Abstract

Functionalized ionic liquids containing ethyoxyl groups were synthesized and immobilized on magnetic silica nanoparticles (MSNP) prepared by two steps, i.e., Fe3O4 synthesis and silica shell growth on the surface. This magnetic nanoparticle supported ionic liquid (MNP-IL) were applied in the immobilization of penicillin G acylase (PGA). The MSNPs and MNP-ILs were characterized by the means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that the average size of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and MSNPs were ∼10 and ∼90 nm, respectively. The saturation magnetizations of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and MNP-ILs were 63.7 and 26.9 A·m−2·kg−1, respectively. The MNP-IL was successfully applied in the immobilization of PGA. The maximum amount of loaded enzyme was about 209 mg·g−1 (based on carrier), and the highest enzyme activity of immobilize PGA (based on ImPGA) was 261 U·g−1. Both the amount of loaded enzyme and the activity of ImPGA are at the same level of or higher than that in previous reports. After 10 consecutive operations, ImPGA still maintained 62% of its initial activity, indicating the good recovery property of ImPGA activity. The ionic liquid modified magnetic particles integrate the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 and the structure-tunable properties of ionic liquids, and have extensive potential uses in protein immobilization and magnetic bioseparation. This work may open up a novel strategy to immobilize proteins by ionic liquids.

      While enzymatic catalysis has many important advantages compared with chemical catalysis, such as high specificity, high selectivity, and mild operational conditions, the use of free enzymes for industrial applications still features several inherent limitations including low operational stability and the difficulties of recovery and recycling. Immobilization of enzymes on solid carriers can conquer these limitations by providing improved enzyme stability and high reusability [1–17]. As a result, the exploration and development of new and efficient solid supports are highly desirable to create immobilized enzymes with enhanced stability and high reusability while retaining its original activity and selectivity.

      The saturation magnetization values of MNPs-APTES and MNPs-APTES-Cu were 56.3 and 23.3 emu/g, respectively, which were less than that of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, due to the existence of different shells. Furthermore, there was no hysteresis in the magnetization curve and no remnant magnetization was observed for all of the samples, which implied their superparamagnetism behaviour (Zhou et al., 2012). Fig. 2A shows a fairly low loading of copper on nanoparticles in the absence of buffer (with deionized water at pH = 8) compared with high copper loading in the presence of sodium phosphate buffer at pH = 8.
