Abstract
In this study, imidazolium-based ionic liquid with [tf2N]− as the anion was successfully grafted to magnetic polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA). The prepared materials were well characterized and used as supports for lipase immobilization. The immobilized lipase (PPL-ILs-MPDA) exhibited excellent activity and stability. The specific activity of PPL-ILs-MPDA was 2.15 and 1.49 folds higher than that of free PPL and PPL-MPDA. In addition, after 10 rounds of reuse, the residual activity of PPL-ILs-MPDA was 86.2 % higher than that of PPL-MPDA (75.4 %). Furthermore, the kinetic assay indicated that the affinity between PPL-ILs-MPDA and substrate had increased. Analysis of the secondary structure using circular dichroism was used to explain the mechanism underlying the improvement in the performance of PPL-ILs-MPDA. In addition, the immobilized lipase can be easily separated from the reaction system with a magnet. The observations regarding the development of new supports for lipase immobilization may provide new ideas regarding further studies in this field.
