Tóm tắt

In the present study, enzyme urease has been immobilized on amine-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs were synthesized using natural precursor, i.e., clove extract and amine functionalized through 0.004 M l-cysteine. Enzyme (urease) was extracted and purified from the vegetable waste, i.e., seeds of pumpkin to apparent homogeneity (sp. activity 353 U/mg protein). FTIR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the immobilized enzyme. The immobilized enzyme exhibited enhanced activity as compared with the enzyme in the solution, especially, at lower enzyme concentration. Based on the evaluation of activity assay of the immobilized enzyme, it was found that the immobilized enzyme was quite stable for about a month and could successfully be used even after eight cycles having enzyme activity of about 47%. In addition to this central composite design (CCD) with the help of MINITAB® version 15 Software was utilized to optimize the process variables viz., pH and temperature affecting the enzyme activity upon immobilization on AuNPs. The results predicted by the design were found in good agreement (R 2 = 96.38%) with the experimental results indicating the applicability of proposed model. The multiple regression analysis and ANOVA showed the individual and cumulative effect of pH and temperature on enzyme activity indicating that the activity increased with the increase of pH up to 7.5 and temperature 75 °C. The effects of each variables represented by main effect plot, 3D surface plot, isoresponse contour plot and optimized plot were helpful in predicting results by performing a limited set of experiments.
