Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis feruloyl esterase, immobilized on mesoporous silica, is useful in the development of biocatalysts for customization of the antioxidant properties of hydroxycinnamic acids Humicola sp.

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information immobilization of feruloyl esterase on mesoporous silica as support. Immobilization in mesoporous silica with larger pore size of 9 nm shows higher protein loading and higher specific activity compared to immobilization with smaller pore size of 5 nm. Adsorption into mesoporous silica changes the product specificity of the enzymes to favor transesterification and decrease the rate of hydrolysis compared to free enzymes, overview. The immobilized enzyme has a butyl ferulate yield of up to 90%, significantly higher compared to free enzyme. Additionally, the immobilized enzymes shows an excellent operational stability and reusability, retaining 70% or more of the initial activity after 6 sequential runs, each lasting 6 days Humicola sp.
