The surface of magnetite nanoparticles which have been prepared by coprecipitation method was modified by carboxylic acid group of poly(3-thiophenacetic acid (3TA)). Then the egg white lysozyme was immobilized on the carboxylic acid group of the modification of the magnetite nanoparticles. Lysozyme immobilizing efficiency increased with increasing concentration of 3TA. And the functionalized magnetite particles had higher enzymatic capacity than non-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
