| Abstract | The characterization and activity of invertase enzymes immobilized on large pore micelle templated silica (LP-MTS) hybrid materials is reported. The LP-MTS hybrid materials were prepared by a co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AMPTS) in a cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) template. A commercially available dodecylamine template was also used to afford similar materials, hereinafter abbreviated as DDA-MTS, for comparison purposes. The prepared materials were characterized by different techniques to determine their physicochemical properties. The maximum loading for the amine groups in LP-MTS and DDA-MTS were 3.3 and 2.8 mmol g−1, respectively. Modification of the materials for immobilization of the invertase enzyme was done by reacting them with glutaraldehyde resulting in Glu-LP-MTS or Glu-DDA-MTS. The as-prepared hybrid materials have surface areas ranging from 100 to 214 m2 g−1 with pore diameters ranging from 3.1 to 25 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that LP-MTS and DDA-MTS materials comprise of roughly spherical particles whereas enzyme and glutaraldehyde supported micelle templated silicas show a rupture of the spherical particles to a fine powder. The activities of free and immobilized invertases have been determined by measuring the amount of reducing sugar produced upon hydrolysis of sucrose at different temperatures, pH and substrate concentrations. Both free and immobilized invertase enzymes showed a maximum activity at a particular optimum temperature, pH and substrate concentration. The maximum activity for the free invertase was 15 229 U at pH 5.0 and at 40 °C whereas those of the LP-MTS immobilized invertases were 14 833 U and 14 625 U for covalent and cross-linked invertases, respectively, at pH 4.0 and 40 °C. The maximum activity for DDA-MTS covalently immobilized invertase was 4750 U, at pH 4.0 and 40 °C. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
