"We made prelimilary progress in the study of CO2 capture by establishing a mutated carbonic anhydrase last year, and found that the stability and enzyme activity of the mutated carbonic anhydrase were significantly increased, but no further research and development was carried out. This year, on the basis of last year, we will modify the mutated carbonic anhydrase gene to obtain genetically engineered expression bacteria that express the carbonic anhydrase with aldehyde on the protein surface under the reaction of formylglycine-generating enzyme, which in turn binds to the amino group of the immobilized carrier. The immobilization of carbonic anhydrase is realized to improve its stability, facilitate its repeated use, and achieve industrial application."
— ABOUT OUR PROJECT —
Project Inspiration
In recent years, the application of carbonic anhydrase in CO2 capture has attracted widespread attention and has become an efficient and environmentally friendly strategy.
Carbonic Anhydrase
Carbonic Anhydrase is a zinc-containing metalloenzyme. When the Zn2+ ion abstracts a proton from a surrounding water molecule, creating a hydroxide ion that is negatively charged and can attack the partially positive carbon atom on a solubilised CO2 molecule to form a HCO3- ion, the hydration of CO2 occurs.
The Enzyme Fixed
Formylglycine generating can selectively recognize and oxidize the cysteine residues in the sulfatase subunit of the protein terminal to form formylglycine (FGly) residues containing aldehyde groups.
