Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Dendronized cellulose offers unique properties for surface functionalization.
  • Enzyme immobilization on solid supports is crucial for biocatalysis and biosensing.
  • Developing robust and reproducible biofunctionalized surfaces remains a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prepare and characterize biofunctionalized cellulose surfaces for enzyme immobilization.
  • To compare two distinct methods for creating these surfaces: blending and heterogeneous functionalization.
  • To evaluate the performance of immobilized glucose oxidase in terms of activity, efficiency, stability, and reproducibility.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of dendronized cellulose derivatives via click chemistry (copper-catalyzed Huisgen reaction).
  • Fabrication of biofunctionalized surfaces through blending with cellulose acetate or heterogeneous functionalization of cellulose films.
  • Covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase using glutardialdehyde activation.
  • Characterization of immobilized enzyme quality including specific activity, coupling efficiency, storage stability, and reproducibility.

Main Results:

  • Both blending and heterogeneous functionalization methods yielded biofunctionalized cellulose surfaces.
  • The heterogeneous functionalization of deoxy-azido cellulose film resulted in higher enzyme binding capacity compared to the blended matrix.
  • Despite higher enzyme binding, the heterogeneous method exhibited lower coupling efficiency.
  • Both preparation approaches demonstrated excellent reproducibility and good storage stability for the immobilized enzyme.

Conclusions:

  • Biofunctionalized surfaces based on dendronized cellulose can be effectively prepared using different strategies.
  • The choice of method impacts enzyme binding capacity and coupling efficiency, requiring optimization for specific applications.
  • The developed surfaces offer promising characteristics for enzyme immobilization, including high reproducibility and stability.
