“…Forexample,Deepankumar et al [111] were able to immobilize w-TAt ransaminase on chitosan and polystyrene beads after incorporation of as ingle DOPAr esidue by SCS.T he attachment proceeded through affinity adsorption, as DOPA-rich proteins are known to exhibit good affinities to inorganic surfaces as ac onsequence of the coordination of catechol units to metal ions,metal oxides,b orates,and silicates. [128] Af urther development of the method implies the use of ncAAs with bioorthogonal reactive side chains.T his is avery powerful tool in protein engineering [14f, 129] because it enables specific bioconjugation reactions through click chemistry,that is,c opper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne Huisgen cylcoaddition (CuAAC). [130] CuAACh as all the necessary features of an ideal click reaction:i ti ss pecific, rapid, and compatible with an aqueous environment, while offering high product yields without appreciable side products in as imple set-up.…”
