Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bioengineering technology, and in particular to a MOF hybrid hydrogel microbead with immobilized dual enzymes, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Enzymes, as highly efficient and specific biocatalysts, play a vital role in fields such as medicine, food, chemical industry, and environmental monitoring. However, free enzymes often face problems in practical applications, such as poor stability, difficulty in recycling, and sensitivity to environmental factors (e.g., temperature, pH), which greatly limit their industrial application. To overcome these shortcomings, enzyme immobilization technology has emerged.

[0003] In recent years, multi-enzyme cascade catalytic systems have attracted widespread attention due to their ability to mimic complex metabolic networks in vivo, achieve one-pot multi-step reactions, reduce the separation and purification steps of intermediate products, and improve overall reaction efficiency. However, the optimal working conditions of different enzymes may vary, and non-specific interactions or inhibition may occur between enzyme molecules or between enzymes and substrates / products within the same space, leading to a decrease in catalytic efficiency. Therefore, developing carriers and methods that can achieve spatially ordered enzyme arrangement (i.e., partitioned immobilization) is crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] Therefore, the first objective of this invention is to provide a MOF hybrid hydrogel microsphere with immobilized dual enzymes; the second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing such MOF hybrid hydrogel microspheres with immobilized dual enzymes; and the third objective of this invention is to provide the application of such MOF hybrid hydrogel microspheres with immobilized dual enzymes in the fields of constructing biosensors, producing pharmaceutical intermediates, synthesizing fine chemicals, and degrading environmental pollutants.

[0006] The inventive concept of this invention is as follows: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous crystalline materials formed by the self-assembly of metal ions / clusters and organic ligands. Due to their high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and good chemical stability, MOFs are considered highly promising enzyme immobilization carriers. In-situ encapsulation, where enzymes are embedded as guest molecules during MOF synthesis, can achieve efficient enzyme encapsulation under mild conditions, providing a robust "armor" for the enzyme molecules and effectively preventing leaching and denaturation. Hydrogels, especially natural polymer hydrogels such as alginate, are widely used for immobilizing biomolecules due to their excellent biocompatibility, high water content, and mild gelation conditions. This invention combines the rigid porous structure of MOFs with the flexible network of hydrogels to construct MOF-hydrogel hybrid materials, systematically achieving a two-enzyme layered immobilization strategy while retaining the advantages of both.

[0007] Specifically, the MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads immobilized with dual enzymes of this invention have a spatially layered structure consisting of an MOF encapsulating the first enzyme and a hydrogel loaded with the second enzyme distributed around the MOF. The first enzyme is encapsulated in a rigid MOF lattice, effectively immobilizing its conformation and significantly enhancing its resistance to high temperatures, pH, and organic solvents. The second enzyme is distributed in the hydrogel matrix surrounding the first enzyme@MOF complex, and the hydrogel network also provides a mild protective environment for the second enzyme. This spatially layered structure achieves spatial partitioning of the dual enzymes, effectively avoiding mutual interference between enzymes, enhancing the efficiency of cascade reactions, and significantly improving the enzyme's thermal stability, operational stability, storage stability, and recyclability. It effectively addresses the problems of small size of enzyme particles immobilized by a single MOF and low enzyme loading capacity of the hydrogel, simplifies post-processing procedures during application, and overcomes the limitations of traditional enzyme co-immobilization methods.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, the present invention provides MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads with immobilized dual enzymes, wherein the dual enzymes are a first enzyme and a second enzyme constituting a cascade catalytic reaction, and the MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads with immobilized dual enzymes have a spatially layered structure; the spatially layered structure includes an MOF encapsulating the first enzyme and a hydrogel loaded with the second enzyme distributed around the MOF.

[0009] In this invention, the MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads immobilized with two enzymes have a spatially layered structure. This spatially layered structure realizes the spatial partitioning of the two enzymes, effectively avoids mutual interference between enzymes, enhances the efficiency of cascade reactions, and significantly improves the thermal stability, operational stability, storage stability, and recyclability of the enzymes.

[0010] Preferably, the stability of the first enzyme is lower than that of the second enzyme. The MOF rigid framework can isolate the enzyme from damage caused by extreme pH, organic solvents, proteases, etc., and prolong the enzyme's lifespan. Therefore, it is used for the first enzyme, which has poor stability in a two-enzyme combination.

[0011] Preferably, the particle size of the MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads with immobilized dual enzymes is 1~3 mm.

[0012] In this invention, the MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads immobilized with dual enzymes are uniform in size, with a particle size of 1-3 mm, and are easy to separate from the reaction system by filtration or sedimentation, thus realizing easy recovery and recycling of the enzymes and greatly reducing application costs.

[0013] Preferably, the first enzyme is selected from one of aldehyde-ketone reductase, alcohol dehydrogenase, glucose oxidase, transaminase, amylase, peroxidase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, pectinase, carbon dioxide dehydrogenase, monooxygenase, urease, cholinesterase, and lipase.

[0014] Preferably, the second enzyme is selected from one of formate dehydrogenase, catalase, horseradish peroxidase, glutamate dehydrogenase, saccharifying enzyme, laccase, lactate dehydrogenase, cellulase, formate dehydrogenase, glucose dehydrogenase, peroxidase, and esterase.

[0015] Preferably, the first enzyme and the second enzyme comprise at least one pair of the following enzyme combinations: aldehyde-ketone reductase and formate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase, glucose oxidase and catalase, glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase, transaminase and glutamate dehydrogenase, amylase and saccharifying enzyme, peroxidase and laccase, pyruvate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase, pectinase and cellulase, carbon dioxide dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase, monooxygenase and glucose dehydrogenase, urease and glutamate dehydrogenase, cholinesterase and peroxidase, lipase and esterase.

[0016] Secondly, the method for preparing the MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads with immobilized dual enzymes as described in the first aspect of the present invention includes the following steps: S1: The first enzyme is encapsulated within an MOF to prepare a first enzyme@MOF complex; the first enzyme@MOF complex is a core-shell structure with the first enzyme as the core and the MOF as the shell, and the first enzyme is encapsulated within the MOF shell. S2: The first enzyme@MOF complex, the second enzyme, and the hydrogel components are dispersed in the medium to form a hybrid hydrogel precursor solution; S3: Crosslink the hybrid hydrogel precursor solution with a crosslinking agent to form MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads with immobilized dual enzymes.

[0017] In this invention, the method for preparing MOF hybrid hydrogel microbeads with immobilized dual enzymes provided by the inventors mainly consists of three stages: the preparation stage of the first enzyme@MOF complex, the preparation stage of the hybrid hydrogel precursor solution, and the cross-linking and molding stage of the hybrid hydrogel microbeads. In the first stage, MOFs are used to in-situ embed the first enzyme. During the MOF lattice formation process, the first enzyme is encapsulated in-situ within pores or cavities, forming a nanoscale first enzyme@MOF complex. The embedding efficiency can reach 60%~99%, avoiding enzyme molecule aggregation or degradation. Mild synthesis conditions (room temperature, aqueous solution) can maximize enzyme activity. The rigid framework of MOFs can isolate the enzyme from extreme pH, organic solvents, proteases, etc., extending the enzyme's lifespan. It can be used to immobilize enzymes with poor stability in dual enzymes. The high specific surface area and abundant pore structure of MOFs facilitate rapid substrate / product diffusion and reduce mass transfer limitations. In the second stage, the first enzyme@MOF, the second enzyme, and the hydrogel components are mixed to obtain the hybrid hydrogel precursor. In the third stage, a cross-linking agent is used to cross-link the hybrid hydrogel precursor, forming uniform spherical hybrid hydrogel microbeads. The prepared hybrid hydrogel microbeads have a particle size of 1-3 mm, exhibit good stability and mechanical properties, are easily separated from the reaction system by filtration or sedimentation, and retain the activity of both enzymes (enzyme activity recovery rate is higher than 90%), enabling easy enzyme recovery and multiple recycling, greatly reducing application costs. Compared with systems using MOF to directly embed mixed enzymes in situ or using composite polymers to directly embed mixed enzymes in situ, the MOF hybrid hydrogel microbead immobilization system prepared in this invention effectively isolates the two enzymes, avoiding direct contact and potential mutual inhibition between them, shortening the diffusion distance of intermediate products, and greatly improving the overall efficiency of the cascade reaction.

[0098] II. Performance testing of catalytic conversion of ethyl 6-carbonyl-8-chlorooctanoate to (R)-6-hydroxy-8-chlorooctanoate In the reaction processes of Microbead Catalysis Example 1, Comparative Catalysis Example 1, and Comparative Catalysis Example 2, every hour, 200 μL of the reaction solution was taken, extracted with 200 μL of methyl tert-butyl ether, centrifuged, and the upper organic phase was collected for TLC testing. The developing solvent was petroleum ether:ethyl acetate 7:3 (v:v). The TLC test results are as follows. Figure 13 As shown. Figure 13 In the table, A1, A2, A3, and A4 represent the TLC detection results of the microbead catalytic reaction Example 1 at 1h, 2h, 3h, and 4h of catalytic conversion, respectively; B1, B2, B3, and B4 represent the TLC detection results of the catalytic reaction Comparative Example 1 at 1h, 2h, 3h, and 4h of catalytic conversion, respectively; and C1, C2, C3, and C4 represent the TLC detection results of the catalytic reaction Comparative Example 2 at 1h, 2h, 3h, and 4h of catalytic conversion.

[0099] Depend on Figure 13 It was observed that after 4 hours of reaction, both Comparative Examples 1 and 2 of the catalytic reaction could only catalyze the conversion of approximately 20% of ethyl 6-carbonyl-8-chlorooctanoate. However, in Example 1 of the microbead catalytic reaction, the catalytic conversion rate of ethyl 6-carbonyl-8-chlorooctanoate reached over 90% after 3 hours, and the substrate was almost invisible after 4 hours, indicating that almost all of it was converted into product. This demonstrates that, based on the layered co-immobilization of two enzymes proposed in this invention, the AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads prepared in Example 1 of this invention effectively isolate the AKR and FDH enzymes, avoiding direct contact and potential mutual inhibition between the two enzymes, while also shortening the diffusion distance of intermediate products, thus greatly improving the overall efficiency of the cascade reaction.

[0100] In Example 1 of the microbead-catalyzed reaction, after a 4-hour reaction, 200 μL of the reaction solution was taken, extracted with 200 μL of methyl tert-butyl ether, centrifuged, and the upper organic phase was collected.

[0107] III. Recyclability Test The recyclability and stability of the AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microspheres prepared in Example 1 were tested. Specifically, following the catalytic method of Example 1 for microsphere catalysis, after 4 hours of reaction, the microspheres were filtered and recovered, repeatedly washed with phosphate buffer (pH=7.0, 0.1 M), and then soaked in 50 mL of 3% (w / v) calcium chloride solution for 2 hours. The microspheres were then removed and the reaction was continued according to the catalytic reaction method of Example 1 for microsphere catalysis. This procedure was repeated for 5 cycles. After each reaction, the filtrate was collected and extracted with an equal volume of methyl tert-butyl ether. The upper organic phase was collected, dehydrated with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then rotary evaporated to obtain the product. The product was analyzed by gas chromatography, and the product conversion rate was calculated based on the peak area. The product conversion rate of the first cycle was taken as 100%, and the ratio of the product conversion rate of each subsequent cycle to the product conversion rate of the first cycle was the relative enzyme activity.

[0108] Figure 16 The relative enzyme activity was measured after five cycles of catalysis using AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel beads. Figure 16 It can be seen that after 5 cycles of the reaction, the AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads still maintained more than 85% of the enzyme activity, which shows that the AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads of the present invention have excellent recyclability.

[0109] IV. Storage Stability Test 1. The AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microspheres and free AKR prepared in Example 1 were stored at 30°C for 7 days, and samples were taken periodically to test their activity.

[0110] Activity assay method: In a 1cm quartz cuvette, add 2mL of preheated (30℃) pH 7.0, 0.1M phosphate buffer solution, 10μL of 0.048M reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) solution, and 10μL of ethyl 6-carbonyl-8-chlorooctanoate. Mix well, then add 10μL of free AKR enzyme solution (or an equal amount of AKR enzyme AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel beads), shake quickly, and record the activity every 15 seconds for 120 seconds. 340 Absorbance change value. The enzyme activity is calculated based on the amount of enzyme required to consume 1 μmol of NADPH per minute, as shown in Formula I:

[0111] Formula I in, A represents the change in absorbance of NADPH at 340 nm over 60 seconds; V represents the reaction volume (2.0 mL); T represents the reaction time (60 s); m represents the amount of enzyme added; b represents the molar extinction coefficient of NADPH, which is 6220 L / (mol). (cm), where l is the optical path length of the cuvette: 1cm. The initial enzyme activity is taken as 100%, and the ratio of subsequent enzyme activities to this initial enzyme activity is the relative enzyme activity.

[0112] Figure 17 The figure shows the storage stability test results of free AKR and AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads at 30°C. Figure 17 It can be seen that the relative enzyme activity of free AKR is only 20% after 140 hours of storage; while the relative enzyme activity of AKR immobilized by AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads is still more than 50% after 168 hours of storage, indicating that AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads significantly improve the storage stability of AKR. 2. The AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microspheres and free FDH prepared in Example 1 were stored at 30°C for 7 days, and samples were taken periodically to test their activity.

[0113] Activity assay method: In a 1cm quartz cuvette, add 1.75 mL of preheated (30℃) pH 7.0, 0.1M phosphate buffer solution, 100 μL of 4M ammonium formate solution, and 100 μL of 30mM DADP+ solution. Mix well, then add 50 μL of free FDH enzyme solution (or an equal amount of FDH enzyme AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel beads). Shake quickly and record A values ​​at 15-second intervals over 120 seconds. 340 Absorbance change value. The enzyme activity is determined by the amount of enzyme required to generate 1 μmol NADPH per minute, calculated using Formula I. The initial enzyme activity is taken as 100%, and the enzyme activity in subsequent tests relative to this value is the relative enzyme activity.

[0114] Figure 18 The figure shows the storage stability test results of FDH immobilized in free FDH and AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads at 30°C. Figure 18 It can be seen that the relative enzyme activity of free FDH is only 10% after 96 hours of storage; while the relative enzyme activity of FDH immobilized by AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads is still more than 40% after 168 hours of storage. This indicates that AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads significantly improve the storage stability of FDH.

[0115] In summary, this invention employs a layered strategy of encapsulating the first enzyme within a MOF to prepare a first enzyme@MOF complex, and immobilizing the second enzyme and the first enzyme@MOF complex within a hydrogel. This effectively isolates the two enzymes, avoiding direct contact and potential mutual inhibition, while simultaneously shortening the diffusion distance of intermediate products and significantly improving the overall efficiency of the cascade reaction. Using the AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads prepared according to this invention to catalyze the production of ethyl (R)-6-hydroxy-8-chlorooctanoate, the catalytic conversion efficiency reached over 97.5% after 4 hours of catalytic reaction, while single MOF-immobilized enzymes and single hydrogel-immobilized enzymes could only catalyze the conversion of approximately 20% of ethyl 6-carbonyl-8-chlorooctanoate. Furthermore, the ethyl (R)-6-hydroxy-8-chlorooctanoate obtained by the AKR@ZIF-8-FDH@SA / PVA hybrid hydrogel microbeads of this invention has an ee value greater than 99%, indicating high purity of the catalytic product.
