Enzyme urease was immobilized in copolymer matrices of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N-vinyl pyrrolidone (VP). The activities of immobilized urease stored in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0 at 4-degrees-C were examined periodically for up to 90 days. For the matrices of higher VP/HEMA mole ratio in the structure, a higher volume increase and enhanced apparent activity were observed, while HEMA polymer alone proved to have the most stable matrix for prolonged activity. No appreciable amount of enzyme leakage was experienced for any of the matrices prepared. The effective diffusion coefficients of urea through these polymer matrices were calculated with a 'diffusion and reaction' model and the highest effective diffusion coefficient was found with pure HEMA matrix, possibly due to its laminated structure.

Immobilization of laccase in kappa-carrageenan based semi-interpenetrating polymer networks Makas, Y. Gizem; KALKAN, NİGAR; AKSOY, SERPİL; ALTINOK, HAYDAR; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2010-08-02) Laccase enzyme (L) was immobilized by entrapment into semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) prepared from kappa-carrageenan with either poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid) [P(AAm-AA)/kappa-car] or poly(acrylamide-itaconic acid) [P(AAm-IA)/kappa-car]. For both systems, immobilized enzymes achieved the same optimum values observed for free enzyme (pH = 5.0 and T = 40 degrees C), except for P(AAm-IA)/kappa-car system there was a shift to 5.5 in optimum pH value. At the end of 42 days of storage immobili...
Immobilization of glucose oxidase and urease in hydrogel matrices Gurel, I; Arica, MY; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1997-01-01) Immobilization of glucose oxidase and urease in hydrogels of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylae, and N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) was achieved by irradiation (using UV kand gamma-rays). The effect of radiation on entrapment efficiencies, retention of activities and swelling rates was obtained. To optimize the system, duration of exposure, reaction temperature, co-monomer concentrations, initiator and cross linker compositions were varied. The repeated reusability of the generated products was also tested. It was found...
Immobilization of invertase in conducting copolymers of 3-methylthienyl methacrylate Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Y. (Elsevier BV, 2003-4) Immobilization of invertase in conducting copolymer matrices of 3-methylthienyl methacrylate with pyrrole and thiophene was achieved by constant potential electrolysis using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the supporting electrolyte. Polythiophene (PTh) was also used in entrapment process for comparison. Kinetic parameters, Michaelis-Menten constant, Km, and the maximum reaction rate, Vmax, were investigated. Operational stability and temperature optimization of the enzyme electrodes were also examined.
Immobilization of urease in conducting thiophene-capped poly(methyl methacrylate)/pyrrole matrices Alkan, S; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Bakir, U; Yagci, Y (Elsevier BV, 2001-08-22) Urease was immobilized in conducting polypyrrole and block copolymers of thiophene-capped poly(methyl methacrylate) matrices by electropolymerization. Immobilization of the enzyme was achieved by application of 1.0 V constant potential in a solution of 0.02 M pyrrole, 2 mg/ml urease, 0.5 mg/ml supporting electrolyte. The optimum immobilization conditions, electrolysis time, electrolysis medium, enzyme concentration during electrolysis, type of supporting electrolyte were determined. The kinetic behaviors of...
Immobilization of invertase in functionalized copolymer matrices Erginer, Reyhan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Alkan, Selmiye; Bakir, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2000-10) In this study, immobilization of invertase on functionalized polymer electrodes constructed with pyrrole-capped polyazotetrahydrofuran and polytetrahydrofuran-block-polystyrene copolymer matrices was performed. Immobilization in these enzyme electrodes was carried out by file entrapment of the enzyme in conducting polymer matrices during electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole. Sodium dodecyl sulphate was used as the supporting electrolyte in the preparation of enzyme electrodes. The effects of temperatur...
