Abstract |
: |
This work is aimed to immobilize partially purified horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on wool activated by multifunctional reactive center, namely cyanuric chloride. The effect of cyanuric chloride concentration, pH and enzyme concentration on immobilization of HRP was studied. FT-IR and SEM analyses were detected for wool, activated wool and immobilized wool-HRP. The wool-HRP, prepared at 2% (w/v) cyanuric chloride and pH 5.0, retained 50% of initial activity after seven reuses. The wool-HRP showed broad optimum pH at 7.0 and 8.0, which was higher than that of the soluble HRP (pH 6.0). The soluble HRP had an optimum temperature of 30 C, which was shifted to 40 C for immobilized enzyme. The soluble and wool-HRP were stable up to 30 and 40 degrees C after incubation for 1 h, respectively. The apparent kinetic constant values (K(m)s) of wool-HRP were 10 mM for guiacol and 2.5 mM for H2O2, which were higher than that of soluble HRP. The wool-HRP was remarkably more stable against proteolysis mediated by trypsin. The wool-HRP exhibited more resistance to heavy metal induced inhibition. The wool-HRP was more stable to the denaturation induced by urea, Triton X-100, isopropanol, butanol and dioxan. The wool-HRP was found to be the most stable under storage. In conclusion, the wool-HRP could be more suitable for several industrial and environmental purposes. |
