This study demonstrates the potential of biotinylated gelatin methacryloyl in the preparation of hydrogel foams and the successful control of substrate conversion rate by altering the hydrogel morphology.
Hydrogel foams provide an aqueous environment that is very attractive for the immobilization of enzymes. To this end, functional polymers are needed that can be converted into hydrogel foams and that enable bioconjugation while maintaining high enzyme activity. The present study demonstrates the potential of biotinylated gelatin methacryloyl (GM10EB) for this purpose. GM10EB is synthesized in a two-step procedure with gelatin methacryloyl (GM10) being the starting point. Successful biotinylation is confirmed by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and 4'-hydroxyazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid/avidin assays. Most importantly, a high methacryloyl group content (DM) is maintained in GM10EB, so that solutions of GM10EB show both a sufficiently low viscosity for microfluidic foaming and a pronounced curing behavior. Thus, foamed and nonfoamed GM10EB hydrogels can be prepared via radical crosslinking of the polymer chains. Within both sample types, biotin groups are available for bioconjugation, as is demonstrated by coupling streptavidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase to the hydrogels. When assessing the substrate conversion rate r(A) in foamed hydrogels by enzymatic conversion of 2,2 '-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), a value for r(A) 12 times higher than the value for nonfoamed hydrogels of the same mass is observed. In other words, r(A) can be successfully tailored by the hydrogel morphology.
