Immobilization with CPC silica beads
- CPC-(controlled pore carrier) Silica beads, aminopropyl derivate (2-aminopropyl-triethosysilane), pore size: 500 A, 30-45 mesh
Immobilization of 1mL protein solution on 0,12g CPC-silica beads
- Immerse beads in 1 mL 2.5% glutaraldehyde under light vacuum for 2 hours.
- Wash beads (2 times with 1 ml) with Britton-Robinson-buffer (pH 5).
- Immerse in stock laccase solution (i.e., 1 mg of laccase in 1 mL of buffer prepared the same day) for at least 24 hours at 4° C.
- Wash the beads with buffer again (2 times with 1 mL).
- Add 1 mL 0.5M sodium chloride.
- wash with buffer again
- Immerse in 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL glycine for at least 18 hours at 4° C.
- Wash first with buffer, then winth 0.5 M sodium chloride then buffer again, and finally stored in buffer at 4° C until use.
All reagents used in the immobilization process were made in Britton-Robinson-buffer.
Britton-Robinson-buffer
- 0.1 M acetic acid
- 0.1 M boric acid
- 0.1 M phosphoric acid
adjusted to the desired pH by addition of 1 N sodium hydroxide
