Characteristics of LiP and MnP • Lignin Peroxidase (LiP) and Manganese Peroxidase (MnP) are isolated from Phanerochaete chrysosporium (Prof. Tien, Penn State). • LiP: Molecular Weight ~42,000, PI ~3.5 – 4.0 • MnP: Molecular Weight ~45,000, PI ~4.5 • Oxidize aromatic substrates of higher redox potential – a distinct feature

Why Do Immobilization of Enzymes? • Stabilize the enzyme… • Bioreactors • Oxidize Aromatic Pollutants • Bioremediation
Enzyme Immobilization Procedure • Electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged species. • Polyelectrolytes: • Poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (PDDA) – PI ~13 • Poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) – PI ~11 • Poly(allylamine) (PAH) – PI ~ 8 • Poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) – PI ~2 • Enzymes: • Lignin Peroxidase (LiP) – PI ~3.5 • Manganese Peroxidase (MnP) – PI ~4.5 • LbL assembly carried out at pH 6.0 (Acetate Buffer).
