Immobilized hydroxynitrile lyases for enantioselective synthesis of cyanohydrins: Sol-gels and cross-linked enzyme aggregates

The hydroxynitrile lyases (HNLs) from Prunus amygdalus (paHNL), Manihot esculenta (MeHNL), and Hevea brasiliensis (HbHNL) were successfully immobilized in sol-gels. The cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) of HbHNL was also prepared. These immobilized enzymes and the commercial PaHNL- and MeHNL-CLEAs were employed for the enantioselective synthesis of cyanohydrins. The sol-gels were highly efficient at low catalyst loading and particularly stable towards the organic solvent (diisopropyl ether) and substrate/product deactivation. The stabilization effect was inconsistent for CLEAs of different HNLs and significant deactivation of PaHNL- and HbHNL-CLEAs in diisopropyl ether was observed. In contrast commercial MeHNL-CLEA proved to be a remarkably robust and efficient biocatalyst in diisopropyl ether.
