  • Improved Catalytic Performance of Carrier-Free Immobilized Lipase by Advanced Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates Technology
    Improved Catalytic Performance of Carrier-Free Immobilized Lipase by Advanced Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates Technology Xia Jiaojiao Jiangsu University of Science and Technology: Jiangsu University Yan Yan Jiangsu University Bin Zou ( [email protected] ) Jiangsu University https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3816-8776 Adesanya Idowu Onyinye Jiangsu University Research Article Keywords: lipase, carrier-free, immobilization, ionic liquid, stability Posted Date: May 24th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-505612/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/20 Abstract The cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) are one of the technologies that quickly immobilize the enzyme without a carrier. This carrier-free immobilization method has the advantages of simple operation, high reusability and low cost. In this study, ionic liquid with amino group (1-aminopropyl-3- methylimidazole bromideIL) was used as the novel functional surface molecule to modify industrialized lipase (Candida rugosa lipase, CRL). The enzymatic properties of the prepared CRL-FIL-CLEAs were investigated. The activity of CRL-FIL-CLEAs (5.51 U/mg protein) was 1.9 times higher than that of CRL- CLEAs without surface modication (2.86 U/mg protein). After incubation at 60℃ for 50 min, CRL-FIL- CLEAs still maintained 61% of its initial activity, while the value for CRL-CLEAs was only 22%. After repeated use for ve times, compared with the 22% residual activity of CRL-CLEAs, the value of CRL-FIL- CLEAs was 51%. Further kinetic analysis indicated that the Km values for CRL-FIL-CLEAs and CRL-CLEAs were 4.80 mM and 8.06 mM, respectively, which was inferred that the anity to substrate was increased after modication.

  • Separation of the Mixtures of Chiral Compounds by Crystallization
    1 Separation of the Mixtures of Chiral Compounds by Crystallization Emese Pálovics2, Ferenc Faigl1,2 and Elemér Fogassy1* 1Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2Research Group for Organic Chemical Technology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary 1. Introduction Reaction of a racemic acid or base with an optically active base or acid gives a pair of diastereomeric salts. Members of this pair exhibit different physicochemical properties (e.g., solubility, melting point, boiling point, adsorbtion, phase distribution) and can be separated owing to these differences. The most important method for the separation of enantiomers is the crystallization. This is the subject of this chapter. Preparation of enantiopure (ee~100%) compounds is one of the most important aims both for industrial practice and research. Actually, the resolution of racemic compounds (1:1 mixture of molecules having mirror-imagine relationship) still remains the most common method for producing pure enantiomers on a large scale. In these cases the enantiomeric mixtures or a sort of their derivatives are separated directly. This separation is based on the fact that the enantiomeric ratio in the crystallized phase differs from the initial composition. In this way, obtaining pure enantiomers requires one or more recrystallizations. (Figure 1). The results of these crystallizations (recrystallizations) of mixtures of chiral compounds differ from those observed at the achiral compounds. Expectedly, not only the stereoisomer in excess can be crystallized, because the mixture of enantiomers (with mirror image relationship) follows the regularities established from binary melting point phase diagrams, and ternary composition solubility diagrams, respectively, as a function of the starting enantiomer proportion.

This protocol, if without an external chiral source, is categorized into chiral symmetry- breaking. The resolution processes without chiral induction are highly important for the investigation on the origin of homochirality in life, pharmaceutical synthesis, chemical industrial and material science. 10 Besides the study on the models and mechanisms to explain the racemate-to-homochiral approach which may give the probable origin of homochirality in life, the recent developments in this field have been plotted towards the separation of enantiomers for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, chiral chemicals.

Interaction of light and matter If light enters matter, its intensity (amplitude), polarization, velocity, wavelength, etc. may alter. The two basic phenomena of the interaction of light and matter are absorption (or extinction) and a decrease in velocity. 3 16.11.2010 Interaction of light and matter Absorption means that the intensity (amplitude) of light decreases in matter because matter absorbs a part of the light. (Intensity is the square of amplitude.) Interaction of light and matter The decrease in velocity (i.e. the slowdown) of light in matter is caused by the fact that all materials (even materials that do not absorb light at all) have a refraction index, which means that the velocity of light is smaller in them than in vacuum.

  • Preferential Crystallization of a Racemic Compound Via Its Conglomerate Co-Crystals
    Preferential crystallization of a racemic compound via its conglomerate co-crystals Master Thesis Oscar F. Villamil R August 24th 2016 Faculty of 3ME Department: Process & Energy Section: Intensified Reaction & Separation Systems Graduation Committee Ir. W. Li PDeng Dr. ir. H.J.M Kramer Dr. ir. H.W.Nugteren Dr. ir. A. van der Heijden 1 Abstract Preferential crystallization, as a powerful chiral resolution technique, is intrinsically limited to chiral molecules that crystallize as conglomerates. Many studies have been conducted on using chemical reactions to convert the target molecules, which originally form racemic compounds, into conglomerate-forming derivatives salts or by creating solvate, for the application of preferential crystallization. Up to this date conglomerate co-crystals of racemic compounds have never been applied as the intermediate for chiral resolution. In this study, preferential crystallization of the model compound Ibuprofen (IBU), originally a racemic compound, was carried out via its conglomerate co-crystal with 2,4-bipyridine ethylene (BPE) in heptane. Suitable operation conditions were selected based on pseudo- binary phase diagram of the model compound system constructed under different IBU-BPE ratio. A unique measurement method combining polarimeter and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements was developed to identify the enantiopurity and the yield of the final product, which was a mixture of racemic IBU and IBU-BPE co-crystals, a likely result from this complex system. With respect to the results, preferential crystallization of IBU was successfully performed by slowly cooling down a saturated solution of racemic IBU-BPE, initially at T=57.5°C, after seeding it with S-IBU/BPE crystals to T=53°C with a cooling rate of 0.3°C/min.

Department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry, Bayero University, PMB 3011, Kano. *Correspondence author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Chiral chromatographic enantioseparation has been in practice by researchers. There has been a considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their importance in the biochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Often, these compounds are purified rather than being produced by chiral-specific synthesis. We herein present a general discussion that focuses on the chromatographic enantioseparation, which we hope will be useful to chromatographic and pharmaceutical industries.

For this purpose, racemic dimethyl and dibutyl 1-butyryloxy- 1-carboxymethylphosphonates were synthesized and hydrolyzed, using a wide spectrum of commer- cially available lipases from different sources (e.g., fungi and bacteria). The best hydrolysis results of dimethyl 1-butyryloxy-1-carboxymethylphosphonate were obtained with the use of lipases from Candida rugosa, Candida antarctica, and Aspergillus niger, leading to optically active dimethyl 1-carboxy- 1-hydroxymethylphosphonate (58%–98% enantiomeric excess) with high enantiomeric ratio (reaching up to 126). However, in the case of hydrolysis of dibutyl 1-butyryloxy-1-carboxymethylphosphonate, the best results were obtained by lipases from Burkholderia cepacia and Termomyces lanuginosus, leading to optically active dibutyl 1-carboxy-1-hydroxymethylphosphonate (66%–68% enantiomeric excess) with moderate enantiomeric ratio (reaching up to 8.6). The absolute configuration of the products after biotransformation was also determined. In most cases, lipases hydrolyzed (R) enantiomers of both compounds.

They are easily prepared from pH) in an environmentally acceptable solvent (water) using a crude enzyme extracts, and the costs of (often expensive) biocompatible and biodegradable catalyst (an enzyme) that is carriers are circumvented. They generally exhibit improved itself derived from renewable resources. storage and operational stability towards denaturation by Enzymatic reactions proceed with high regio- and stereo- heat, organic solvents, and autoproteolysis and are stable selectivity and generally without the need for functional group towards leaching in aqueous media. Furthermore, they have activation and protection and deprotection steps required in high catalyst productivities (kilograms product per kilogram traditional syntheses. Hence, generally speaking, enzymatic biocatalyst) and are easy to recover and recycle. Yet another processes generate less waste than conventional synthetic advantage derives from the possibility to co-immobilize two routes, are more energy efficient, and provide products in or more enzymes to provide CLEAs that are capable of higher purity. The application of modern protein engineering catalyzing multiple biotransformations, independently or in techniques, such as directed evolution, has enabled the sequence as catalytic cascade processes.
