Abstract

Glutathione S-transferase is known to play a crucial role in detoxification in many cases. To develop a herbicide detection biosensor, we in this study attempted to immobilize glutathione S-transferase enzyme on solid supports, polystyrene and agarose, and Na-alginate. These matrixes were attractive materials for the construction of biosensors and might also have utility for the production of immobilized enzyme bioreactors. We also compared the activities of glutathione-S-transferase immobilized OsGSTF3 and free OsGSTF3. The specific activity of the free enzyme in solution was 3.3 higher than the immobilized enzyme. These results suggest that 50% of the enzyme was bound with the catalytic site in polystyrene-alkylamine bead and immobilized enzymes showed 80% remaining activity until 3 times reuse.
