Optimized immobilization of Transketolase from E. coli in MgAl-Layered Double Hydroxides.
Résumé
Immobilization of TK from Escherichia coli (TKec) on MgAl-NO3 layered double hydroxides (LDH) was carried out by two processes: adsorption and coprecipitation. As a comparison, the adsorption method was realized either at pH 7.5 in buffered solutions (MOPS and Gly-Gly) or in pure water. For the coprecipitation method, the formation of the inorganic LDH support was realized directly in the presence of TKec solubilized in Gly-Gly. The prepared biohybrids, called respectively TKec@LDHads and TKec@LDHcop, were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy in comparison with TKec free reference products, i.e. MgAl-NO3, MgAl-Gly-Gly. The enzymatic activities of the various TKec@LDH biohybrids as well as their stabilities over time were investigated by UV-vis assay. A maximum of activity (12 U/mg of solid) was reached for TKec@MgAl-Gly-Gly biohybrid prepared by coprecipitation. Finally, thin films were prepared through a one-step deposition on a polished support. The enzymatic activity of the resulting TKec@MgAl-Gly-Glycop film was tested over four recycling processes with a reproducible activity of 2.7 U/mg cm2.
