Soybean lipoxygenase was immobilized on nanoporous rice husk silica particles by adsorption, and enzymatic parameters of the immobilized protein, including the efficiency of substrate binding and catalysis, kinetic and operational stability, and the kinetics of thermal inactivation, were investigated. The maximal adsorption efficiency of soybean lipoxygenase to the silica particles was 50%. The desorption kinetics of soybean lipoxygenase from the silica particles indicate that the silica-immobilized enzyme is more stable in an anionic buffer (sodium phosphate, pH 7.2) than in a cationic buffer (Tris-HCl, pH 7.2). The specific activity of immobilized lipoxygenase was 73% of the specific activity of soluble soybean lipoxygenase at a high concentration of substrate. The catalytic efficiency (k_cat/K_m) and the Michaelis–Menten constant (K_m) of immobilized lipoxygenase were 21% and 49% of k_cat/K_m and K_m of soluble soybean lipoxygenase, respectively, at a low concentration of substrate. The immobilized soybean lipoxygenase was relatively stable, as the enzyme specific activity was >90% of the initial activity after four assay cycles. The thermal stability of the immobilized lipoxygenase was higher than the thermal stability of soluble lipoxygenase, demonstrating 70% and 45% of its optimal specific activity, respectively, after incubation for 30 min at 45 °C. These results demonstrate that adsorption on nanoporous rice husk silica is a simple and rapid method for protein immobilization, and that adsorption may be a useful and facile method for the immobilization of many biologically important proteins of interest.
