A simple, one-step method for covalent bond immobilization of biomolecules on silica operated in water is described. In the approach, an NHS-ester linked methallylsilane is utilized as a bifunctional linker to couple the biomolecule to the silica surface. Weak organic acid such as acetic acid activates the silica surface enough to react with bifunctional linker without destroying activity of biomolecule.

Herein, we report an efficient enantioselective cleavage of the acyl- moiety of a set of α- phenyl ethyl esters with different chain-lengths catalyzed by lipase B from Candida antarctica (CAL-B) by comparing two reactional approaches: anhydrous media with sodium carbonates and micro-aqueous medium. The deacylation is performed in organic solvent, in the presence of Na2CO3 in the first case, and by addition of a drop of phosphate buffer solution pH 7 in the second. The results show the high efficiency of the deacylation in the presence of the sodium carbonate for the enzymatic resolution of all the esters and that in term of reactivity (31% ≤ conv ≤ 50%) and selectivity (E > 200). While, during the hydrolysis in micro-aqueous media, the conversion is strongly affected by the length of the acyl-chain side, the conversion decreases from conv = 50% with the 1-phenylethyl acetate 1a to conv = 19% with 1-phenyethyl dodecanoate 6a, and this, even if the selectivity remains high (E > 89). In both conditions, the lipase CAL-B shows a high enantioselectivities in favor of (R)-1-phenyl ethanol enantiomer (conv > 45%, E > 200) but the reactivity is modulated by the form and the size of the acyl-chain side.

Hydroxyapatite, which is a major component of the bone system in the human body, is an attractive material for bio-applications because it is nontoxic as well as biocompatible. In addition, many proteins are readily adsorbed on the surface of hydroxyapatite. The protein adsorption properties of hydroxyapatite have been employed for many bio-applications such as protein purification and nanomedical application. Nevertheless, the applications are not appropriate for proteins possessing hydrophobic surfaces because the surface of hydroxyapatite is charged. For applications with hydrophobic proteins, a covalent conjugation would be an alternative approach instead of physical adsorption. However, only a few examples of the covalent conjugation of proteins onto the surface of hydroxyapatite have been reported due to the lack of a convenient method for covalent conjugation. Herein, we report a facile process for the covalent conjugation of proteins on hydroxyapatite. We have successfully activated the surface of hydroxyapatite by a simple treatment with a peptide coupling reagent (for instance, N,N′-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide, or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide). Then, we directly conjugated enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a model protein, and the conjugation was confirmed by a fluorescent microscope. We also employed the method for a hydrophobic surface protein, lipase. In this case, we found that a linker compound is required for the conjugation of lipase because of the distinct polarities of the surfaces of hydroxyapatite and lipase. The conjugated lipase on hydroxyapatite exhibited higher activity in organic solvents than the free form of lipase by a factor of up to 30 and can be recycled without a significant loss of the activity.
