparent, due to immobilization are listed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutaraldehyde in bio-catalysts design: a useful crosslinker and a versatile tool in enzyme immobilization
Oveimar Barbosa,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rodrigo Torres,Rafael C. Rodrigues,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +5 more
TL;DR: Glutaraldehyde, an apparently old fashioned reactive, remains the most widely used and with broadest application possibilities among the compounds used for the design of biocatalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for the one-step immobilization–purification of enzymes as industrial biocatalysts
Oveimar Barbosa,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rodrigo Torres,Rafael C. Rodrigues,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +5 more
TL;DR: The development of tailor-made heterofunctional supports as a tool to immobilize-stabilize-purify some proteins will be discussed in deep, using low concentration of adsorbent groups and a dense layer of groups able to give an intense multipoint covalent attachment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterofunctional supports in enzyme immobilization: from traditional immobilization protocols to opportunities in tuning enzyme properties.
Oveimar Barbosa,Rodrigo Torres,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rafael C. Rodrigues,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +5 more
TL;DR: This Review will discuss the suitable properties of the groups able to give the covalent attachment, and the groups unable to produce the first enzyme adsorption on the support, as well as the likely pathways for the evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epoxy-Amino Groups: A New Tool for Improved Immobilization of Proteins by the Epoxy Method
Cesar Mateo,Rodrigo Torres,Gloria Fernández-Lorente,Claudia Ortiz,Manuel Fuentes,Aurelio Hidalgo,Fernando López-Gallego,Olga Abian,Jose M. Palomo,Lorena Betancor,Benevides C. C. Pessela,Jose M. Guisan,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +12 more
TL;DR: Stability of the immobilized enzyme has been found to be much higher using the new support than in preparations using the conventional ones in many cases, and immobilization is much more rapid using amino-epoxy supports than employing conventional epoxy supports.
