Compartmentalized Immobilization of Multi-enzyme Systems

Methods Mol Biol. 2022:2487:151-162. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2269-8_9.

Abstract

The methods of compartmentalized immobilization in multi-enzyme systems containing inorganic complexes and organic scaffolds (i.e. nucleic acid (RNA and DNA), protein and lipid) have been thoroughly investigated. Compartmentalization mostly focuses on dividing individual enzyme(s) into specific location or orientation of the enzymes cooperating in cascade reaction. Organic scaffolds are preferred because of their capability for simultaneous synthesis in biological systems. Besides, the most required methods of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (GOD) enzymes including enzyme activity measurement, enzyme immobilization, removal, and re-hybridization, and enzyme attaching have been provided because they have been extensively applied in multi-enzyme systems. Organic scaffolds have a wide range and properties. Therefore, two methods including dockerin-cohesin linker and nucleotides interaction have been demonstrated for immobilization of enzyme on protein and DNA scaffold, respectively.
