Carbonic anhydrase (CA) was previously proposed as a green alternative for biomineralization of carbon dioxide (CO2). However, enzyme's fragile nature when in synthetic environment significantly limits such industrial application. Herein, we hypothesized that CA immobilization onto flexible and hydrated bridges that ensure proton-transfer at their interfaces leads to improved activity and kinetic behavior and potentially increases enzyme's feasibility for industrial implementation. Our hypothesis was formulated considering that water plays a key role in the CO2 hydration process and acts as both the reactant as well as the rate-limiting step of the CO2 capture and transformation process. To demonstrate our hypothesis, two types of user-synthesized organic metallic frameworks [metal organic frameworks (MOFs), one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic] were considered as model supports and their surface characteristics (i.e., charge, shape, curvature, size, etc.) and influence on the immobilized enzyme's behavior were evaluated. Morphology, crystallinity and particle size, and surface area of the model supports were determined by scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements, respectively. Enzyme activity, kinetics, and stability at the supports interfaces were determined using spectroscopical analyses. Analysis showed that enzyme functionality is dependent on the support used in the immobilization process, with the enzyme immobilized onto the hydrophilic support retaining 72% activity of the free CA, when compared with that immobilized onto the hydrophobic one that only retained about 28% activity. Both CA MOF conjugates showed good storage stability relative to the free enzyme in solution, with CA immobilized at the hydrophilic support also revealing increased thermal stability and retention of almost all original enzyme activity even after heating treatment at 70 degrees C. In contrast, free CA lost almost half of its original activity when subject to the same conditions. This present work suggests that MOFs tunable hydration conditions allow high enzyme activity and stability retention. Such results are expected to impact CO2 storage and transformation strategies based on CA and potentially increase user-integration of enzyme-based green technologies in mitigating global warming.
