Abstract

Recent progress in nanotechnology has prompted research interest in immobilised enzymes on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets for their large specific surface area and abundant functional groups. In the present work, acid pectinase was immobilised on the GO via the cross-linking of amino groups on pectinase and functional groups (e.g. carboxyl group) on the GO surface. Acid pectinase was effectively immobilised on the support and high loading densities were obtained (2400 mg per g of support). In addition, the immobilised enzyme achieved a better catalytic efficiency (K cat/K m) than its free counterpart; 3.7 mg−1 min−1 mL for immobilised pectinase, 3.5 mg−1 min−1 mL for free pectinase. Under acidic conditions, pectinase immobilised on GO will be agglomerated, but the addition of surfactant PEG 6000 could solve the problem and afford higher catalytic activity and catalytic efficiency.
