Ligand functionalized substrates, methods of making ligand functionalized substrates, and methods of using functionalized substrates are disclosed.

The present disclosure describes a method of producing allulose from fructose with a novel psicose-3-epimerase enzyme from a Burkholderia species. Once identified and isolated, the psicose-3-epimerase gene was cloned into a novel production strain and evaluated in both benchtop and pilot scale production environments. Evaluation of the in vivo enzyme activity and downstream processing involves immobilization of the enzyme on solid matrix resins, which is discloses herein.

Ligand functionalized substrates, methods of making ligand functionalized substrates, and methods of using functionalized substrates are disclosed.

A hierarchical catalyst composition comprising a continuous or particulate macroporous scaffold in which is incorporated mesoporous aggregates of magnetic nanoparticles, wherein an enzyme is embedded in mesopores of the mesoporous aggregates of magnetic nanoparticles. Methods for synthesizing the hierarchical catalyst composition are also described. Also described are processes that use the recoverable hierarchical catalyst composition for depolymerizing lignin, remediation of water contaminated with aromatic substances, polymerizing monomers by a free-radical mechanism, epoxidation of alkenes, halogenation of phenols, inhibiting growth and function of microorganisms in a solution, and carbon dioxide conversion to methanol. Further described are methods for increasing the space time yield and/or total turnover number of a liquid-phase chemical reaction that includes magnetic particles to facilitate the chemical reaction, the method comprising subjecting the chemical reaction to a plurality of magnetic fields of selected magnetic strength, relative position in the chemical reaction, and relative motion.

Ligand functionalized substrates, methods of making ligand functionalized substrates, and methods of using functionalized substrates are disclosed.

Provided are an immobilized enzyme and an application thereof in continuous production. The immobilized enzyme is a Polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified immobilized enzyme, and includes: an enzyme, which includes Amine Dehydrogenase (AmDH) and/or Formate Dehydrogenase (FDH); and a carrier, which is a cyanuric chloride-activated amino carrier. The problem in the prior art of poor performance of an immobilized enzyme is solved, the catalytic activity and reusability of the immobilized enzyme are improved, and the immobilized enzyme is suitable for the field of enzyme immobilization.

Provided are an enzyme immobilization carrier and a preparation method therefor, an immobilized enzyme and a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. The enzyme immobilization carrier comprises a resin matrix and a divinyl sulfone group modified on the resin matrix by means of a covalent bond. In order to realize the directed immobilization of an enzyme, the divinyl sulfone group is loaded on the resin matrix by means of the covalent bond. In a subsequent enzyme immobilization reaction, by using specific binding of the divinyl sulfone group to a histidine tag, the divinyl sulfone group in the enzyme immobilization carrier is connected to a specific amino acid residue in an enzyme molecule by means of a covalent bond, without reacting with an active group in the enzyme molecule, thereby effectively avoiding excessive influence of the enzyme immobilization carrier on enzyme conformation, and thus retaining a high catalytic activity of the enzyme. Compared with a traditional metal chelating type resin-enzyme molecule binding mode, the present invention shows better immobility.
