RESUMO

Abstract Enzyme engineering via immobilization techniques is a suitable approach for improving enzyme function and stability and is superior to the other chemical or biological methods. In this study chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized using the Ionic Gelation method and were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Alkaline phosphatase was successfully immobilized on the chitosan nanoparticles in optimum conditions. Chitosan nanoparticles were used because of their special properties for enzyme immobilization. This study indicated that the immobilized enzyme has improved function at high temperature and during storage. Immobilization resulted in an increased range of optimum pH and temperature, and reusability of enzyme. Furthermore, the binding efficiency calculation indicated that the immobilized alkaline phosphatase conserved 71% of its native activity. Kinetic parameter studies indicated no significant difference between the immobilized and free enzymes.
