Publication number: 20240026333Abstract: A polymer brush composed of statistical copolymers of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers for enzyme immobilization. The heterogeneous polymer brushes stabilized four different lipases against high temperatures. Notably, the statistical copolymers stabilized the four lipases to a greater extent than a homopolymer brush. Additionally, in the case of Rhizomucor miehei lipase, statistical copolymers stabilized the enzyme to a greater extent than homopolymers of either hydrophilic or hydrophobic monomers. The resulting increase in high-temperature stability enabled significant improvements in catalytic rates by operating reactions at elevated temperatures, which is desirable for enzyme catalysis and sensing applications. Additionally, stabilization against elevated temperatures implies stabilization against non-aqueous solvents, which is of critical importance to numerous applications of biocatalysts.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: JAMES S.
