Title: Enhancing Substrate Channeling with Multi-Enzyme Architectures in Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Frameworks. Author: Oskoei V, Mathesh M, Yang W. Journal: Chemistry; 2024 Jul 19; 30(41):e202401256. PubMed ID: 38719746. Abstract: Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOF) represent an emerging category of organic structures with high crystallinity and metal-free, which are not commonly observed in alternative porous organic frameworks. These needle-like porous structure can help in stabilizing enzymes and allow transfer of molecules between enzymes participating in cascade reactions for enhanced substrate channelling. Herein, we systematically synthesized and investigated the stability of HOF at extreme conditions followed by one-pot encapsulation of single and bi-enzyme systems. Firstly, we observed HOF to be stable at pH 1 to 14 and at high temperatures (up to 115 °C). Secondly, the encapsulated glucose oxidase enzyme (GOX) showed 80 % and 90 % of its original activity at 70 °C and pH 11, respectively. Thirdly, transient time close to 0 seconds was observed for HOF encapsulated bi-enzyme cascade reaction system demonstrating a 4.25-fold improvement in catalytic activity when compared to free enzymes with enhanced substrate channelling. Our findings showcase a facile system synthesized under ambient conditions to encapsulate and stabilize enzymes at extreme conditions.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
