Cross-linked tyrosinase aggregates were prepared by precipitating the enzyme with ammonium sulfate and subsequent cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. Both activity and stability of these cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) in aqueous solution, organic solvents, and ionic liquids have been investigated. Immobilization effectively improved the stability of the enzymein aqueous solution against various deactivating conditions such as pH, temperature, denaturants, inhibitors, and organic solvents. The stability of the CLEAs in various organic solvents such as tert-butanol (t(1/2) = 326.7 h at 40 degrees C) was significantly enhanced relative to that in aqueous solution (t(1/2) = 5.5 h). The effect of thermodynamic water activity (a(w)) on the CLEA activity in organic media was examined, demonstrating that the enzyme incorporated into CLEAs required an extensive hydration (with an aw approaching 1.0) for optimizing its activity. The impact of ionic liquids on the CLEA activity in aqueous solution was also assessed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
