Magnetic MOF microreactors for recyclable size-selective biocatalysis.

ABSTRACT: In this contribution we report a synthetic strategy for the encapsulation of functional biomolecules within MOF-based microcapsules. We employ an agarose hydrogel droplet Pickering-stabilised by UiO-66 and magnetite nanoparticles as a template around which to deposit a hierarchically structured ZIF-8 shell. The resulting microcapsules are robust, highly microporous and readily attracted to a magnet, where the hydrogel core provides a facile means to encapsulate enzymes for recyclable size-selective biocatalysis.

An efficient recyclable magnetic material for the selective removal of organic pollutants.

Project description:Wastewater cleaning strategies based on the adsorption of materials are being increasingly considered, but the wide variety of organic pollutants at low concentrations still makes their removal a challenge. The hybrid material proposed here consists of a zwitterionic polyethylenimine polymer coating a magnetic core. Polyethylenimine is phosphonated at different percentages by a one-step process and used to coat maghemite nanoparticles. It selectively extracts high amounts of cationic and anionic contaminants over a wide range of pH values, depending on the adjustable number of phosphonate groups introduced on the polymer. After recovering the nanoparticles with a magnet, pollutants are quantitatively released by repeated washing with low amounts of pH-adjusted water. The material can be reused many times without noticeable loss of efficiency and is designed to resist high temperatures, oxidation and harsh conditions.

Size-Tunable Metal-Organic Framework-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles for Enzyme Encapsulation and Large-Substrate Biocatalysis.

Project description:Immobilizing enzymes on nanoparticles (NPs) enhances the cost-efficiency of biocatalysis; however, when the substrates are large, it becomes difficult to separate the enzyme@NP from the products while avoiding leaching or damage of enzymes in the reaction medium. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-coated magnetic NPs (MNPs) offer efficient magnetic separation and enhanced enzyme protection; however, the involved enzymes/substrates have to be smaller than the MOF apertures. A potential solution to these challenges is coprecipitating metal/ligand with enzymes on the MNP surface, which can partially bury (protect) the enzyme below the composite surface while exposing the rest of the enzyme to the reaction medium for catalysis of larger substrates. Here, to prove this concept, we show that using Ca2+ and terephthalic acid (BDC), large-substrate enzymes can be encapsulated in CaBDC-MOF layers coated on MNPs via an enzyme-friendly, aqueous-phase one-pot synthesis. Interestingly, we found that using MNPs as the nuclei of crystallization, the composite size can be tuned so that nanoscale composites were formed under low Ca2+/BDC concentrations, while microscale composites were formed under high Ca2+/BDC concentrations. While the microscale composites showed significantly enhanced reusability against a non-structured large substrate, the nanoscale composites displayed enhanced catalytic efficiency against a rigid, crystalline-like large substrate, starch, likely due to the improved diffusivity of the nanoscale composites. To our best knowledge, this is the first report on aqueous-phase one-pot synthesis of size-tunable enzyme@MOF/MNP composites for large-substrate biocatalysis. Our platform can be applied to immobilize other large-substrate enzymes with enhanced reusability and tunable sizes.

Facile Synthesis of Enzyme-Embedded Metal-Organic Frameworks for Size-Selective Biocatalysis in Organic Solvent.

Project description:In situ immobilization of enzyme into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is performed through a one-step and facile method. Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) is directly embedded in zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 by simply mixing an aqueous solution of 2-methylimidazole and zinc nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)2?6H2O] containing CalB at room temperature. Due to the intrinsic micropores of ZIF-8, the obtained CalB@ZIF composite is successfully applied in size-selective transesterification reaction in organic solvent. CalB@ZIF not only shows much higher catalytic activity but also exhibits higher thermal stability than free CalB. Besides, the robust ZIF-8 shell also offers the hybrid composites excellent reusability.

Engineering proteinaceous colloidosomes as enzyme carriers for efficient and recyclable Pickering interfacial biocatalysis.

Project description:Despite Pickering interfacial biocatalysis being a popular topic in biphasic biocatalysis, the development of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion systems stabilized by single particles remains a challenge. For the first time, hydrophobized proteinaceous colloidosomes with magnetic-responsiveness are developed to function as both an enzyme carrier and emulsifier, achieving a breakthrough in protein-based w/o Pickering bioconversion. Enzyme-loaded protein colloidosomes are synthesized by a facile and mild method via emulsion templating. This system exhibits superior catalytic activity to other systems at the oil-water interface. Besides, feasible enzyme recovery and reusability ensure that this novel system can be employed as an efficient and eco-friendly recyclable platform.

One-step selective affinity purification and immobilization of His-tagged enzyme by recyclable magnetic nanoparticles.

Project description:The NiFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles (NF-MNPs) were prepared for one-step selective affinity purification and immobilization of His-tagged recombinant glucose dehydrogenase (GluDH). The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by a Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer and microscopy. The immobilization and purification of His-tagged GluDH on NF-MNPs were investigated. The optimal immobilization conditions were obtained that mixed cell lysis and carriers in a ratio of 0.13 in pH 8.0 Tris-HCl buffer at 30℃ and incubated for 2 h. The highest activity recovery and protein bindings were 71.39% and 38.50 μg mg-1 support, respectively. The immobilized GluDH exhibited high thermostability, pH-stability and it can retain more than 65% of the initial enzyme after 10 cycles for the conversion of glucose to gluconolactone. Comparing with a commercial Ni-NTA resin, the NF-MNPs displayed a higher specific affinity with His-tagged recombinant GluDH.

Recyclable magnetic nanoparticles grafted with antimicrobial metallopolymer-antibiotic bioconjugates.

Project description:Over-prescription and improper use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of bacterial resistance, posing a major threat to public health. There has been significant interest in the development of alternative therapies and agents to combat antibiotic resistance. We report the preparation of recyclable magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles grafted with charged cobaltocenium-containing metallopolymers by surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. ?-Lactam antibiotics were then conjugated with metallopolymers to enhance their vitality against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The enhanced antibacterial activity was a result of synergy of antimicrobial segments that facilitate the inhibition of hydrolysis of antibiotics and local enhancement of antibiotic concentration on a nanoparticle surface. These magnetic nanoparticles can be recycled numerous times without losing the initial antimicrobial potency. Studies suggested negligible toxicity of metallopolymer-grafted nanoparticles to red blood cells and minimal tendency to induce resistance in bacteria.

Ternary MOF-on-MOF heterostructures with controllable architectural and compositional complexity via multiple selective assembly.

Project description:Assembly of different metal-organic framework (MOF) building blocks into hybrid MOF-on-MOF heterostructures is promising in chemistry and materials science, however the development of ternary MOF-on-MOF heterostructures with controllable architectural and compositional complexity is challenging. Here we report the synthesis of three types of ternary MOF-on-MOF heterostructures via a multiple selective assembly strategy. This strategy relies on the choice of one host MOF with more than one facet that can arrange the growth of a guest MOF, where the arrangement is site-selective without homogenous growth of guest MOF or homogenous coating of guest on host MOF. The growth of guest MOF on a selected site of host MOF in each step provides the opportunity to further vary the combinations of arrangements in multiple steps, leading to ternary MOF-on-MOF heterostructures with tunable complexity. The developed strategy paves the way towards the rational design of intricate and unprecedented MOF-based superstructures for various applications.

Selective Colorimetric "Turn-On" Probe for Efficient Engineering of Iminium Biocatalysis.

Project description:The efficient engineering of iminium biocatalysis has drawn considerable attention, with many applications in pharmaceutical synthesis. Here, we report a tailor-made iminium-activated colorimetric "turn-on" probe, specifically designed as a prescreening tool to facilitate engineering of iminium biocatalysis. Upon complexation of the probe with the catalytic Pro-1 residue of the model enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT), a brightly colored merocyanine-dye-type structure is formed. 4-OT mutants that formed this brightly colored species upon incubation with the probe proved to have a substantial activity for the iminium-based Michael-type addition of nitromethane to cinnamaldehyde, whereas mutants that showed no staining by the probe exhibited no or very low-level "Michaelase" activity. This system was exploited in a solid-phase prescreening assay termed as activated iminium colony staining (AICS) to enrich libraries for active mutants. AICS prescreening reduced the screening effort up to 20-fold. After two rounds of directed evolution, two artificial Michaelases were identified with up to 39-fold improvement in the activity for the addition of nitromethane to cinnamaldehyde, yielding the target ?-nitroaldehyde product with excellent isolated yield (up to 95%) and enantiopurity (up to >99% ee). The colorimetric activation of the turn-on probe could be extended to the class I aldolase 2-deoxy-d-ribose 5-phosphate aldolase, implicating a broader application of AICS in engineering iminium biocatalysis.

Magnetic Assembly Route to Construct Reproducible and Recyclable SERS Substrate.

Project description:The fabrication of a uniform array film through assembly of colloidal building blocks is of practical interest for the integrated individual and collective functions. Here, a magnetic assembly route was put forward to organize monodisperse noble metal microspheres into a uniform array film for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) application, which demonstrated the integrated signal sensitivity of single noble metal microspheres and reproducibility of their assembled uniform array film. For this purpose, monodisperse multifunctional Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2@Ag (FOSTA) colloidal microspheres as building blocks were successfully synthesized through a homemade ultrasonic-assisted reaction system. When used in SERS test, these multifunctional microspheres could firstly bind the analyte (R6G) from solution and then assembled into a uniform film under an external magnetic field, which exhibited high SERS detection sensitivity with good reproducibility. In addition, due to the TiO2 interlayer in FOSTA colloidal microspheres, the building blocks could be recycled and self cleaned through photocatalytic degradation of the adsorbed analyte for recycling SERS application.

Recyclable Magnetic Titania Nanocomposite from Ilmenite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity.

Project description:Using ilmenite as a raw material, iron was converted into Fe?O? magnetic fluid, which further was combined with titanium filtrate by a solvothermal method. Finally Fe?O?/TiO? nanocomposites with the uniform size of 100-200 nm were prepared. This approach uses rich, inexpensive ilmenite as a titanium and iron source, which effectively reduces the production cost. The crystal structure, chemical properties and morphologies of the products were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, UV-Vis, XPS and VSM. The novel photocatalyst composed of face-centered cubic Fe?O? and body-centered tetragonal anatase-TiO? exhibits a spherical shape with porous structures, superparamagnetic behavior and strong absorption in the visible light range. Using the degradation reaction of Rhodamine B (RhB) to evaluate the photocatalytic performance, the results suggest that Fe?O?/TiO? nanocomposites exhibit excellent photocatalytic activities and stability under visible light and solar light. Moreover, the magnetic titania nanocomposites displayed good magnetic response and were recoverable over several cycles. Based on the trapping experiments, the main active species in the photocatalytic reaction were confirmed and the possible photocatalytic mechanism of RhB with magnetic titania was proposed. The enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability, combined with excellent magnetic recoverability, make the prepared nanocomposite a potential candidate in wastewater purification.
