Coordinating unsaturated metal sites (CUS) on the surface
of metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) could be used to adsorb His-tagged proteins. The
specific adsorption between CUS and His-tagged proteins could reduce
preparation steps, shorten preparation time, and could also avoid
the binding between the metal ion of metalloenzyme active center and
the chelating agent to ensure the enzyme activity. In this study,
MIL-88A was synthesized by hydrothermal method and used to purify
and immobilize His-tagged organophosphohydrolase (OpdA) in one step
for organophosphate bioremediation. Under optimized conditions, OpdA@MIL-88A
had a maximal activity of 1554 U/gprotein, which was nearly
5 times higher than free OpdA. Compared with free OpdA, OpdA@MIL-88A
exhibited improved organic solvent tolerance, SDS tolerance, thermal
stability, and storage stability. OpdA@MIL-88A was used to degrade
organophosphorus pesticides on grapes and cucumbers. After reuse 6
times, OpdA@MIL-88A retained more than 66% and 61% of the initial
activity, respectively. Therefore, this proposed strategy provided
a facile and effective method for degradation of organophosphorus
pesticides.
