Resumen
Este estudio presenta un método novedoso y sin reticulantes para la inmovilización de enzimas utilizando la agregación reversible de proteínas. Este enfoque sostenible crea ensamblajes estables y altamente activos de enzimas-matriz para la biocatálisis.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ingeniería de Biomateriales
- Biocatálisis
- Ingeniería de Proteínas
Sus antecedentes:
- La inmovilización convencional de enzimas a menudo utiliza reticulantes químicos, lo que puede reducir la biocompatibilidad y la actividad enzimática.
- Existe la necesidad de métodos robustos, escalables y sostenibles para la funcionalización de materiales con enzimas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar y validar una estrategia de inmovilización de enzimas sin reticulantes utilizando la autoagregación reversible del dominio p40.
- Demostrar la versatilidad y eficiencia de este método en diversas matrices y tipos de enzimas.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizó la autoagregación reversible de cuerpos de inclusión de p40 de Caldibacillus cellulovorans para la funcionalización de biomateriales.
- Se re-agregraron proteínas de fusión p40 solubilizadas sobre fibras de polipropileno, tejidos de celulosa y perlas porosas.
- Se confirmó la unión uniforme y la estabilidad utilizando fuciones de proteínas fluorescentes y espectroscopia infrarroja con transformada de Fourier.
Principales resultados:
- Se lograron altas eficiencias de funcionalización (82-100%) con actividad enzimática retenida (75-100%).
- Se demostró una excelente estabilidad de las enzimas funcionalizadas a temperaturas elevadas (70-80 °C) y durante múltiples ciclos de reacción.
- Se aplicó con éxito el método en un reactor SpinChem® para la formación de D-tagatosa, mostrando el potencial de la biocatálisis industrial.
Conclusiones:
- La agregación reversible mediada por láminas β del dominio p40 ofrece una plataforma robusta, escalable y sostenible para crear ensamblajes estables de enzimas-matriz.
- Este enfoque sin reticulantes proporciona una estrategia generalizable para la biocatálisis industrial y aplicaciones de materiales biofuncionales.

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Prokaryotic cells possess a variety of inclusions that play crucial roles in nutrient storage, metabolic processes, and environmental adaptation. These structures enable bacteria to thrive under fluctuating environmental conditions by storing essential resources and optimizing their metabolic efficiency.Carbon Storage: Poly-β-Hydroxybutyric Acid and Glycogen GranulesBacteria frequently store excess carbon in specialized granules. Poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) granules are lipid...

The concept of a cell started with microscopic observations of dead cork tissue by Robert Hooke in 1665. Hooke coined the term "cell" based on the resemblance of the small subdivisions in the cork to the rooms that monks inhabited, called cells. About ten years later, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek became the first person to observe the living and moving cells under a microscope. In the century that followed, the theory that cells represented the basic unit of life developed.

Archaea, one of the three domains of life, exhibit remarkable diversity and adaptability, thriving in both extreme and moderate environments. Historically, most identified archaea have been classified into two major phyla: Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. However, recent molecular studies have expanded this classification to include three additional phyla: Thaumarchaeota, Nanoarchaeota, and Korarchaeota, each exhibiting unique characteristics and ecological roles.Thaumarchaeota: Mesophiles...

Excavata is a diverse group of protists that includes both chemoorganotrophic and phototrophic species, with some thriving in anaerobic environments. Among the key groups within Excavata are diplomonads and parabasalids, which are flagellated protists that lack mitochondria and chloroplasts. These microorganisms typically inhabit anoxic environments, such as the intestines of animals, where they exist either symbiotically or as parasites, relying on fermentation for energy production. Some...

Alveolates are a group of organisms recognized by the presence of alveoli, which are cytoplasmic sacs located beneath the cell membrane. While their function remains uncertain, alveoli may help regulate water balance by controlling how much water enters and leaves the cell. In dinoflagellates, these structures may serve as armor plates. There are three major types of alveolates: ciliates, which move using cilia; dinoflagellates, which use flagella for movement; and apicomplexans, which are...
