Activity and Thermal Stability Improvements of Glucose Oxidase upon Adsorption on Core-Shell PMMA-BSA Nanoparticles
The interaction and adsorption of enzyme, glucose oxidase (GOx), on poly(methyl methacrylate)-bovine serum albumin (PMMA-BSA) particles were studied by using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and laser light scattering (LLS). The enzyme was irreversibly immobilized on the PMMA-BSA particle surface. The amount of enzyme immobilized on PMMA-BSA particles and the enzymatic activity were determined by UV/vis measurements. The influences of pH and ionic strength on the adsorption indicate that the electrostatic interaction plays a major role on the immobilization. The adsorbed GOx can retain at least 80% of the free enzyme activity. Thermal stability studies reveal that the adsorbed GOx only losses 28% of its activity in comparison with a 64% activity loss of free GOx when it is incubated at 50 degrees C for 35 h.
