AB  - A commercial preparation of Candida rugosa lipases (CRL) was tested for the production of capsinoids by esterification of vanillyl alcohol (VA) with free fatty acids (FA) and coconut oil (CO) as acyl donors. Screening of FA chain length indicated that C8-C12 FA (the most common FA found in CO triglycerides) are the best acyl-donors, yielding 80-85% of their specific capsinoids. Hence, when CO, which is rich in these FA, was used as the substrate, a mixture of capsinoids (vanillyl caprylate, vanillyl decanoate and vanillyl laurate) was obtained. The findings presented here suggest that our experimental method can be applied for the enrichment of CO with capsinoids, thus giving it additional health promoting properties.

AB  - Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) represent a diverse group of well-characterized prebiotic ingredients derived from lactose in a reaction catalyzed with beta-galactosidases. Enzymatic transgalactosylation results in a mixture of compounds of various degrees of polymerization and types of linkages. Because structure plays an important role in terms of prebiotic activity, it is of crucial importance to provide an insight into the mechanism of transgalactosylation reaction and occurrence of different types of beta-linkages during GOS synthesis. Our study proved that a novel one-step method, based on ion-mobility spectrometry tandem mass spectrometry (IMS-MS/MS), enables complete elucidation of GOS structure. It has been shown that) beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae has the highest affinity toward formation of beta-(1 - gt  3) or beta-(1 - gt  6) linkages. Additionally, it was observed that the occurrence of different linkages varies during the reaction course, indicating that tailoring favorable GOS structures with improved prebiotic activity can be achieved by adequate control of enzymatic synthesis.

AB  - This work examines two approaches for immobilization of lipase from Candida rugosa on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (o-MWCNTs). One method included the presence of activating agents to promote covalent bonding and the other the adsorption on o-MWCNTs to elucidate if non-specific bonding on the o-MWCNTs surface exists. The influence of the immobilization time and initial enzyme concentration on protein loading and the expressed lypolitic activity of the immobilized preparation were investigated. The results showed that the enzyme adsorbs on o-MWCNTs in a maximal amount of 37 mu g mg(-1) CNTs, while the attached amount was more than 2-times higher under covalent promoting conditions (80 mu g mg(-1) CNTs). Furthermore, similar trends were observed for the lypolitic activity, whereby preparations obtained under covalent promoting conditions had almost 3-times higher activity (560 IU g(-1) of immobilized enzyme). In addition, immobilization of the enzyme was confirmed by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.

AB  - Hydroxyapatite (HAP), a calcium-phosphate bioactive ceramic, is actively employed in medical and separation sciences. Although different classes of biomacromolecules interact with this material, interactions with proteins are the most important, since they directly affect the biocompatibility of the carrier and it's industrial application. In the presented work, we thoroughly investigate and elucidate the interaction mechanism between Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) upon it's immobilization on HAP, since this immobilized enzyme showed advanced catalytic properties in previous studies. Applying elution and protein modification strategies we concluded that Ca-chelation of HAP's C-site and CRL's -COOH groups is the most probable interacting mechanism. A proteomics approach revealed that this chelation is conserved throughout all CRL isoforms, while results of molecular modelling led us to propose the involvement of a specific region of the protein surface and side chains in interactions with HAP.

AB  - BACKGROUNDBiocatalysts are a promising alternative for the production of natural flavor compounds. Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) is a particularly important biocatalyst owing to its remarkable efficiency in both hydrolysis and synthesis. However, additional stabilization is necessary for successful industrial implementation. This study presents an easy and time-saving method for immobilizing this valuable enzyme on hydroxyapatite (HAP), a biomaterial with high protein-binding capacity. RESULTSTargeted immobilized CRL was obtained in high yield of 98%. Significant lipase stabilization was observed upon immobilization: at 60 degrees C, immobilized lipase (HAP-CRL) retained almost unchanged activity after 3h, while free CRL lost 50% of its initial activity after only 30min. The same trend was observed with tested organic solvents. Methanol and hexane had the most pronounced effect: after 3h, only HAP-CRL was stable and active, while CRL was completely inactivated. The practical value of the prepared catalyst was tested in the synthesis of the aroma ester methyl acetate in hexane. Reaction yields were 2.6 and 52.5% for CRL and HAP-CRL respectively. CONCLUSIONThis research has successfully combined an industrially prominent biocatalyst, CRL, and a biocompatible, environmentally suitable carrier, HAP, into an immobilized preparation with improved catalytic properties. The obtained CRL preparation has excellent potential for the food and flavor industries, major consumers in the global enzyme market.

AB  - In this study, enzymatic synthesis of galactoside of salicin, compound with potential physiological activity due to structural resemblance with galectin inhibitors, and analgesic and antipyretic properties of salicin, was performed using beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae. It was determined, using HPLC and ion mobility mass spectrometry, that enzymatic synthesis was highly selective since only one isomer was formed via primary hydroxyl group on glucose moiety of salicin. The optimization of key experimental factors using response surface methodology enabled galactosyl salicin concentration up to 30.8 mM obtained at lactose concentration 40 mM, salicin concentration 110 mM, enzyme amount 360 IU and reaction time 12 h.

AB  - Benzyl alcohol, a potent anesthetic and bacteriostatic, can be efficiently glucosylated by alpha-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce benzyl alcohol alpha-glucoside with a 75% yield. However, while studying the transglucosylation reaction conditions, it was found out that benzyl alcohol is a non-competitive inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase's hydrolytic activity (K-i = 18 mM, toward maltose). Due to its interesting ability to be glycosylated by the enzyme and to inhibit its hydrolytic activity, we proposed a plausible mechanism for the phenolic alpha-glucosydase inhibitor's binding, since the mechanism of inhibition has not yet been elucidated.

abstract = "Benzyl alcohol, a potent anesthetic and bacteriostatic, can be efficiently glucosylated by alpha-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce benzyl alcohol alpha-glucoside with a 75% yield. However, while studying the transglucosylation reaction conditions, it was found out that benzyl alcohol is a non-competitive inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase's hydrolytic activity (K-i = 18 mM, toward maltose). Due to its interesting ability to be glycosylated by the enzyme and to inhibit its hydrolytic activity, we proposed a plausible mechanism for the phenolic alpha-glucosydase inhibitor's binding, since the mechanism of inhibition has not yet been elucidated.",

AB  - Our investigation of the catalytic properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-glucosidase (AGL) using hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) isomers as transglucosylation substrates and their glucosides in hydrolytic reactions demonstrated interesting findings pertaining to the aglycon specificity of this important enzyme. AGL specificity increased from the para(p)- to the ortho(o)-HBA isomer in transglucosylation, whereas such AGL aglycon specificity was not seen in hydrolysis, thus indicating that the second step of the reaction (i.e., binding of the glucosyl acceptor) is rate-determining. To study the influence of substitution pattern on AGL kinetics, we compared AGL specificity, inferred from kinetic constants, for HBA isomers and other aglycon substrates. The demonstrated inhibitory effects of HBA isomers and their corresponding glucosides on AGL-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl a-glucoside (PNPG) suggest that HBA glucosides act as competitive, whereas HBA isomers are noncompetitive, inhibitors. As such, we postulate that aromatic moieties cannot bind to an active site unless an enzyme-glucosyl complex has already formed, but they can interact with other regions of the enzyme molecule resulting in inhibition.

AB  - alpha-1,4-Glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an enzyme which is widely used in synthesis of different drugs. Glucosidase inhibitors are studied as potential drugs for prevention of HIV and diabetes. For understanding of these processes it is very important to have insights in the transglucosylation activity of this enzyme. In this paper the kinetics of transglucosylation reaction catalyzed by this enzyme in the synthesis of benzyl alcohol glucoside was studied and all relevant kinetic constants for this system are found. It was shown one additional property of transglycosylation reactions catalyzed by glycosidases-inhibition by both, glucose acceptor and glucose donor, and mechanisms for these inhibitions were proposed.

AB  - Lipase A from Candida antarctica (CAL A) was purified to apparent homogeneity in a single step using hydroxyapatite (HAP) chromatography. CAL A bound to HAP was eluted with 10 mM Na-phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 containing 0.5% Triton X-100. The protocol resulted in a 3.74-fold purification with 94.7% final recovery and 400.83 U/mg specific activity. Silver staining after SDS-PAGE revealed the presence a single band of 45 kDa. The enzyme exhibited a temperature optimum of 60 degrees C, was unaffected by monovalent metal ions, but was destabilized by divalent metal ions (Zn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Mn2+) and stimulated by 50 mM Fe2+. Detergents at 0.1% concentrations did not affect lipase activity. Except for Triton X-100, detergent concentrations of 1% had a destabilizing effect.

AB  - A macroporous copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, poly(GMA-co-EGDMA), with various surface characteristics and mean pore size diameters ranging from 44 to 200 nm was synthesized, modified with 1,2-diaminoethane, and tested as a carrier for immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) by two covalent methods, glutaraldehyde and periodate. The highest specific activity of around 35 U g(-1) dry weight of carrier was achieved on poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) copolymers with mean pore diameters of 200 and 120 nm by the periodate method. A study of deactivation kinetics at 65 A degrees C and in 80 % dioxane revealed that periodate immobilization also produced an appreciable stabilization of the biocatalyst, while stabilization factor depended strongly on the surface characteristics of the copolymers. HRP immobilized on copolymer with a mean pore diameter of 120 nm by periodate method showing not only the highest specific activity but also good stability was further characterized. It appeared that the immobilization resulted in the stabilization of enzyme over a broader pH range while the Michaelis constant value (K (m)) of the immobilized HRP was 10.8 mM, approximately 5.6 times higher than that of the free enzyme. After 6 cycles of repeated use in a batch reactor for pyrogallol oxidation, the immobilized HRP retained 45 % of its original activity.

AB  - Vanillyl alcohol glucoside is very attractive molecule due to its very powerful physiological activity. In this article, a detailed kinetic study of transglucosylation of vanillyl alcohol was performed. It was demonstrated that this reaction is very efficient (selectivity factor is 149) and occurred by a ping-pong mechanism with inhibition by glucose acceptor. At low concentration of vanillyl alcohol one additional transglucosylation product was detected. Its structure was determined to be a-isomaltoside of vanillyl alcohol, indicating that vanillyl alcohol glucoside is a product of the first transglucosylation reaction and a substrate for second, so the whole reaction mechanism was proposed. It was demonstrated that the rate of isomaltoside synthesis is two orders of magnitude smaller than glucoside synthesis, and that maltase has interestingly high Km value to maltose when vanillyl alcohol glucoside is second transglucosylation substrate.

AB  - Novel glucoside of physiological active vanillyl alcohol was synthesized for the first time using maltase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as catalyst, and established its structure as 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl-alpha-d-glucopyranoside. The key reaction factors for this transglucosylation reaction were optimized using response surface methodology and the highest yield so far in maltase catalyzed transglucosylation reaction was obtained. It was found out that optimum temperature of reaction was 37 A degrees C, optimal maltose concentration was 60% (w/v), optimal pH was 6.6, and optimal concentration of vanillyl alcohol was 158 mM. Under these conditions, yield of glucoside was 90 mM with no by product formation. It was shown that this compound posses good antioxidant activity as well as stability in gastrointestinal tract. It was demonstrated that it is hydrolyzed on brush border membrane of enterocytes, so it can serve in protecting gastrointestinal system from oxidation, as well as source of anticonvulsive drug after the hydrolysis of glucoside on brush border membrane of small intestine.

AB  - The production of lipase from Pseudozyma aphidis (DSM 70725) was determined in six different media. The highest lipase production was observed in a medium with glucose as the sole carbon source, and yeast extract and sodium nitrate as the nitrogen sources. The time course studies of growth and lipase production in the optimal medium revealed that the highest lipase production was achieved at the end of the log phase of growth, reaching the value of 35.0 U cm-3 in the fifth day of cultivation. The effects of various polar, water-miscible, organic solvents on the activity and stability of the crude lipase produced by P. aphidis were evaluated. The hydrolytic activity of the crude lipase towards p-nitrophenyl palmitate (p-NPP) in aqueous media and in organic solvents was determined, using the same spectrophotometric assay in both the aqueous and organic media. The crude lipase preparation exhibited activity towards p-NPP only in acetone and acetonitrile, while the lipase was stable only in acetone, with 23% residual activity after 24 h of incubation. These results suggested that lipase from P. aphidis can be used as a biocatalyst for potential applications in such organic solvents.
AB  - Proizvodnja lipaze iz Pseudozyma aphidis utvrđena je u šest različitih medijuma. Najviša proizvodnja uočena je u medijumu gde je glukoza bila izvor ugljenika, a ekstrakt kvasca i natrijum-nitrat izvori azota. Praćenjem dinamike rasta i proizvodnje lipaze u optimalnom medijumu, uočeno je da se najviša proizvodnja lipaze dostiže pred kraj logaritamske faze rasta, i dostiže vrednost od 35 U cm-3 u petom danu kultivacije, što je četri puta veća proizvodnja od one do sada prijavljene u literaturi. Utvrđen je efekat različitih polarnih organskih rastvarača, mešljivih sa vodom, na aktivnost i stabilnost lipaze iz P. aphidis. Hidrolitička aktivnost lipaze prema para-nitrofenil-palmitatu (p-NPP-u) u vo- denoj sredini i organskim rastvaračima utvrđena je upotrebom istog spektrofotometrijskog testa. Pokazano je da lipaza ima aktivnost prema p-NPP-u samo u acetonu i acetonitrilu, dok je enzim stabilan jedino u acetonu i zadržava 23% aktivnosti nakon 24 časa inkubacije. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da lipaza iz P. aphidis može biti korišćena kao biokatalizator za potencijalne primene u acetonu kao medijumu.

AB  - In this report, alpha-isosalicin, a potent anticoagulant and skin whitening agent, was synthesized by a highly efficient chemoselective and diastereoselective reaction, catalyzed by maltase from bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The highest yield of this one-step transglucosylation reaction was achieved with 50 mM of salicyl alcohol as a glucose acceptor. The key reaction factors were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with an enzyme concentration of 10 U/mL. The optimum temperature of the reaction was determined as 36.5 degrees C, the optimal maltose concentration was 40% (w/v), the optimal pH was 6.5, and the optimal reaction time was 16 h. Under these conditions 75% of alpha-isosalicin was obtained, with a yield of 10 g/L, and no by product formation was observed.
