Generally, enzyme immobilization on nanoparticles leads to nano-conjugates presenting partially preserved, or even absent, biological properties. Notwithstanding, recent research demonstrated that the coupling to nanomaterials can improve the activity of immobilized enzymes. Herein, xanthine oxidase (XO) was immobilized by self-assembly on peculiar naked iron oxide nanoparticles (surface active maghemite nanoparticles, SAMNs). The catalytic activity of the nanostructured conjugate (SAMN@XO) was assessed by optical spectroscopy and compared to the parent enzyme. SAMN@XO revealed improved catalytic features with respect to the parent enzyme and was applied for the electrochemical studies of xanthine. The present example supports the nascent knowledge concerning protein conjugation to nanoparticle as a means for the modulation of biological activity.

Objective: Many methods for enzymes immobilization and large number of carriers for immobilized enzymes, there are many benefits and diffeculties for immobilization, so the objective of this paper is to determine the suitable method and carrier for cellulase immobilization.Methods: Three methods used for immobilization which they adsorption, Glutaraldehyde and modified glutaraldehyde using two different carriers the first anion exchanger AM-21-A, and the second cation exchange fiber VION KN -1.Results: The result shows that the degree of saving catalytic activity for immobilized and free cellulase were 35, 55, and 75% for the three methods respectively and The result of degree maintain of specific activity for native enzyme were 57%, 42%, for the two carriers VION KN-1, AM-21-A respectively.Conclusions: It can be concluded that the modified glutaraldehyde is the best method for cellulase immobilization and VION KN-1 is better carrier than AM-21-A.

Rare-earth phosphates are of particular interest because of their catalytic properties associated with the hydrolysis of many aromatic chlorides in the petroleum industry. Lanthanum phosphates (LaPO4) which have been doped with small amounts of copper have shown increased catalytic activity (1). However the physical and chemical characteristics of the samples leading to good catalytic activity are not known.Many catalysts are amorphous and thus do not easily lend themselves to methods of investigation which would include electron microscopy. However, the LaPO4, crystals are quite suitable samples for high resolution techniques.The samples used were obtained from William L. Kehl of Gulf Research and Development Company. The electron microscopy was carried out on a JEOL JEM-100B which had been modified for high resolution microscopy (2). Standard high resolution techniques were employed. Three different sample types were observed: 669A-1-5-7 (poor catalyst), H-L-2 (good catalyst) and 27-011 (good catalyst).

The catalytic activity decreases as –(SiO)3Mo(OH)(O) > –(SiO)2Mo(O)2 > –(O)4–MoO.
