The main driver for the widespread application of enzymes is their small environmental footprint. (wikipedia.org)
Immobilization6
These drawbacks can be generally overcome by enzyme immobilization. (wikipedia.org)
Immobilization also facilitates the efficient recovery and re-use of costly enzymes, in many applications a conditio sine qua non for economic viability, and enables their use in continuous, fixed-bed operation. (wikipedia.org)
Basically, three traditional methods of enzyme immobilization can be distinguished: binding to a support(carrier), entrapment (encapsulation) and cross-linking. (wikipedia.org)
However, the poor structural stability and the high cost of purification and immobilization of free enzyme system limit the industrial application. (biomedcentral.com)
An interesting approach combines the stabilization of enzymes in ionic liquids and an immobilization of the active phase on a solid support, which allows to biocatalyst's recycling and its application in continuous flow and batch processes. (encyclopedia.pub)
Protein immobilization, via covalent bonding or physical adsorption on the support, ensures high stabilities and activities. (encyclopedia.pub)
Lipases1
Other enzymes and lipases from other microorganisms were also tested in the biocatalytic esterification of mono-and disaccharides. (researchgate.net)
Synthesis1
The cofactor regeneration system of leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) has showed great coupling catalytic efficiency in the synthesis of l -tle, however the multi-enzyme complex of GDH and LeuDH has never been constructed successfully. (biomedcentral.com)
Potassium1
Moreover, the strong potassium-releasing capacity of NK851 is not attributed to the acidic pH but is attributed to the extracellular potassium feldspar-binding proteins, such as the elongation factor TU and the enolase that contains potassium feldspar-binding cavities. (bvsalud.org)
Microorganisms1
They are natural catalysts and are ubiquitous, in plants, animals and microorganisms where they catalyze processes that are vital to living organisms. (wikipedia.org)
Biocatalysis2
Nanomaterials are significant carriers for enzymes in heterogeneous biocatalysis. (encyclopedia.pub)
Four different techniques (SILC, SCIL, SILP, and SILLP) of combining ionic liquids and the solid matrix, for enzyme stabilization, were applied in the biocatalysis. (encyclopedia.pub)
Stability3
Notwithstanding all these desirable characteristic features of enzymes, their widespread industrial application is often hampered by their lack of long term operational stability and shelf-storage life, as well as by their cumbersome recovery and re-use. (wikipedia.org)
Improved enzyme performance via enhanced stability, over a broad pH and temperature range as well as tolerance towards organic solvents, coupled with repeated re-use is reflected in higher catalyst productivities (kg product/kg enzyme) which, in turn, determine the enzyme costs per kg product. (wikipedia.org)
Compared with the free enzymes, both the environmental tolerance and thermal stability of GDH-R3-LeuDH had a great improved since the fusion structure. (biomedcentral.com)

Biochemistry1
In biochemistry, a cross-linked enzyme aggregate is an immobilized enzyme prepared via cross-linking of the physical enzyme aggregates with a difunctional cross-linker. (wikipedia.org)
Reactions3
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (i.e. accelerate) chemical reactions. (wikipedia.org)
For example, Degussa AG (now Evonik AG) reported a LeuDH and FDH coupling system to perform repeated batch reactions with an enzyme membrane reactor on a ton scale and the space-time yield of l -tle achieved 638 g/L/day [ 14 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
All these factors allow high conversions, yields, selectivity, and enantioselectivities to be achieved, and make SILC, SCIL, SILP, and SILLP methods attractive for reactions that are catalyzed by the enzymes. (encyclopedia.pub)
Important2
In the production of fine chemicals, flavors and fragrances, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals an important benefit of enzymes is the high degree of chemoselectivity, regioselectivity and enantioselectivity which they exhibit. (wikipedia.org)
It is associated with "essential" water, which is important to the enzymes action. (encyclopedia.pub)
High2
However, physical bonding is generally too weak to keep the enzyme fixed to the carrier under industrial conditions of high reactant and product concentrations and high ionic strength. (wikipedia.org)
The use of hydrophobic ionic liquids enables high specific activities of the enzymes to be obtained, for all types of techniques. (encyclopedia.pub)
Activity2
Enzymes are rather delicate molecules that can easily lose their unique three-dimensional structure, essential for their activity, by denaturation (unfolding). (wikipedia.org)
The fusion structure also accelerated the cofactor regeneration rate and maintained the enzyme activity, so the productivity and yield of l -tle by GDH-R3-LeuDH was all enhanced by twofold. (biomedcentral.com)
Applications1
Today, enzymes are widely applied in many different industries and the number of applications continues to increase. (wikipedia.org)
Active1

Enzyme immobilisation technology is an effective means to improve sugar ester production through the employment of biocatalysts. (researchgate.net)
Advances5
Recent advances in biotechnology, particularly in genetic and protein engineering, and genetics have provided the basis for the efficient development of enzymes with improved properties for established applications and novel, tailor-made enzymes for completely new applications where enzymes were not previously used. (wikipedia.org)
Advances in DNA technology subsequently allowed proteins of interest to be harvested in much greater numbers from bacteria or yeast, as the relevant DNA sequence could now be identified and inserted into a plasmid and highly expressed. (news-medical.net)
Other advances in the field of biotechnology such as the development of polymerase chain reaction made it possible to generate large quantities of DNA, and by purposefully introducing errors to the copying process protein mutants could be generated and isolated. (news-medical.net)

Cycles2
The enzyme is able to retain its activity over 20 cycles of use, which though impressive, still forces manufacturers to utilize lower-cost stationary phases. (news-medical.net)
The residual activity of the immobilized enzyme retained up 10.97% after fifth reuse cycles. (ijournalse.org)

. As researchers began to unravel the mechanisms behind the observed activity of enzymes a wider range of uses were found, one prominent example being the discovery of penicillin acylase, an enzyme found in some bacteria, yeast, and fungi that facilitates the production of several antibiotic precursors. (news-medical.net)
Methods1
The much wider availability of enzymes produced in this way further encouraged the adoption of biotechnical synthesis methods throughout the 1970s and 80s, with, for example, recombinant chymosin replacing that sourced from calf stomachs in the production of cheese. (news-medical.net)
