Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, to a method for preparing bio-based condensed microspheres. The prepared microspheres have adjustable sizes and can efficiently encapsulate and maintain the activity of various functional substances (such as enzymes, proteins, and nanoparticles). Background Technology

[0002] Functionalized microspheres, especially those based on biomolecules, have broad application prospects in drug delivery, biosensing, and enzyme immobilization. Ideal bio-based microspheres should possess high biocompatibility, excellent loading capacity for active substances (such as enzymes, proteins, and nucleic acids), and a mild preparation environment that maintains their activity. However, current mainstream preparation methods (such as polymerization, emulsion-solvent evaporation, and spray drying) often face significant challenges: their processes are often complex and demanding, involving high temperatures, stirring, organic solvents, or extreme pH values, which can easily damage active substances, leading to enzyme inactivation, protein denaturation, or nucleic acid degradation; simultaneously, the use of organic solvents may introduce residual risks, threatening the activity of the loaded material and product safety; furthermore, these methods also have limitations in achieving high-concentration and high-efficiency loading of active substances.

[0003] To address the aforementioned challenges, condensate droplets formed by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) exhibit unique advantages: their formation process typically occurs spontaneously under near-physiological conditions (room temperature, neutral pH, aqueous phase), providing a mild platform for encapsulating highly active and sensitive biomolecules; simultaneously, condensate droplets possess selective adsorption capabilities for guest molecules (such as enzymes, dyes, drugs, and nanoparticles) and can form a high-concentration biomolecular microenvironment. Despite these advantageous properties, the lack of a shell severely limits their stability, making them prone to aggregation and pH / salt-induced dissociation, leading to leakage and loss of function, thus failing to meet the application requirements for long-term storage, recyclability, or complex physiological / industrial environments.

[0004] Physicochemical strategies for improving stability (membrane formation) often rely on polymer materials, resulting in flexible protective layers with insufficient mechanical strength and easy degradation. Nature provides an excellent example: organisms such as diatoms can construct inorganic protective shells with high mechanical strength and excellent chemical stability through biomineralization processes under mild conditions. Inspired by this, biomimetic mineralization technology has been used to enhance the performance of microspheres or microcapsules.

[0005] However, how to efficiently and controllably apply biomimetic mineralization strategies to aggregate droplets, and construct solid bio-based aggregate microspheres with a robust outer shell while retaining the high bioactivity loading capacity of the core and endowing it with excellent stability under mild aqueous conditions, remains a key technical challenge that urgently needs to be overcome in this field.

[0124] This invention provides a novel method for preparing bio-based aggregated microspheres based on biomimetic mineralization. The core of this method lies in directly constructing bio-based aggregated microspheres with a robust silica shell through a biomimetic mineralization process under mild aqueous conditions. Compared to existing microsphere preparation technologies (such as polymerization and emulsification methods), which often involve complex processes, harsh conditions (high temperature, high pressure, organic solvents), and the resulting damage to bioactive substances, this method requires only simple mixing and can be completed at room temperature and pressure without organic solvents. This maximizes the preservation of the activity of the encapsulated substances (especially sensitive biomolecules such as enzymes) and eliminates the risk of residual organic solvents, significantly improving the biosafety of the product. The particle size of the SiO2 mineralized microspheres prepared by this method can be precisely controlled by the concentration and ratio of key biomolecules (such as QCS and ATP) and the reaction time. Simultaneously, the SiO2 shell is easily functionalized, endowing the microspheres with diverse surface properties. The resulting microspheres possess excellent mechanical strength, chemical stability, and environmental tolerance, and can efficiently enrich and encapsulate various functional substances (such as dyes, bioactive molecules, enzymes, and nanoparticles), making them particularly suitable as immobilized enzyme carriers for biocatalysis. This preparation method is simple, environmentally friendly, low-cost, and has scalability potential, opening new avenues for developing high-performance bio-based microspheres for applications in bioreactors, drug delivery, and cosmetics.
