| Resumo: | Lipase adsorption on solid supports can be mediated by a precise balance of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. A suitable fine-tuning could allow the immobilized enzyme to display high catalytic activity. The objective of this work was to investigate how pH and ionic strength fluctuations affected protein-support interactions during immobilization via physical adsorption of a Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) on MgFe2O5. The highest amount of immobilized protein (IP) was measured at pH 4, and an ionic strength of 90 mM. However, these immobilization conditions did not register the highest hydrolytic activity (HA) in the biocatalyst (CRLa@MgFe2O4), finding the best values also at acidic pH but with a slight shift towards higher values of ionic strength around 110 mM. These findings were confirmed when the adsorption isotherms were examined under different immobilization conditions so that the maximum measurements of IP did not coincide with that of HA. Furthermore, when the recovered activity was examined, a strong interfacial hyperactivation of the lipase was detected towards acidic pH and highly charged surrounding environments. Spectroscopic studies, as well as in silico molecular docking analyses, revealed a considerable involvement of surface hydrophobic protein-carrier interactions, with aromatic aminoacids, especially phenylalanine residues, playing an important role. In light of these findings, this study significantly contributes to the body of knowledge and a better understanding of the factors that influence the lipase immobilization process on magnetic inorganic oxide nanoparticle surfaces. |
