The dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase from Salmonella enterica was immobilized using covalent binding to cyanogen bromide activated sepharose. The immobilized enzyme was used to produce dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose, a key sugar intermediate that can be used economically to produce diverse classes of unusual sugars appended in various antibiotics. The enzyme was immobilized on the sepharose after activation with cyanogen bromide. The maximum immobilization (80.03％) was achieved after 14 h of coupling. The covalently immobilized enzyme was stable, and an average of 78.4 ％ conversion was achieved until 120 h of immobilization when it was repeatedly used. Similar conversion was noticed for the first batch using the enzyme entrapped-hydrogel but activity was gradually decreased in the following batches. The production of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose by using an immobilized enzyme has high potential for commercial application.

The amylosucrase encoding gene from Deinococcus geothermalis DSM 11300 (DgAS) was codon-optimized and expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme was employed for biosynthesis of three different dihydroxybenzene glucosides using sucrose as the source of glucose moiety. The reaction parameters, including temperature, pH, and donor (sucrose) and acceptor substrate concentrations, were optimized to increase the production yield. This study demonstrates the highest ever reported molar yield of hydroquinone glucosides 325.6 mM (88.6 g/l), resorcinol glucosides 130.2 mM (35.4 g/l) and catechol glucosides 284.4 mM (77.4 g/l) when 400 mM hydroquinone, 200 mM resorcinol and 300 mM catechol, respectively, were used as an acceptor substrate. Furthermore, the use of commercially available amyloglucosidase at the end of the transglycosylation reaction minimized the gluco-oligosaccharides, thereby enhancing the target productivity of mono-glucosides. Moreover, the immobilized DgAS on Amicogen LKZ118 beads led to a 278.4 mM (75.8 g/l), 108.8 mM (29.6 g/l) and 211.2 mM (57.5 g/l) final concentration of mono-glycosylated product of hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol at 35 cycles, respectively, when the same substrate concentration was used as mentioned above. The percent yield of the total glycosides of hydroquinone and catechol varied from 85% to 90% during 35 cycles of reactions in an immobilized system, however, in case of resorcinol the yield was in between 65% to 70%. The immobilized DgAS enhanced the efficiency of the glycosylation reaction and is therefore considered effective for industrial application.

본 연구에서는 방사선에 의한 그래프트 중합을 이용하여 생체분자가 고정화된 다중벽탄소나노튜브 (MWCNT)를 제조하였다. 생체분자의 고정화를 위하여 MWCNT에 아크릴 산을 그래프트 중합하였다. 열중량분석과 라만 분석을 통하여 MWCNT에 폴리(아크릴 산)이 효과적으로 그래프트 중합되었음을 확인하였다. 폴리(아크릴 산)이 그래프트 된 MWCNT에 DNA와 단백질과 같은 생체분자들을 고정화하였다. X-선 광전자 분광법과 형광분석을 통하여 생체분자들이 성공적으로 MWCNT에 도입되었음이 확인되었다.
