PMID- 37716172 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20231009 LR - 20231018 IS - 1095-8630 (Electronic) IS - 0301-4797 (Linking) VI - 346 DP - 2023 Nov 15 TI - Enhanced stability and catalytic performance of laccase immobilized on magnetic graphene oxide modified with ionic liquids. PG - 118975 LID - S0301-4797(23)01763-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118975 [doi] AB - Graphite oxide (GO) is an excellent laccase immobilization material. However, the electrostatic interaction between graphene leads to the accumulation of GO, as well as the interaction with the surface of enzyme molecules causing protein denaturation and deactivation, which limits its further industrial application. In this study, the ionic liquids (ILs) modification strategy was proposed to improve the stability and catalytic performance of immobilized laccase. The laccase-ILs-MGO exhibited remarkable enzymatic properties, with significant enhancements in organic solvent tolerance, thermal and operational stability. The laccase-ILs-MGO system exhibited a remarkable removal efficiency of 95.5% towards 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) within 12 h and maintained over 70.0% removal efficiency after seven reaction cycles. In addition, the efficient elimination of other phenolic compounds and recalcitrant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons could also be accomplished. Molecular dynamics simulation and molecular docking studies demonstrated that immobilized laccase exhibited superior structural rigidity and stronger hydrogen bond interactions with substrates compared to free laccase, which was beneficial for the stability of both the laccase and substrate degradation efficiency. Therefore, this study proposed a simple and practical strategy for modifying GO with ILs, providing novel insights into developing efficient enzyme immobilization techniques.
