Abstract
The lipase coupled silica colloid was prepared in the presence of PEG/oligocation block copolymers. The both dispersion and thermal stability of the lipase-silica colloid modified with PEG/oligocation were improved significantly. Actually, the initial enzymatic activity was retained after 5-fold treatments at 58°C for 10 min., though the native free lipase loosed its activity almost completely after only the once thermal treatment. In addition, the lyophilized complex was resolubilized easily in aqueous media, retaining its activity. PEG tethered chains on the lipase-adsorbed silica colloid may play an important role for the stable complex. Such the stable complex is promising for biomedical materials.
