Immobilization of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase onto electrospun polyacrylonitrile fibers through physical adsorption and application to transesterification in nonaqueous solvent

Abstract: The lipase of Pseudomonas cepacia was immobilized onto electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers and used for the conversion of (S)-glycidol with vinyl n-butyrate to glycidyl n-butyrate in isooctane. The rate of reaction with the adsorbed lipase was 23-fold higher than the initial material. After 10 recyclings, the initial reaction rate was 80% of the original rate. This system of enzyme immobilization is therefore suitable for carrying out transesterification reactions in nonaqueous solvents.

“…Cross-linking of enzymes to electrospun nanofibers has shown greater residual activity due to increased surface area and porosity. Use of such nanodiametric supports have brought a turning point in the field of biocatalyst immobilization (Wu et al 2005; Kim et al 2006; Ren et al 2006; Li et al 2007; Huang et al 2008; Sakai et al 2010). Covalent binding of alcohol dehydrogenase on attapulgite nanofibers (hydrated magnesium silicate) has been opted owing to its thermal endurance and variable nano sizes (Zhao et al 2010).…”

“…A wide range of bioactive compounds can be decorated on the surface of electrospun fibers by physical adsorption. Sakai et al (2010) immobilized Pseudomonas cepacia lipase onto the electrospun polyacrylonitrile fibers by physical adsorption. The immobilized lipase showed more than 20-fold higher activity than the free lipase, and the initial reaction rate after 10 recycles was 80% of that in the first run, indicating that the recovery and reuse of the enzyme were achieved by the lipaseimmobilizing fibers.…”

“…Sudwilai prepared PPy‐coated electrospun poly(lactic acid) nanofibers with low surface conductivity. These studies demonstrated that a conductive polymer coating can be used in place of a filler to enhance the conductivity . However, two problems remain for the electric conductivity improvement of electrospun fibers: (1) small conductive particles tend to aggregate, especially at the lap joints of fibers and (2) the Van der Waals forces that bind conductive fillers and electrospun fibers are weak, which has a negative effect with the long‐term usage.…”
