Polymer Membrane with Glycosylated Surface by a Chemo-Enzymatic Strategy for Protein Affinity Adsorption

Membranes with glycosylated surfaces are naturally biomimetic and not only have excellent surface hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, but have a specific recognition to target biomacromolecules due to the unique chemo-biological properties of their surface carbohydrates; however, they cannot be eas...

description Membranes with glycosylated surfaces are naturally biomimetic and not only have excellent surface hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, but have a specific recognition to target biomacromolecules due to the unique chemo-biological properties of their surface carbohydrates; however, they cannot be easily chemically produced on large scales due to the complex preparation process. This manuscript describes the fabrication of a polypropylene membrane with a glycosylated surface by a chemo-enzymatic strategy. First, hydroxyl (OH) groups were introduced onto the surface of microporous polypropylene membrane (MPPM) by UV-induced grafting polymerization of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA). Then, glycosylation of the OH groups with galactose moieties was achieved via an enzymatic transglycosylation by β-galactosidase (Gal) recombinanted from <i>E. coli</i>. The fabricated glycosylated membrane showed surprisingly specific affinity adsorption to lectin <i>ricinus communis agglutinin</i> (RCA<sub>120</sub>). The chemo-enzymatic route is easy and green, and it would be expected to have wide applications for large-scale preparation of polymer membranes with glycosylated surfaces.
