Sumario:Immobilization of enzymes is a promising approach for the cost-effective application of enzymes. Among others, noncovalent but unleachable approaches for immobilization are one of the most favorable and crucial approaches. Herein, silica nanoparticles are modified by (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) to generate amino-functionalized silica nanoparticles. Then, the amine functionalities are converted to bifunctional amino acid via post-modification that has zwitterionic properties. This nanostructure with the new functional theme is employed to immobilize Yarrowia lipolytica lipase at room temperature with no further post-modification or cross-linking. This immobilization method is further compared with the metal chelate-based immobilization approach on the same support. The biocatalytic activity of the immobilized lipase is examined under various conditions. The encapsulation of lipase through amino acid-functionalized silica nanoparticles exhibited enhanced stability for the immobilized lipase at higher temperatures and unneutral pHs.
