Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an essential metalloenzyme in living systems for accelerating the hydration and dehydration of carbon dioxide. CA-catalyzed reactions can be applied in vitro for capturing industrially emitted gaseous carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions. To facilitate this type of practical application, the immobilization of CA on or inside solid or soft support materials is of great importance because the immobilization of enzymes in general offers the opportunity for enzyme recycling or long-term use in bioreactors. Moreover, the thermal/storage stability and reactivity of immobilized CA can be modulated through the physicochemical nature and structural characteristics of the support material used. This review focuses on (i) immobilization methods which have been applied so far, (ii) some of the characteristic features of immobilized forms of CA, and (iii) biotechnological applications of immobilized CA. The applications described not only include the CA-assisted capturing and sequestration of carbon dioxide, but also the CA-supported bioelectrochemical conversion of CO2 into organic molecules, and the detection of clinically important CA inhibitors. Furthermore, immobilized CA can be used in biomimetic materials synthesis involving cascade reactions, e.g. for bone regeneration based on calcium carbonate formation from urea with two consecutive reactions catalyzed by urease and CA.
