Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the adsorptivity of an enzyme and to enable the use of a porous carrier having high bulk specific gravity by adsorbing and immobilizing an enzyme to a hydrophobic porous carrier in the presence of an inorganic salt and a water-soluble polymeric substance. CONSTITUTION:An enzyme (e.g., catalase or lipase) is dissolved in a buffer solution and mixed with an inorganic salt (e.g., ammonium sulfate) and a water- soluble polymeric substance (e.g., polyethylene glycol). A porous carrier (e.g., activated carbon) is added to the mixture to effect the adsorption and immobilization of the enzyme to the porous carrier. The adsorption and immobilization of the enzyme can be carried out in high adsorptivity because of the presence of the inorganic salt in combination with the water-soluble polymeric substance. Accordingly, the amount of the porous carrier can be decreased to reduce the size of the apparatus.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for adsorbing and immobilizing an enzyme on a hydrophobic porous carrier with a high adsorption rate. The present invention relates to a method of adsorbing and immobilizing a water-soluble polymer substance on a hydrophobic porous carrier at a high adsorption rate in the presence of both components.

However, due to the characteristics of enzymes as biocatalysts whose main component is protein, the way they are handled when actually used as a catalyst differs greatly from that of chemical catalysts, and enzymes are usually used in water-soluble form. Since enzymes are used in a so-called batch method, they cannot be used repeatedly like general chemical catalysts, and large amounts of enzyme are consumed for each reaction. There are various negative factors in this respect.

Therefore, as a method to make it possible to handle enzymes in the same way as general chemical catalysts, an idea was proposed to react with substrates in the form of so-called insolubilized enzymes, in which enzymes retain their activity. It has come to be established as an innovative technology that offers many advantages in both basic research and industrial use.

The basic methods for insolubilizing enzymes include introducing a hydrophobic functional group into the enzyme protein molecule itself, and binding the enzyme to a water-insoluble carrier. Various types of insolubilized enzymes, that is, adsorption-immobilized enzymes, have been developed in which enzymes are directly adsorbed onto strong carriers and the enzymes are bonded to the carrier by physical adsorption.

A typical example of this is the problem of the adsorption rate of enzymes on adsorption carriers. Conventionally, as a result of repeated studies on adsorption-immobilized enzymes, including the development of suitable adsorption carriers that achieve high adsorption rates, and examination of adsorption conditions to improve adsorption rates, in particular, hydrophobic Regarding the carrier,
For example, methods have been developed in which enzymes are adsorbed and immobilized by adding inorganic salts, but the present inventors have investigated that conventional methods do not necessarily have a high adsorption rate of enzymes on hydrophobic carriers. It was found that the values were not satisfactory, and in order to make these values industrially usable, it was an essential prerequisite to develop a new technology to further improve the adsorption rate.

That is, it has been found that some enzymes have problems such as not being adsorbed onto a hydrophobic carrier unless a high concentration of inorganic salt is added, and unadsorbed enzymes remaining even after adding a high concentration of inorganic salt. A low adsorption rate means that the amount of porous carrier with a large bulk specific gravity required increases in order to adsorb a certain amount of enzyme, which causes problems such as an increase in the size of the device.
