Enzymes play vital roles in all organisms. The enzymatic process is progressively at its peak, mainly for producing biochemical products with a higher value. The immobilization of enzymes can sometimes tremendously improve the outcome of biocatalytic processes, making the product(s) relatively pure and economical. Carrier-free immobilized enzymes can increase the yield of the product and the stability of the enzyme in biocatalysis. Immobilized enzymes are easier to purify. Due to these varied advantages, researchers are tempted to explore carrier-free methods used for the immobilization of enzymes. In this review article, we have discussed various aspects of enzyme immobilization, approaches followed to design a process used for immobilization of an enzyme and the advantages and disadvantages of various common processes used for enzyme immobilization.
Introduction
Enzymes have been the most important part of our day-to-day life. Enzymes can regulate the biochemical and chemical reactions in the organisms as well as in situ biotransformations without being altered in the process (Palmer and Bonner, 2007). These biocatalysts are mostly used in the industries such as pharmaceutical and dairy industries for making food and dairy products, pharmaceutical industries for making medicines, textile industry for texture improvement, and paper and pulp industry (Watanabe et al., 1988; Sheldon and Woodley, 2018). To increase the use of enzymes on an industrial scale as biocatalysts (Zhang et al., 2012; Chapman et al., 2018), it is mandated that the enzyme system must be stable in a reaction system, the enzyme must possess improved operational stability in an aqueous or organic or biphasic system, stable biocatalytic potential, optimal requirement of raw materials, and more, so the enzyme selectivity and specificity should be high (Kricka and Thorpe, 1986). On top of a biocatalytic system, preferably, the enzyme system should be driven into a hygienic and cleaner industrial process.
The goal of enzyme immobilization is to create a strong biocatalyst that can operate under non-native and severe conditions for a longer period. Therefore, instead of using soluble enzyme counterparts, countless efforts have been committed for the improvement of enzyme immobilization techniques, optimizing their catalytic efficiency for a greater yield, stability, and reusability (Cao, 2005; Cao et al., 2021). For instance, it is recommendable to identify a suitable reusable matrix with a better selective absorbent, create a green recyclable process in order to improve the control of the catalysis process, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the desired product. Immobilized enzymes comprise two essential functional units irrespective of their methods of preparation or nature of the enzyme preparation: First, they possess a non-catalytic unit which is essential for their separation with the host environment, recycle process, and overall process management; Second, the functional catalytic unit which converts the substrate into a product (Cao, 2011; Dwevedi, 2016). Non-catalytic units comprise chemical and physical characteristics of the immobilized enzyme system, such as size, shape, and length of the chosen carrier, whereas the catalytic units are more similar to the chemical properties such as selectivity, pH, and activity (Cao et al., 2003). These are the criteria of choice when planning for the immobilization process of an enzyme. Carrier-free enzymes provide a cost-effective, simple, and straightforward method of reusing enzymes while also maintaining their catalytic efficiency and thermostability. This immobilization technology has been thoroughly evaluated upon numerous enzymes, and it has been successfully used in industrial processes (Velasco-Lozano et al., 2016). Thus, this review shows different aspects of enzyme immobilization and various approaches, along with the disadvantages and advantages of common processes used for enzyme immobilization.
Approach Toward Immobilization of Enzymes
Currently, the use of enzymes as a robust immobilized biocatalyst system(s) is experiencing a passage through crucial transition(s). This is supported by the fact that the strategies used for the layout of immobilized enzymes have come to be more and more rational; often, more complex and advanced immobilization strategies are utilized to overcome difficulties of older immobilization strategies involving only a particular immobilization methodology (Cao, 2011). In this context, this article tries not only to summarize the plenty of the artwork in enzyme immobilization techniques but also examines the fashion of improvement of biocatalyst efficacy, the aggregate of numerous immobilization methods, strategies, or disciplines, which have been previously successfully employed to attain the favored.
Immobilization of Enzymes and Old vs. New Strategies
During earlier times, the enzyme immobilization or in-solubilization process was synonymously used (Patel et al., 1969). The term “enzyme immobilization” refers to the physical confinement of the soluble proteinaceous enzyme molecules via different interactions to the carrier’s matrix in a region of space such as cross-linking/embedding, generally an insoluble material that can be easily removed from the medium, using simple basic procedures such as filtration, centrifugation, self-aggregation, or sieving (Mosbach, 1976). The characteristics of immobilized enzymes are largely governed by four important factors in an enzyme immobilization process, which are the nature and type of enzyme employed, the nature of the carrier, and the immobilization conditions (Datta et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2020).
To date, enzyme immobilization techniques have been extensively researched, with more than 6,000 publications and patents over it. Enzymes including amino acylase, PGA, invertase, many lipases, proteases, amylase, and nitrilase have been immobilized and are employed for diverse commercial processes (Heinen et al., 2017; Almeida et al., 2018; Facchini et al., 2018; Monteiro et al., 2019). Although the primary techniques of enzyme immobilization may be classified into some special techniques only, yet covalent bonding, adsorption, entrapment, encapsulation, and cross-linking are all examples of modifications that have been produced in the past, largely based on combinations of authentic techniques (Ahmad and Sardar, 2015). Similarly, numerous carriers of varied physical and chemical natures or occurrences have been developed for a wide range of bio-immobilization and bio-separation media. It is critical to remember that none of the existing immobilization methods can tackle the challenges that will be encountered in a certain process when building the best-suited immobilized enzyme for that process (Cao, 2011). Optimization and stabilization can be additionally carried out with the aid of a chemical change. One of the often used strategies to enhance the enzyme balance is hydrophilization of enzyme molecules through chemical change with hydrophilic practical polymers. The stabilization impact due to hydrophilization of a selected enzyme is manifested because of the creation of a positive hydrophilic microenvironment. The entrapment of the stabilized enzyme frequently results in the formation of an extra strong immobilized biocatalyst in comparison with an entrapped biocatalyst (Cao, 2005).
In the older case, the entrapped enzymes might be in addition subjected to chemical cross-linking to improve the balance or avoidance of enzyme leakage. Remarkably, a β-amylase obtained from Bacillus megaterium, immobilized in a bovine serum albumin gel matrix and covalently cross-connected depicted a 14-fold better thermostability than that of a native enzyme (Ray et al., 1994). Generally, the combination of techniques, including the pre-immobilization strategies, together with imprinting, chemical modification, cross-linking, etc., with the right immobilization method is decided as an essential immobilization technique (Cao, 2011).
When designing an immobilized enzyme for any biological process, it is far critical to take note of the truth that the selection of the immobilization techniques is very important to get the desired results (Mohamad et al., 2015). The practical method would possibly be the usage of enzyme-immobilization methods, usually divided into numerous critical steps, and discrete optimization procedures of rational designs would possibly result in the introduction of strong and functional immobilized biocatalysts. A diagrammatic representation of the different methods of enzyme immobilization is summarized in Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. Chemical and physical method(s) of immobilization and their characteristics.
Classification of Immobilized-Enzymes
Immobilized enzymes have been classified into two major groups that are given as follows:
A) Carrier-bound immobilized enzymes: These are the enzymes that are physically or chemically bound to a matrix or support (i.e., carrier).
B) Carrier-free immobilized enzymes do not need supererogatory inactive mass. Carrier-free immobilized enzymes are normally constructed on the basis of their molecular mass via chemical cross-linking (Cao, 2011).
Need for Carrier-Free Immobilized Enzymes
In the past few decades, the use of an immobilized enzyme has become a major priority in industrial processes. The use of non-toxic, biodegradable, renewal, and commercially sustainable carrier-free immobilized enzymes and their physical or chemical property to fit in with its counterpart enzyme (or biocatalyst) makes it insoluble, aids during the separation process, and their continuous reusability in industrial or commercial processes (Sheldon, 2019; Ottone et al., 2020). Thompson et al. (2019a) have defined the parameters that an immobilized enzyme must satisfy in order to be commercially viable: easier recovery, more recyclability (∼above 20 cycles), stable during the reaction process, lower cost, tolerant to harsh solvents, minimum or no leaching, maximum activity recovery (∼above 50%), and maximum loading of the enzyme. Carrier-free immobilization as a cross-linked enzyme(s) and their derivatives is one way to do this. With a wide range of enzymes, particularly carbohydrate-converting enzymes, this technology is proved to be quite successful (Contesini et al., 2013).
The selection of good carriers gives clean control over the non-catalytic units of the acquired immobilized biocatalyst. The physical and the chemical nature of the carrier such as chemical composition, hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance, pore size, and binding chemistries dictates the performance of a carrier-bound immobilized enzyme (i.e., enzyme activity and stability) and a good carrier or suitable binding chemistry for an enzyme is not necessarily the right one for other enzymes or other applications (Sheldon, 2019). Thus, the nature of the selected carrier may be taken into consideration so as to modify the biocatalyst. Correspondingly, a high-quality quantity of artificial or organic/herbal carrier matrix, with unique shapes/sizes, porous/non-porous structures, and binding functionalities are particularly designed for diverse bio-immobilization and bio-separation procedures (Cao, 2011). Regardless of accelerated expertise on carrier-based enzyme immobilization, the layout of the carrier and certain immobilized enzymes nonetheless are based largely on rigorous screening procedures.
Major Types of Carrier-Free Immobilized Enzymes
Carrier-free immobilized enzymes do not require additional inactive material or mass, that is, a carrier. At present, the following approaches have been devised for creating a carrier-free immobilized enzyme (Table 1), namely, cross-linked dissolved enzyme: CLEs; cross-linked enzyme crystals (CLECs); cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs); cross-linked enzyme lyophilizates (CLELs); and cross-linked spray-dried enzymes (CSDEs) (Wilson et al., 2004). Thus, utilizing various cross-linking precursors aids in distinguishing between different types of carrier-free immobilized enzymes.
TABLE 1. Comparison of different properties of soluble, carrier-bound immobilized, and carrier-free immobilized enzymes (Jegan Roy and Emilia Abraham, 2004; Cui et al., 2014; Voběrková et al., 2018).
The use of carriers in carrier-bound enzymes could decrease catalytic activity due to dilution of the enzyme due to the inclusion of more than 95 percent non-catalytic unit in the form of carrier (Roessl et al., 2010). For some applications, this might result in unacceptably reduced volumetric and space-time yields, as well as decreased catalyst efficiency. In contrast, carrier-free immobilized enzymes, particularly cross-linked enzyme aggregates and cross-linked enzyme crystals, perform well (DeSantis and Jones, 1999). As a result, significant research has been conducted to train these carrier-free immobilized enzymes, particularly CLEs. More than 20 different enzymes have been directly cross-connected to form many CLEs that were originally adsorbed on inert supports, including membranes cross-connected to shape supported CLEs (Cao, 2011).
Cross-linking Enzymes
A dissolved enzyme may be cross-linked to increase its thermostability; however, additional factors that may influence the stability of such biocatalysts include the amount of cross-linker, temperature, ionic strength, pH, and the amount of dissolved enzyme used (Taylor, 1985).
Despite many improvements, it is very difficult to optimize stronger mechanical balance via CLEs entrapment or dissolved enzyme cross-linking in a gel matrix (Manecke, 1972). The usage of greater mass glaringly decreased the volumetric interest to the extent of a service-sure immobilized enzyme. Consequently, in many biocatalytic studies, scientists switched to carrier-bound enzymes with an extensive variety of carriers. Thus, many companies particularly exploited advanced immobilization techniques (Mosbach, 1971), and numerous reactions for binding enzymes to carriers were established (Cui and Jia, 2015).
Cross-linking Enzymes Crystals
The remarkable discovery that is cross-linking of enzyme crystals of dissolved enzymes with a bifunctional chemical cross-linker, such as glutaraldehyde, could result in the formation of what we now refer to as insoluble CLECs, which was made in the early 1960s by researchers studying solid-phase protein chemistry by synthesizing compact cross-linked crystals of carboxypeptidase A (Quiocho and Richards, 1964). Following this work, a few other enzyme crystals were made using enzymes such as ribonuclease A, lysozyme (Manecke, 1972), subtilisin (Tüchsen and Ottesen, 1977, carboxypeptidase A (Quiocho and Richards, 1966), and alcohol dehydrogenase (Lee et al., 1986).
When compared to non-immobilized equivalents and standard carrier-bound immobilized enzymes (López–Serrano et al., 2002), their excellent stability under severe temperature and wider pH range in solvents made them an appealing prospective biocatalytic tools. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that CLECs could be designed in a reasonably short time because of no requirement of highly purified enzyme (Roessl et al., 2010). It was feasible to preserve comparable activity and selectivity relative to the soluble enzyme in an aqueous medium or relative to the crude enzyme in organic solvents by selecting the correct crystal shape or size or manipulating the crystallization characteristics of medium. The activity would also be affected by the size and characteristics of the substrates, the reaction media, the kind of reaction, and the reaction circumstances (Mehta et al., 2016). The biocatalytic activity could additionally depend upon the scale and residences of the substrates, the response medium, and response conditions (Cao et al., 1999). CLECs were formulated as strong and active immobilized enzymes of a controllable size. Several CLECs, particularly hydrolases consisting of acylases, proteases, and lipase, have been continuously used for chiral biocatalysis. Other uses of CLECs are microporous substances for controlled release of protein/peptide drugs, CLEC-based biosensor, lipase therapy for cystic fibrosis or pancreatitis, etc. (Jegan Roy and Emilia Abraham, 2004).
Cross-Linking Enzyme Aggregates
CLEAs have been introduced as one of most effective carrier-free immobilized enzyme systems (Figure 2), and the major advantage of this technique is that a tedious purification step is not required (Thompson et al., 2019b). By altering their properties that affect the proximity of soluble enzyme molecules, they can be used to shape bodily aggregates that, after cross-linking, termed as CLEAs (Cao et al., 2003; Table 2). When distributed in an aqueous media, these solid aggregates are kept together by non-covalent bonding and are easily collapsed and redissolved as a result of the non-covalent bonding. In the case of physical aggregates, chemical cross-linking would result in the formation of cross-linked enzyme aggregates, in which the restructured superstructure of the aggregates and their activity would be preserved (Nadar et al., 2016; Alves et al., 2021). This can partly explain why the enzyme could not consistently be cross-linked, even when 80% of overall lysine residues were changed through glutaraldehyde (Tomimatsu et al., 1971). Interestingly, it determined that the catalytic behavior of CLEAs differs because of the presence of the precipitants. In the case of CLEAs of penicillin G acylase produced through ammonium sulfate precipitation, the biocatalyst displayed similar behavior to the local enzyme for ampicillin synthesis, while CLEAs employed the use of test-butanol as a precipitant (Ling et al., 2016).
FIGURE 2. Features of cross-linked enzyme aggregates.
TABLE 2. Various types of support systems used in CLEAs.
In most biological processes, more than one enzyme(s) are included, allowing them to maintain a high level of efficiency during metabolic and anabolic processes. In order to attain this aim during in vitro conditions, multiple-enzyme catalysis is preferred. Hence, combined cross-linked enzyme aggregates (combi-CLEAs) based on the CLEAs were designed and tested in the laboratory. Combi-CLEAs are enzyme complexes that include two or more immobilized enzymes that are capable of catalyzing sequential or simultaneous reactions in the same system (Sheldon, 2019).
Magnetic CLEA(s) of several enzymes has been synthesized by chemically cross-linking enzyme aggregates with magnetic nanoparticles, which can be isolated readily from the process mixture using a magnetic field (Sheldon, 2019). Moreover, wide-range thermostability increased buffering capacity, and varied pH has also been observed (Talekar et al., 2012).
Cross-Linked Enzyme Lyophilizates
The cross-linked enzyme lyophilizates are synthesized from freeze-dried/lyophilized enzyme preparation in presence of lyoprotectants (polymers/sugars) to minimize denaturation during the drying stages, and these lyophilizates are subjected to cross-linkers and precipitants. Organic compounds, carbohydrates, amino acids, etc. and their derivatives can be produced using CLELs through enzymatic processes such as reduction, esterification, and asymmetric conversion processes (Jegan Roy and Emilia Abraham, 2004).
Cross-Linked Spray-Dried Enzymes
Spray-dried enzyme powders are cross-linked to produce CSDEs. In addition, the fact that CSDEs are reversibly deactivated by the spray-drying process has prevented this technique from being widely used, even though it yielded respectable activity. Therefore, when compared to other carrier-free immobilization techniques, CSDEs have lower biocatalytic activity (Zicari et al., 2017).
Process Optimization of Carrier-Free Enzymes
Immobilized enzyme preparations are effective biocatalysts for commercial manufacturing processes (Table 3). The introduction of carrier-free immobilized enzymes for process optimization has tackled major drawbacks of carrier bound immobilized enzymes by reducing the use of expensive carriers and increased catalytic mass with increased yield and reduced costs in the scale-up process (Cao et al., 2003). It is possible to achieve increased thermostability by cross-linking the dissolved enzyme (CLEs), but this needed a precise balance between numerous elements, including the quantity of cross-linkers used, temperature, pH, and ionic strength of the solution. Furthermore, intermolecular cross-linking of these highly solvated enzyme molecules often resulted in a number of undesirable side effects, including decreased activity retention, poor repeatability, and limited mechanical stability.
TABLE 3. Commercial uses of carrier free enzymes.
Cross-linked enzyme crystals (CLECs) were introduced by Quiocho and Richards (1964). When compared to CLEs, it was discovered that CLECs demonstrated improved thermostability, pH, more tolerance to organic solvents, and mechanical forces and showed higher retained activity. But one major drawback to CLECs was the requirement of high purified enzymes and their crystallization, which makes this process costlier. This limitation was overcome by a more promising, commercially utilized technique, that is, CLEAs (Sheldon, 2011). It is synthesized in two different phases: The initial step includes enzyme aggregation by precipitants using methods such as salting out with ammonium sulfate, organic solvents, isoelectric precipitation by TCA, using polyethylenimine, etc. which is then followed by the establishment of chemical linkages between the enzymes via cross-linking agents such as glutaraldehyde to further strengthen the interactions. The aggregation of proteins is exploited by rapid change of their hydration state by the addition of precipitants in the solvent solution. The development of precipitated enzyme aggregates is a necessary step in the preservation of enzyme activity during cross-linking (Arana-Peña et al., 2021). It has been observed that the catalytic activity of CLEAs varies based on the characteristics of the precipitants used in aggregation. In addition, spray drying is a reasonably affordable and readily scaled-up approach that is repeatable, making it a useful method of encapsulation technologies in industrial processes (Cui and Jia, 2015). At present, CSDEs have limited use in the industrial process but are still a robust and emerging technique. The objective is to provide a highly adaptable technological platform for screening and building strong carrier-free enzymes for a wide range of commercial applications.
Future Prospectus
In summary, the carrier-free immobilized enzyme technology has gained interest among researchers and engineers due to its commercial applicability in industrial processes. Many variants of cross-linked enzymes have proven their multiple applications, such as biotransformation processes, water treatment, antibiotic production, food processing, and several other potential applications. Another advantage in commercial use is their primary preference to replace toxic compounds in future chemical industries with more ecofriendly biocatalytic enzymes. Combi-CLEAs and magnetic CLEAs have proven to be more convenient in future production processes due to the presence of multiple catalysts in individual aggregates and easier separation.
Conclusion
Although the selected approach of immobilization may differ from enzyme to enzyme, carrier to carrier, and for a different application, primarily relying upon the peculiarities of every unique process, standards for measuring immobilized enzyme’s robustness remain the same. Commercially applied immobilized enzymes need to be relatively active, relatively selective (to lessen cross-reactions), relatively stable (to lessen value via way of means of efficient reuse), value-intensive (low-value contribution therefore economically viable), secure to use (to satisfy protection regulations), and definitely innovative. The productiveness of almost every immobilized enzyme is relatively lower than that of chemical processes. Due to diffusion constraints, activity retention for porous carriers is regularly underneath 50% at most enzyme loading in a biocatalytic reaction system. Although improvement of carrier-free enzymes, including CLEA or CLEC, can put off the use of the non-catalytic mass provider, the intrinsic drawbacks related to the carrier-free immobilized enzymes. The carrier-free biocatalytic systems appear to be greatly appealing as no scaffold/matrix is required, no matrix modification or activation is needed, little leaching effect is seen, and the complete absence of aldehyde cross-linking chemicals of the benefits of such biocatalytic systems. With the progressive research in the field, the future seems to be bright in creating advanced techniques to immobilize different enzymes, which would result in enhancing the efficiency of the enzyme by many folds.
