β-galactosidase was immobilized into pHEMA membranes with the highest specific activity yield of 9.5%. The specific activity of the entrapped enzyme was found to be decreased as the enzyme loading increased in pHEMA membranes. The optimum pH and temperature for maximum activity of the immobilized βgalactosidase was found to be at pH 7.5 and 50°C, respectively, and were the same as native enzyme. K(m) and V(max) values for the free enzyme were found to be 0.256 mM and 26.6 μmole/min/mg, respectively. K(m) value of immobilized βgalactosidase was found to be increased about 3 folds upon immobilization. Operational, thermal and storage stability of β-galactosidase were found to increase with immobilization. Immobilized enzyme preparation was reused in 15 cycles without significant loss in activity.

Comparison of beta-galactosidase immobilization by entrapment in and adsorption on poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) membranes
Baran, T; Arica, MY; Denizli, A; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1997-12-01)
beta-Galactosidase was immobilized in/on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membranes by two different methods: adsorption on Cibacron F3GA derivatized pHEMA membranes (pHEMA-CB), and entrapment in the bulk of the pHEMA membranes. The maximum beta-galactosidase adsorption on pHEMA-CB membranes was obtained as 95.6 mu g cm(-2) in 2.0 mg cm(-3) enzyme solution. The adsorption phenomena appeared to follow a typical Langmuir isotherm. In the entrapment, an increase in beta-galactosidase loading resulted ...
Effect of gamma irradiation on structure and electrical properties of (Bi,Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 superconductor
Albiss, BA; Ozkan, H; Bocuk, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ercan, I (1997-01-01)
Specimens of pure and Pb-doped high-T-c superconductors Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (BSCCO) were irradiated with gamma-rays up to an integrated dose of about 225 MR. The variations of normal state resistance, transition temperature, critical current and lattice parameters with gamma-irradiation were studied. The normal state resistance increases with increase of gamma-dose at zero applied magnetic field, whereas the transition temperature and the critical current decrease with the same gamma-dose. The intensities of th...
Investigation of adsorption of pesticides by organo-zeolite from wastewater
Lüle, Güzide Meltem; Atalay, M Ümit; Özbayoğlu, Gülhan; Department of Mining Engineering (2011)
The aim of this study was to determine the adsorption capacity of activated carbon and organo-zeolites for removal of pesticides in water. In order to prepare organo-zeolite, two kinds of cationic surfactants, namely, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB) and dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) were used. Adsorption studies of cationic surfactant on zeolite were investigated in respect to initial concentration of cationic surfactant, time, and temperature. It has been found that the best fitted is...
Preparation of Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles and Application for Immobilization of Laccase
Kalkan, Nuzhet Ayca; AKSOY, SERPİL; Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2012-01-15)
In this study, immobilization of laccase (L) enzyme on magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles was achieved, so that the immobilized enzyme could be used repeatedly. For this purpose, Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were coated and functionalized with chitosan (CS) and laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized onto chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)-CS) by adsorption or covalent binding after activating the hydroxyl groups of chitosan with carbodiimide (EDAC) or cyanuric chloride (CC). For chitosa...
