Abstract

Comparative studies of the biocatalysts with invertase immobilized on three nanostructured silicate carriers: mesoporous cellular foams and two types of SBA-15 materials using three highly recommended protein bonding methods are reported. Invertase was attached to the surface by: physical adsorption followed by its crosslinking, adsorption on aminated MS followed by its crosslinking, and covalent bonding with aminated MS via GLA spacer. Experiments clearly indicate that activity of the aminated MCF-based biocatalysts is significantly higher than of both SBA-15-based counterparts. The microenvironment of proteins and porous texture of supports appear the most important factors for enzyme activity expression, and in this respect the unique properties of aminated MCFs can hardly be matched.
