Summary for Patent: 4,268,423
Title: | Support matrices for immobilized enzymes |
Abstract: | An improved method of preparing support matrices for immobilization of reactive chemical entities, such as enzymes, comprises deposition of a polyamine on a core support, such as an inorganic oxide, contacting the polyamine-coated core support with a bifunctional reagent which cross-links the polyamine and provides pendant functional groups, and recovering the matrix, wherein the improvement comprises deposition of the polyamine as a thin, uniform film from solvents of low surface tension. |

Application Number: | 06/095,019 |
Patent Claims: | 1. A method of preparing a support matrix useful for immobilization of an enzymatic material which comprises depositing a polyamine to an inorganic oxide support via a
solution containing at least 5% by weight of polyamine per weight of said support wherein said addition of said polyamine is performed in the presence of an aqueous solution of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of cationic and nonionic
surfactants having a surface tension of less than 30 dynes per centimeter to produce a polyamine coated-support, removing excess polyamine from said support, and contacting said polyamine-coated support with a solution containing an excess of a
bifunctional monomeric material to provide a cross-linkage of said bifunctional monomer with said polyamine of said polyamine-coated support to produce said support matrix.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the support matrix is comprised of an inorganic oxide support to which is attached a polyamine binding layer, a pendant functional group anchored at the non-functional end to said binding layer, and wherein said functional group is capable of covalently bonding to enzymes. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein said inorganic oxide support is selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, glass and a ceramic material. 4. The method of claim 2 wherein said polyamine binding layer is selected from the group consisting of cross-linked polyamines and cross-linked aminopolystyrenes. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein said polyamine binding layer is selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneimine, tetraethylenepentamine, ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, pentaethylenehexamine, hexamethylenediamine, and phenylenediamine, and said bifunctional monomeric cross-linking agent is selected from the group consisting of glutaraldehyde, succindialdehyde, and toluenediisocyanate. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein said surfactant having a surface tension less than about 30 dynes per centimeter is an organic solvent. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein said enzyme is selected from the group consisting of glucose isomerase, glucoamylase, cholesteroloxidase, alcohol dehydrogenase, amino acid oxidase, arginase, asparaginase, catalase, chymotrypsin, cellulase, collagenase, deoxyribonuclease, ficin, histidase, lactase, peroxidase, lysozyme, gamma amylase, papain, rennin, ribonuclease and urease. |
