Abstract

:
Nanoparticles have the advantage of a superior surface area to volume ratio, and thus such materials are useful for enzyme immobilization. A silver nanoparticle coated cotton fabric (AgNp-CF) is used to immobilize camel liver catalase in the present work. The effect of loading levels of AgNp inside cotton fabrics on the immobilization of catalase was investigated. The results revealed that a 6 mL loading level of AgNp precursor (silver nitrate, 2 mM) at pH 8 showed the maximum immobilization efficiency (76%). The morphological properties of the cotton fabric (CF), AgNp-CF and AgNp-CF-catalase were characterized by SEM. The reusability of the immobilized enzyme was tested over ten reuses to show a 67% retained function of its initial activity. Compared with the soluble enzyme’s working pH (6.5), a rather broader working pH (6.5–7.0) was observed for the immobilized catalase. Additionally, the optimum working temperature increased from 30 for the soluble enzyme to 40 °C for the immobilized one, indicating thermal stability. The free and immobilized catalase enzyme’s Km values were 22.5 and 25 mM H2O2, respectively, reflecting the enzyme’s effective properties. The inhibitory effect of metal ions on the enzyme activity was higher toward soluble catalase than the immobilized catalase. This work has developed a method for immobilizing catalase to be useful for several applications.

1. Introduction

Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 [1,2,3]. Catalase is widely produced by various microbes, plants, and animals, and as such, it protects the living cells from the toxicity of H2O2 [4]. Catalase has found different applications in food science, food production and medical fields [5,6,7]. It is also used to decompose residual H2O2 after the bleaching process of textile fabrics [8,9]. The large scale and/or industrial application of enzymes necessitate their immobilization onto a solid support. The immobilized enzyme has several advantages over the free one, such as easier recovery and purification, enhanced stability, protection and reduced contamination [10]. Enzymes as fragile proteins have been immobilized by several techniques including, adsorption [11,12], covalent binding [13], entrapment [14], encapsulation [15,16], and electrochemical polymerization [17,18]. Many supports have been used such as chitosan [19,20], nanodiamond [21], polyethylene terephthalate [22], polyketone [23], wool [24], PPyAgNp/Fe3O4-nanocomposite [25] and starch [26]. Specifically, catalase immobilization onto different solid supports such as chitosan, collagen, fibers, inorganic oxides [27,28,29] and others, have been pursued [30,31,32].
A recent report on catalase immobilization on silk fibroins has been published [33]. The solid support for enzyme immobilization should fulfil some essential characteristics such as water insolubility with a sufficient surface area and less negative impact on the enzyme activity [34]. These characteristics are nicely met with AgNp-CF as solid support.It was hypothesized that the in situ formed AgNp inside cotton fabrics would furnish a suitable solid support for the successful immobilization of catalase enzyme via Ag-catalase bindings. Therefore, camel liver catalase was immobilized on AgNp-CF in this study.

2. Results and Discussion

It was envisioned that silver-nano-coated cotton fabric made by in situ reduction of silver nitrate [35,36] would furnish a good solid support amenable for enzyme immobilization by virtue of its content of AgNp. Accordingly, different loading levels of AgNp were in situ formed using different volumes (mL) of the precursor (silver nitrate, 2.5 mM). Different pHs (5, 7, 8) were also studied for the immobilization of catalase. The results (Table 1) revealed that a 6 mL loading level of AgNp at pH 8 showed the maximum immobilization efficiency (76%). The lowest efficiency of immobilization of catalase was observed at 1 and 9 mL loading levels of AgNp and at pH 5. Such a result of low immobilization efficiency at a high loading level of AgNp could be refer to the increased binding sites of the enzyme with AgNp-CF, which led to a change in the enzyme stereochemical configuration. At a low concentration of AgNp, the rate of immobilization of catalase is attributed to the low content of AgNp, which binds to the enzyme. On the other hand, the concentration effect of enzyme on its rate of immobilization was studied at the optimum conditions (pH 8.0 with 6 mL AgNp precursor) of the immobilization process. Figure 1 shows that the enzyme activity increased with increasing its concentration till 20 units/g AgNp-CF (60% relative activity), which remained stable up to 25 units/g AgNp-CF. The low residual activity percentage at a lower enzyme concentration could be due to the concentration effect.
The morphology of the CF, AgNp-CF and AgNP-CF-catalase samples are shown in Figure 2. As evidence of the loading success of AgNp onto cotton fabric and its enzyme immobilized form, the morphological changes were assessed using SEM. Figure 2 shows the morphological changes for samples A (blank), B (6 mL sample AgNp coated fabric), and C (catalase immobilized onto 6 mL sample AgNp coated fabric). It is clearly observed that sample A appeared as a smooth surface and became dotted with AgNp after being coated with a 6 mL loading level. Upon enzyme immobilization, the dots became covered with the enzyme that appeared as small aggregates.
The advantage of enzyme immobilization in terms of its reusability was assessed. The support was thoroughly washed with water after each reuse. In Figure 3, over ten reuses and the results indicated a 67% retention of its initial activity. Similar results of reusability of immobilized catalases were determine [37,38]. The reduction of the activity after each reuse is due to the assay conditions [39,40].
The solid supports for enzyme immobilization could have a large multi-crosslinkings, which maintained the structure of enzyme from any change of pH and temperature [41,42]. This immobilization effect can also be manifested by studying the influne of pH on its activity compared with its free form. Thus, the assessment was made pH’s 4.0–8.5 (Figure 4). The pH was changed from 6.5 for free form to broad pH at 6.5–7.0 for immobilized form. The free catalase and immobilized on bentonite-cysteine (Bent-Cys) microcomposite had optimum pH at 7.0 [43] and increased to pH 7.5 using chitosan/ZnO/Fe2O3nanocomposite [27].
The influence of temperature on catalase activity is appeared in Figure 5. The optimum working temperature increased from 30 for free enzyme to 40 °C for the immobilized one. The immobilized catalase on terpolymer (acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, and vinyl porphyrin) was 35 °C, and 25 °C for free catalase [43,44]. The thermal stability study was shown in Figure 6. The soluble form and the immobilized form were steady up to 30 and 40 °C, respectively. In contrast, the same thermal stability of the free catalase or reduced graphene oxide–Fe3O4/catalase was detected [45]. The high thermal stability of the immobilized enzyme referred to multipoints of enzyme on the bear [46]. The thermal steady of the enzymes is required for industrial applications [47].
The free and immobilized catalase enzymes’ Km values (Figure 7) were 22.5 and 25 mM H2O2, respectively, reflecting the enzymes’ effective properties. The values of Vmax of soluble catalase and immobilized catalase were 1.4 and 0.69 units/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ratio Vmax/Km of the soluble catalase and the immobilized one were 0.062 and 0.027, respectively, where free catalase had more affinity toward substrate. This affinity difference is a kind of regulation for the immobilized enzyme activity due to the uneasy accessibility of its active sites by the substrate. In other words, immobilization of the enzyme could impose some structural orientation, which lowers its affinity toward the substrate. A similar study was reported by Alptekin et al. [48]. On the other hand, the Km of the catalase was significantly smaller upon immobilization on magnetic polymeric nanospheres [49].
The inhibitory effect of metal cations on the enzyme activity is shown in Table 2. Generally, the inhibitory effect was higher toward soluble catalase than the immobilized one. For example, Cu2+ enhanced the activity of the immobilized catalase without affecting the soluble one. Co2+, however, decreased the activity of soluble catalase without affecting the immobilized one. The other metal ions tested (Cd2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Hg2+) had a more inhibitory effect toward the soluble catalase compared to the immobilized catalase. In the contrast, Cu caused an inhibitory effect on the catalase immobilized onto chitosan [37].

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. Camel Liver Catalase

Camel liver catalase was previously purified and characterized [50].

3.2. Catalase Assay

The activity of catalase was detected based on procedure of Bergmeyer [51]. The one ml assay includes 25 mM H2O2 and suitable amount enzyme, which adjusted at pH 7 by used 75 mM sodium phosphate buffer. The decrease in absorbance 0.1 at 240 nm during 1 min is considered one unit.

3.3. Preparation of Silver Nanoparticles-Cotton Fabric

Mill-scoured and bleached cotton fabric (130 g/m2) was obtained from Misr El-Mehala Co. (El-Mehala, Egypt). The in situ formed AgNp were made following our previously reported method [35,36]. Typically, four loading levels of silver nanoparticles on the cotton fabric were made using four volumes (1, 3, 6, 9 mL) of silver nitrate 2.5 mM per 0.3 g fabric. Four equal pieces of wetted cotton fabric (0.3 g) were introduced in a loading bath containing a certain amount of silver nitrate, as mentioned above. Then cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) (1 mL, 0.5 mM) and glucose (5 mL, 2.5 mM) were added, and the mixture was shaken, then sodium hydroxide (5 mL, 25 mM) and a certain amount of water were added to complete 20 mL of the batch, and the mixture was shaken for a further 20 min at 50 °C. The loading bath was drained, and the coated samples were thoroughly rinsed with water and air-dried.

3.4. Procedure of Immobilization

The immobilization procedure was done by immersion of camel liver catalase with AgNp-CF at different pH’s for 12 h. The liquid solution was decanted and the support was dried at room temperature. The immobilization efficiency % was detected from this formula:
Immobilization efficiency% = units of immobilized enzyme/units of initial enzyme × 100

3.5. Morphology Characterization

The SEM of AgNp-CF-catalase was investigated by electron microscope (Quanta FEG 450, FEI, Amsterdam, The Netherland).

3.6. The Reuse of AgNp-CF-Catalase

The reusability of AgNp-CF-catalase was evaulated by reuse the assay several times. The first detection of catalase was considered as 100%. The activity of each reuse was considered as remaining catalase.

3.7. Enzyme Characterization

The Kinetic studies of enzyme including Km and Vmax were detected using Lineweaver-Burk plot. The effect of temperature (30–80 °C) and pH (4–9) on enzyme activity was determined.

3.8. Effect of Metal Ions

The effect of metal cations on enzyme activity was determined by incubation of enzyme with metal cations for 15 min before adding H2O2. The assay without metal cations was considered 100% activity.

4. Conclusions

In this study the presence of AgNp inside cotton fabrics would facilitate the immobilization of a catalase enzyme via Ag-catalase bindings. The results showed that the immobilized catalase by AgNp-cotton fabric improved its resistance toward pH, heat and metal ions. Therefore, the immobilized catalase could be used for several applications.
