Laccase Incorporated into PEG-PLA Polymer as Active and Stable Biocatalyst for Ionic Liquids Media

Article Preview

Abstract:

Laccase Y20 (EC.1.10.3.2) was coated with poly (ethylene glycol)-block-polylactide (PEG-PLA, MW = 27680) via water-in-oil emulsion, and the activity and stability of the resulting PEG-PLA-laccase complex have been compared to those for the native laccase and lyophilized native laccase in an ionic liquid (IL) [C2mim][PF6] (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. The formation of spherical PEG-PLA-laccase complex of 330-480 nm was demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy. This polymer-laccase complex retained most of its enzymatic catalytic activity and exhibited excellent storage stability in IL, with over 70% of its initial activity retained after 12 days of storage in IL at 40 °C, whereas it was about 20% for native laccase under the identical conditions. This strategy could be employed to fabricate polymer based composites materials with novel biological functions.
