Lectin-Mediated Coimmobilization of Cascade Glycoenzymes

Methods Mol Biol. 2022:2487:189-195. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2269-8_12.

Abstract

As the vast majority of enzymes are glycosylated, lectins can serve as molecular glues to agglutinate multiple glycoenzymes for preparing multienzyme catalysts in an efficient and biocompatible way. Taking glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase as a model cascade, we describe in this protocol the coimmobilization of cascade glycoenzymes through lectin-mediated protein agglutination with and without magnetic nanoparticles as carriers.

Keywords: ConA-coated magnetic nanoparticles; Concanavalin A; Glycoenzyme; Lectin; Multienzyme catalyst.
