Abstract

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is an enzyme belonging to the oxidoreductase class with applications in biotechnology and the food industry, environmental depollution and clinical diagnosis. HRP is an effective biocatalyst in the oxidation of organic compounds. Many biotechnology fields, such as environmental applications and the pharmaceutical industry, require stable peroxidase-based biocatalytic systems. The goal of our work was to develop efficient immobilized biocatalysts containing HRP. HRP immobilization was performed in biocompatible silica matrices obtained by the sol-gel method. Two precursors were used - tetramethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilan. Ethanol has been used as a classical co-solvent in sol-gel methods. For better protection of enzyme molecules, ethylene glycol has also been tested in soil synthesis as an alternative to ethanol. The immobilization of HRP in alkoxysilane matrices was done with good immobilization yields. The gels containing the immobilized enzymes had a good stability over time, being effective systems for the controlled release of the enzyme.
