1 Introduction

In recent years collagen hydrolysate and polypeptide havebeen widely used in biology medicine food cosmetics andso on whose function has been increasingly recognized andhighly valued because of the continuous study of thestructure and properties of collagen [1ndash3] At present en-zyme technology is considered to be the most ecentective wayto hydrolyze collagen [4 5] Collagenase which can beproduced by many tissues and cells of various microor-ganisms and animals especially under pathological condi-tions is a kind of enzyme that specically degrades thecollagen helix or gelatin without acting on other proteins [6]A large amount of collagenase can be obtained by microbialfermentation as compared to the low yield extracted from

the animal or sh viscera which is thought to be an ecentectiveway to solve the growing industrial application demand[7 8] Bacillus subtilis is a traditional high-yield strain forproducing alkaline protease and the enzyme has become ahot spot in protease research for the characteristics of hightemperature alkali resistance etc [9 10] No matter whatthe source of the enzyme is generally speaking the crudeenzyme is obtained at the beginning A series of separationand purication methods are needed to get pure enzymes

Immobilized enzyme technology is an ecentective way toovercome deciencies of the free enzyme which can im-prove the stability and recycling of the enzyme save the use-cost of the enzyme and improve the feasibility of the ap-plication of the enzyme in scale [11] As a new carrier of theimmobilized enzyme nanomaterials have the characteristics

of minor pore size large specific surface area large surfacebinding energy and easy integration with the enzymesteadily which can effectively improve the enzyme load andthe stability of enzymes [12] In recent years polystyrene hasbeen not only widely used in light industry daily decorationlighting indication fields and so on but also applied as a newcarrier to enzyme immobilization technology [13 14]

When the team worked with a local tilapia collagenpeptide producer to study how to reduce the productioncost we decided to use immobilized enzyme technology tosave the cost of the enzyme We found that sulfonatedpolystyrene (SPS) nanospheres are a good immobilizedmaterial with simple processing low cost good corrosionresistance small pore size large specific surface area andgood biocompatibility [15] but also there are few studies onSPS nanospheres at present and especially their applicationin food industry is very rare -erefore we chose SPSnanoparticles as a carrier and carried out some relatedcharacterization works It is a new attempt which canprovide more basic data for further study of the enzymeimmobilization

2 Materials and Methods

-e amino acid sequence of the protein was analyzed bythe Related Structures (Summary) function in NCBI andthe result showed that the protease molecule of Bacillussubtilismainly contained a functional domain As shown inFigure 5 the active sites of the enzyme are in the domain of133thndash325th amino acids -e specific active sites are the137th 168th 211th 230th 259th and 325th amino acids -esites with catalytic activity are the 137th 168th and 325thamino acids

Using c3whiA as the template SWISS-MODEL (httpswissmodelexpasyore) was used to predict the tertiarystructure of the enzyme and we found that the range of theresidues of the enzyme molecule was from the 36th to the379th amino acid -e simulated structure diagram is shownin Figure 6 and the performance is displayed in differentcolors in the structure with N-terminals above and C-ter-minals below Figure 6(b) is a structure diagram based onhydrophilic labeling showing that most of the proteinmolecules are hydrophilic fragments and only a few arehydrophobic fragments Figures 6(c) and 6(d) show that thepositive charge of the protease residue is more than thenegative charge mainly on the surface according to thecharge-marked structure diagram

33 Conditions for Immobilization of CollagenHydrolase ontoSulfonated Polystyrene Nanospheres

331 Single-Factor Experimental Result Analysis -e in-fluence of the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier tothe enzyme time temperature and pH on immobilization isshown in Figure 8 It can be seen from Figure 8(a) thatunder the condition of a certain amount of collagenase theimmobilization ratio of the enzyme increases with the im-provement of the amount of the SPS nanosphere but thespecific activity of the immobilized enzyme is continuouslydecreased When the ratio of the amount of the SPS to thequantity of the emulsion reaches 5 50 the immobilizationratio is largest and basically stable and the maximum valueis 9730 which indicates that when the volume of SPSemulsion is 10 of the collagenase volume the SPS nano-spheres can adsorb collagenase to the greatest extent Whenthe ratio reaches 2 50 the specific activity is largesthowever when the ratio reaches 7 50 the specific activity issmallest -is may be due to the influence of SPS on theactivity of collagenase Considering comprehensively it isadvisable to determine the effect of volume ratio of 4 50

It can be seen from Figure 8(b) that the change of theimmobilization ratio is very weak all up to 97 in 2min to10min but the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreasesslightly When immobilized for 6min the immobilizationratio reaches the maximum which is 9776 Whenimmobilized for 4min the specific activity is the highestand after 8min the specific activity decreases significantly-ese indicate that the SPS has a strong adsorption capacityfor collagenase and can quickly complete the immobilizationprocess So 8min can be chosen as the best immobilizationtime

It can be seen from Figure 8(c) that the immobilizationratio changes little with the increase of temperature whilethe specific activity is greatly influenced When the tem-perature is 25degC the immobilization ratio is the highest andwhen the temperature is between 15 and 25degC the loss ofspecific activity is less but the specific activity decreasessignificantly when the temperature continues to rise whichmay be because the high-temperature environment willdestroy the active site of the enzyme resulting in a decreasein specific activity -erefore 25degC can be determined as thebest immobilization temperature

It can be seen from Figure 8(d) that the system pH hasgreat influence on the immobilization ratio and specificactivity With the increase of pH the immobilization ratiodecreases while the specific activity increases first and thendecreases When the pH is 32 the immobilization ratioreaches 9625 and the specific activity decreases to theminimum and when the pH is 56 the immobilization ratiodecreases to the minimum but the specific activity reachesthe maximum which may be due to the decreased activity of

the alkaline protease in a peracid environment -ereforepH 40 is considered to be an appropriate condition

332 Orthogonal Experimental Result Analysis According tothe single-factor experimental results considering the im-mobilization time has little effect on immobilization taking8min as the best immobilization time the L9(3)3 orthogonaloptimization experiment is carried out by selecting threefactors (the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier to theenzyme immobilization temperature and pH) from foursingle factors -e orthogonal experimental results are

shown in Table 2 and the variance analysis is shown inTable 3

According to the orthogonal experimental results andvariance analysis if the immobilization ratio is used as theevaluation index the optimal process combination isA3B1C1 -e influence degree of each factor on the im-mobilization ratio is as follows pHgt volume ratio of theimmobilization carrier to the enzymegt immobilizationtemperature in which the pH and the volume ratio of thematerial and enzyme liquid are extremely significantHowever if the specific activity of the immobilized enzymeis used as the evaluation index the best combination is

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

of minor pore size large specific surface area large surfacebinding energy and easy integration with the enzymesteadily which can effectively improve the enzyme load andthe stability of enzymes [12] In recent years polystyrene hasbeen not only widely used in light industry daily decorationlighting indication fields and so on but also applied as a newcarrier to enzyme immobilization technology [13 14]

When the team worked with a local tilapia collagenpeptide producer to study how to reduce the productioncost we decided to use immobilized enzyme technology tosave the cost of the enzyme We found that sulfonatedpolystyrene (SPS) nanospheres are a good immobilizedmaterial with simple processing low cost good corrosionresistance small pore size large specific surface area andgood biocompatibility [15] but also there are few studies onSPS nanospheres at present and especially their applicationin food industry is very rare -erefore we chose SPSnanoparticles as a carrier and carried out some relatedcharacterization works It is a new attempt which canprovide more basic data for further study of the enzymeimmobilization

2 Materials and Methods

21 Materials and Reagents Collagen hydrolase (alkalineprotease fermented by Bacillus subtilis) and tilapia skincollagen were provided by Guangdong Baiwei Bio Ma-terial Co Ltd Maoming China All reagents were ofanalytical pure grade and purchased from the marketsuch as styrene sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) Coo-massie Brilliant Blue G-250 potassium persulfate con-centrated sulfuric acid sodium hydroxide citric acidtrichloroacetic acid (TCA) and potassium sodiumtartrate

22 Isolation and Purification of Collagen HydrolaseAmmonium sulfate precipitation is divided into twosteps the first one is to remove the impure protein (inprecipitation) and the second one is to retain the pre-cipitate to obtain the purified enzyme protein [16] -einitial enzyme solution of 25mL was extracted andprecipitated by ammonium sulfate with a saturation of20 and 40 respectively -e enzyme protein wasprecipitated by centrifugation then dialyzed many timeswith a dialysis bag with a cutoff molecular weight of8000ndash14000 Da and dehydrated by polyethylene glycol20000 [17 18] -e concentrated enzyme protein waspurified by a full-automatic polysaccharide and proteinpurification system (PS-P China) with glucan gel G-759as a column chromatography filler afterwards using10mmolL pH 55 phosphate buffer as equilibrium andelution liquid and 20 ethanol for rinsing When theelution peak began to appear the peak time was recordedand the eluted enzyme was collected (3 mLtube) -eenzyme collected repeatedly was first concentrated withpolyethylene glycol 20000 and then freeze-dried intopowder and stored hermetically at low temperature forfurther use

23 Determination of Molecular Weight and Structure Sim-ulation of the PurifiedEnzymeProtein -emolecular weightof the purified enzyme protein was determined by SDS-PAGE (1645050 US) [19]

-e amino acid sequence of the enzyme protein wasdetermined by LC-MS-MS (Q Exactive US) using the bandsseparated by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and hydrolyzedby trypsin [20 21] Liquid chromatographic column in-formation 300 μm idtimes 5mm packed with Acclaim PepMapRSLC C18 5μm 100 A nanoViper mobile phase A 01formic acid mobile phase B 01 formic acid and 80 CANflow rate 300 nLmin and analysis time of each group60min -e separated peptide entered the Q Exactive massspectrometer directly for online detection Parameters of MS1 resolution 70000 AGC target 3e6 maximum IT 40msand scan range 350 to 1800mz Parameters of MS 2 res-olution 17500 AGC target 1e5 maximum IT 60ms TopN20 and NCEstepped NCE 27 -e three-dimensionalstructure of the enzyme protein was modeled by MM FileConversion online (httpswwwproteinmodelportalorgqueryuniprot) and retrieved by Mascot Finally the blastcomparison was used on the NCBI database to analyze thehomology of the protein-e secondary structure and tertiarystructure of the enzyme protein were analyzed by Phyre2NCBI SWISS-MODEL and PyMOL

24 Preparation of Sulfonated Polystyrene -e styrene (St)was first soaked in NaOH aqueous solution (10wt) andafter 24 hours it was washed several times with distilledwater -e treated St was rotary evaporated under reducedpressure at 60degC SDS (02 g) and Na2CO3 (01 g) wereweighed and dissolved in 300mL distilled water -eresulting solution was transferred to the three-neck flask andpurged with nitrogen for 30min Subsequently 30mL oftreated St was added to the above solution under strongstirring and the solution was heated to 60degC After 30minpotassium persulfate aqueous solution (15mL 023mmolL)was introduced into it [22] -e polymerization reaction wasconducted at 75degC for 20 h After cooling to room tem-perature the product was alternately washed with 95ethanol and distilled water Afterwards the product waspurified by reduced-pressure rotary evaporation at 60degC anddried at 60degC for further use [23]

-e above polystyrene (PS) powder (10 g) was dispersedinto concentrated H2SO4 (40mL 98) by ultrasonicationAn ultrasonic cleaning tank was used for ultrasonication for20min at room temperature -e sulfonation reaction wasconducted at room temperature for 24 h -e product wasthoroughly washed with distilled water and ethanol anddried at 60degC using a vacuum oven After drying the productwas dispersed into distilled water by ultrasonication and thesulfonated polystyrene emulsion (40mgmL) was made

25 Study on Immobilization of Enzymes

251 Immobilization Method SPS nanosphere emulsionwas treated under ultrasonication for 30min and a certainamount of it was diluted 100 times with phosphate buffer

-e enzyme was diluted 20 times with phosphate buffer -ediluted enzyme solution and SPS emulsion were oscillatedand mixed in a test tube After a certain reaction time atroom temperature the reactants were separated by centri-fugation at the speed of 16000 rmin for 15min the su-pernatant was collected and stored at 4degC to determine theimmobilization ratio and the precipitate was collected andfreeze-dried to measure immobilized enzyme activity [24]

252 Optimization of Immobilized Process A single-factorexperiment was carried out and other conditions weredetermined -e effects of four factors such as the volumeratio of the immobilization carrier to the enzyme immo-bilization time temperature and pH were studied by usingimmobilization ratio and specific activity of protein as in-dicators According to the results of the single-factor testorthogonal experiments were used to optimize the immo-bilization conditions

(2) Orthogonal Test

According to the results of single-factor experi-ments three factors such as the volume ratio of theimmobilization carrier to the enzyme immobili-zation temperature and immobilization systempH were chosen for study and L9(3)3 orthogonaltests were carried out to obtain the optimal im-mobilization conditions -e factor-level table isshown in Table 1

3 Results and Discussion

31 Molecular Weight Determination of the Purified Enzyme-e result of gel electrophoresis bands is shown in Figure 1As seen in the chart the purified enzyme solution has only

one distinct single zone which indicates that the purificationmethod adopted in the experiment achieved the ideal pu-rification effect According to the relative mobility rate andstandard curve of the sample the molecular weight of en-zyme protein after separation and purification is calculatedto be 310 kDa

32 Amino Acid Sequence and Structure Simulation of Col-lagen Hydrolase Referring to documents [28 29] theprotein sequence of the purified collagen hydrolase is ob-tained after sequencing and then the mass number ofcollagen protein hydrolysate is retrieved from the Mascotdatabase to obtain several suspicious proteins After onlineblast matching a protein with 100 homology was obtainedand identified as the Bacillus subtilis protease (accessionnumber Q45299-BACLI) Its amino acid sequence asshown in Figure 2 consists of 379 amino acids with amolecular weight of 39082Da -e molecular formula of theenzyme protein is C1715H2730N472O548S11 the total numberof atoms is 5476 and the isoelectric point is 866 Accordingto the amino acid sequence the enzyme was identified asalkaline protease because the amino acid residue (Arg Lys)was 32 and the acidic amino acid residue (Asp Glu) was 29 Itis a hydrophilic protease for the total hydrophobic average(GRAVY) of minus 0030 Its aliphatic amino acid index is 8182According to the criterion of stable protein (unstableindexlt 40) it can also be judged as the stable protein as itsunstable index (II) is 1563 -e N-terminal of the enzyme isM (Met)-e content of alanine glycine valine and serine is116 113 111 and 108 respectively -e content ofcysteine is the lowest (03)

-e amino acid sequence of the protein was analyzed bythe Related Structures (Summary) function in NCBI andthe result showed that the protease molecule of Bacillussubtilismainly contained a functional domain As shown inFigure 5 the active sites of the enzyme are in the domain of133thndash325th amino acids -e specific active sites are the137th 168th 211th 230th 259th and 325th amino acids -esites with catalytic activity are the 137th 168th and 325thamino acids

Using c3whiA as the template SWISS-MODEL (httpswissmodelexpasyore) was used to predict the tertiarystructure of the enzyme and we found that the range of theresidues of the enzyme molecule was from the 36th to the379th amino acid -e simulated structure diagram is shownin Figure 6 and the performance is displayed in differentcolors in the structure with N-terminals above and C-ter-minals below Figure 6(b) is a structure diagram based onhydrophilic labeling showing that most of the proteinmolecules are hydrophilic fragments and only a few arehydrophobic fragments Figures 6(c) and 6(d) show that thepositive charge of the protease residue is more than thenegative charge mainly on the surface according to thecharge-marked structure diagram

triplet with catalytic hydrolysis of a-peptide bonds in in-ternal peptide chains composed of aspartic acid (137th) withan acidic residue histidine (168th) with an alkaline residueand serine (325th) with the nucleophilic property

33 Conditions for Immobilization of CollagenHydrolase ontoSulfonated Polystyrene Nanospheres

331 Single-Factor Experimental Result Analysis -e in-fluence of the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier tothe enzyme time temperature and pH on immobilization isshown in Figure 8 It can be seen from Figure 8(a) thatunder the condition of a certain amount of collagenase theimmobilization ratio of the enzyme increases with the im-provement of the amount of the SPS nanosphere but thespecific activity of the immobilized enzyme is continuouslydecreased When the ratio of the amount of the SPS to thequantity of the emulsion reaches 5 50 the immobilizationratio is largest and basically stable and the maximum valueis 9730 which indicates that when the volume of SPSemulsion is 10 of the collagenase volume the SPS nano-spheres can adsorb collagenase to the greatest extent Whenthe ratio reaches 2 50 the specific activity is largesthowever when the ratio reaches 7 50 the specific activity issmallest -is may be due to the influence of SPS on theactivity of collagenase Considering comprehensively it isadvisable to determine the effect of volume ratio of 4 50

It can be seen from Figure 8(b) that the change of theimmobilization ratio is very weak all up to 97 in 2min to10min but the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreasesslightly When immobilized for 6min the immobilizationratio reaches the maximum which is 9776 Whenimmobilized for 4min the specific activity is the highestand after 8min the specific activity decreases significantly-ese indicate that the SPS has a strong adsorption capacityfor collagenase and can quickly complete the immobilizationprocess So 8min can be chosen as the best immobilizationtime

It can be seen from Figure 8(c) that the immobilizationratio changes little with the increase of temperature whilethe specific activity is greatly influenced When the tem-perature is 25degC the immobilization ratio is the highest andwhen the temperature is between 15 and 25degC the loss ofspecific activity is less but the specific activity decreasessignificantly when the temperature continues to rise whichmay be because the high-temperature environment willdestroy the active site of the enzyme resulting in a decreasein specific activity -erefore 25degC can be determined as thebest immobilization temperature

It can be seen from Figure 8(d) that the system pH hasgreat influence on the immobilization ratio and specificactivity With the increase of pH the immobilization ratiodecreases while the specific activity increases first and thendecreases When the pH is 32 the immobilization ratioreaches 9625 and the specific activity decreases to theminimum and when the pH is 56 the immobilization ratiodecreases to the minimum but the specific activity reachesthe maximum which may be due to the decreased activity of

332 Orthogonal Experimental Result Analysis According tothe single-factor experimental results considering the im-mobilization time has little effect on immobilization taking8min as the best immobilization time the L9(3)3 orthogonaloptimization experiment is carried out by selecting threefactors (the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier to theenzyme immobilization temperature and pH) from foursingle factors -e orthogonal experimental results are

shown in Table 2 and the variance analysis is shown inTable 3

According to the orthogonal experimental results andvariance analysis if the immobilization ratio is used as theevaluation index the optimal process combination isA3B1C1 -e influence degree of each factor on the im-mobilization ratio is as follows pHgt volume ratio of theimmobilization carrier to the enzymegt immobilizationtemperature in which the pH and the volume ratio of thematerial and enzyme liquid are extremely significantHowever if the specific activity of the immobilized enzymeis used as the evaluation index the best combination is

-e amino acid sequence of the protein was analyzed bythe Related Structures (Summary) function in NCBI andthe result showed that the protease molecule of Bacillussubtilismainly contained a functional domain As shown inFigure 5 the active sites of the enzyme are in the domain of133thndash325th amino acids -e specific active sites are the137th 168th 211th 230th 259th and 325th amino acids -esites with catalytic activity are the 137th 168th and 325thamino acids

Using c3whiA as the template SWISS-MODEL (httpswissmodelexpasyore) was used to predict the tertiarystructure of the enzyme and we found that the range of theresidues of the enzyme molecule was from the 36th to the379th amino acid -e simulated structure diagram is shownin Figure 6 and the performance is displayed in differentcolors in the structure with N-terminals above and C-ter-minals below Figure 6(b) is a structure diagram based onhydrophilic labeling showing that most of the proteinmolecules are hydrophilic fragments and only a few arehydrophobic fragments Figures 6(c) and 6(d) show that thepositive charge of the protease residue is more than thenegative charge mainly on the surface according to thecharge-marked structure diagram

triplet with catalytic hydrolysis of a-peptide bonds in in-ternal peptide chains composed of aspartic acid (137th) withan acidic residue histidine (168th) with an alkaline residueand serine (325th) with the nucleophilic property

33 Conditions for Immobilization of CollagenHydrolase ontoSulfonated Polystyrene Nanospheres

331 Single-Factor Experimental Result Analysis -e in-fluence of the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier tothe enzyme time temperature and pH on immobilization isshown in Figure 8 It can be seen from Figure 8(a) thatunder the condition of a certain amount of collagenase theimmobilization ratio of the enzyme increases with the im-provement of the amount of the SPS nanosphere but thespecific activity of the immobilized enzyme is continuouslydecreased When the ratio of the amount of the SPS to thequantity of the emulsion reaches 5 50 the immobilizationratio is largest and basically stable and the maximum valueis 9730 which indicates that when the volume of SPSemulsion is 10 of the collagenase volume the SPS nano-spheres can adsorb collagenase to the greatest extent Whenthe ratio reaches 2 50 the specific activity is largesthowever when the ratio reaches 7 50 the specific activity issmallest -is may be due to the influence of SPS on theactivity of collagenase Considering comprehensively it isadvisable to determine the effect of volume ratio of 4 50

It can be seen from Figure 8(b) that the change of theimmobilization ratio is very weak all up to 97 in 2min to10min but the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreasesslightly When immobilized for 6min the immobilizationratio reaches the maximum which is 9776 Whenimmobilized for 4min the specific activity is the highestand after 8min the specific activity decreases significantly-ese indicate that the SPS has a strong adsorption capacityfor collagenase and can quickly complete the immobilizationprocess So 8min can be chosen as the best immobilizationtime

It can be seen from Figure 8(c) that the immobilizationratio changes little with the increase of temperature whilethe specific activity is greatly influenced When the tem-perature is 25degC the immobilization ratio is the highest andwhen the temperature is between 15 and 25degC the loss ofspecific activity is less but the specific activity decreasessignificantly when the temperature continues to rise whichmay be because the high-temperature environment willdestroy the active site of the enzyme resulting in a decreasein specific activity -erefore 25degC can be determined as thebest immobilization temperature

It can be seen from Figure 8(d) that the system pH hasgreat influence on the immobilization ratio and specificactivity With the increase of pH the immobilization ratiodecreases while the specific activity increases first and thendecreases When the pH is 32 the immobilization ratioreaches 9625 and the specific activity decreases to theminimum and when the pH is 56 the immobilization ratiodecreases to the minimum but the specific activity reachesthe maximum which may be due to the decreased activity of

332 Orthogonal Experimental Result Analysis According tothe single-factor experimental results considering the im-mobilization time has little effect on immobilization taking8min as the best immobilization time the L9(3)3 orthogonaloptimization experiment is carried out by selecting threefactors (the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier to theenzyme immobilization temperature and pH) from foursingle factors -e orthogonal experimental results are

shown in Table 2 and the variance analysis is shown inTable 3

According to the orthogonal experimental results andvariance analysis if the immobilization ratio is used as theevaluation index the optimal process combination isA3B1C1 -e influence degree of each factor on the im-mobilization ratio is as follows pHgt volume ratio of theimmobilization carrier to the enzymegt immobilizationtemperature in which the pH and the volume ratio of thematerial and enzyme liquid are extremely significantHowever if the specific activity of the immobilized enzymeis used as the evaluation index the best combination is

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

SPS nanospheres under the optimum conditionswould reduce the enzymatic activity of collagenaseAs a new immobilization carrier SPS nanospherescan immobilize collagen hydrolase effectively with asimple and easy operation process which has goodpractical application prospect and significance forlarge-scale industrial production with mildimmobilized conditions and with low cost Al-though only the conditions of the enzyme immo-bilized by SPS nanospheres have been studied inthis paper we have also systematically studied theapplication conditions and properties of immobi-lized enzymes and the results will be reported in thenear future

3 Results and Discussion

31 Molecular Weight Determination of the Purified Enzyme-e result of gel electrophoresis bands is shown in Figure 1As seen in the chart the purified enzyme solution has only

one distinct single zone which indicates that the purificationmethod adopted in the experiment achieved the ideal pu-rification effect According to the relative mobility rate andstandard curve of the sample the molecular weight of en-zyme protein after separation and purification is calculatedto be 310 kDa

32 Amino Acid Sequence and Structure Simulation of Col-lagen Hydrolase Referring to documents [28 29] theprotein sequence of the purified collagen hydrolase is ob-tained after sequencing and then the mass number ofcollagen protein hydrolysate is retrieved from the Mascotdatabase to obtain several suspicious proteins After onlineblast matching a protein with 100 homology was obtainedand identified as the Bacillus subtilis protease (accessionnumber Q45299-BACLI) Its amino acid sequence asshown in Figure 2 consists of 379 amino acids with amolecular weight of 39082Da -e molecular formula of theenzyme protein is C1715H2730N472O548S11 the total numberof atoms is 5476 and the isoelectric point is 866 Accordingto the amino acid sequence the enzyme was identified asalkaline protease because the amino acid residue (Arg Lys)was 32 and the acidic amino acid residue (Asp Glu) was 29 Itis a hydrophilic protease for the total hydrophobic average(GRAVY) of minus 0030 Its aliphatic amino acid index is 8182According to the criterion of stable protein (unstableindexlt 40) it can also be judged as the stable protein as itsunstable index (II) is 1563 -e N-terminal of the enzyme isM (Met)-e content of alanine glycine valine and serine is116 113 111 and 108 respectively -e content ofcysteine is the lowest (03)

-e amino acid sequence of the protein was analyzed bythe Related Structures (Summary) function in NCBI andthe result showed that the protease molecule of Bacillussubtilismainly contained a functional domain As shown inFigure 5 the active sites of the enzyme are in the domain of133thndash325th amino acids -e specific active sites are the137th 168th 211th 230th 259th and 325th amino acids -esites with catalytic activity are the 137th 168th and 325thamino acids

Using c3whiA as the template SWISS-MODEL (httpswissmodelexpasyore) was used to predict the tertiarystructure of the enzyme and we found that the range of theresidues of the enzyme molecule was from the 36th to the379th amino acid -e simulated structure diagram is shownin Figure 6 and the performance is displayed in differentcolors in the structure with N-terminals above and C-ter-minals below Figure 6(b) is a structure diagram based onhydrophilic labeling showing that most of the proteinmolecules are hydrophilic fragments and only a few arehydrophobic fragments Figures 6(c) and 6(d) show that thepositive charge of the protease residue is more than thenegative charge mainly on the surface according to thecharge-marked structure diagram

33 Conditions for Immobilization of CollagenHydrolase ontoSulfonated Polystyrene Nanospheres

331 Single-Factor Experimental Result Analysis -e in-fluence of the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier tothe enzyme time temperature and pH on immobilization isshown in Figure 8 It can be seen from Figure 8(a) thatunder the condition of a certain amount of collagenase theimmobilization ratio of the enzyme increases with the im-provement of the amount of the SPS nanosphere but thespecific activity of the immobilized enzyme is continuouslydecreased When the ratio of the amount of the SPS to thequantity of the emulsion reaches 5 50 the immobilizationratio is largest and basically stable and the maximum valueis 9730 which indicates that when the volume of SPSemulsion is 10 of the collagenase volume the SPS nano-spheres can adsorb collagenase to the greatest extent Whenthe ratio reaches 2 50 the specific activity is largesthowever when the ratio reaches 7 50 the specific activity issmallest -is may be due to the influence of SPS on theactivity of collagenase Considering comprehensively it isadvisable to determine the effect of volume ratio of 4 50

It can be seen from Figure 8(b) that the change of theimmobilization ratio is very weak all up to 97 in 2min to10min but the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreasesslightly When immobilized for 6min the immobilizationratio reaches the maximum which is 9776 Whenimmobilized for 4min the specific activity is the highestand after 8min the specific activity decreases significantly-ese indicate that the SPS has a strong adsorption capacityfor collagenase and can quickly complete the immobilizationprocess So 8min can be chosen as the best immobilizationtime

It can be seen from Figure 8(c) that the immobilizationratio changes little with the increase of temperature whilethe specific activity is greatly influenced When the tem-perature is 25degC the immobilization ratio is the highest andwhen the temperature is between 15 and 25degC the loss ofspecific activity is less but the specific activity decreasessignificantly when the temperature continues to rise whichmay be because the high-temperature environment willdestroy the active site of the enzyme resulting in a decreasein specific activity -erefore 25degC can be determined as thebest immobilization temperature

It can be seen from Figure 8(d) that the system pH hasgreat influence on the immobilization ratio and specificactivity With the increase of pH the immobilization ratiodecreases while the specific activity increases first and thendecreases When the pH is 32 the immobilization ratioreaches 9625 and the specific activity decreases to theminimum and when the pH is 56 the immobilization ratiodecreases to the minimum but the specific activity reachesthe maximum which may be due to the decreased activity of

the alkaline protease in a peracid environment -ereforepH 40 is considered to be an appropriate condition

332 Orthogonal Experimental Result Analysis According tothe single-factor experimental results considering the im-mobilization time has little effect on immobilization taking8min as the best immobilization time the L9(3)3 orthogonaloptimization experiment is carried out by selecting threefactors (the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier to theenzyme immobilization temperature and pH) from foursingle factors -e orthogonal experimental results are

shown in Table 2 and the variance analysis is shown inTable 3

According to the orthogonal experimental results andvariance analysis if the immobilization ratio is used as theevaluation index the optimal process combination isA3B1C1 -e influence degree of each factor on the im-mobilization ratio is as follows pHgt volume ratio of theimmobilization carrier to the enzymegt immobilizationtemperature in which the pH and the volume ratio of thematerial and enzyme liquid are extremely significantHowever if the specific activity of the immobilized enzymeis used as the evaluation index the best combination is

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

SPS nanospheres under the optimum conditionswould reduce the enzymatic activity of collagenaseAs a new immobilization carrier SPS nanospherescan immobilize collagen hydrolase effectively with asimple and easy operation process which has goodpractical application prospect and significance forlarge-scale industrial production with mildimmobilized conditions and with low cost Al-though only the conditions of the enzyme immo-bilized by SPS nanospheres have been studied inthis paper we have also systematically studied theapplication conditions and properties of immobi-lized enzymes and the results will be reported in thenear future

Page 5: Immobilization of Alkaline Collagenase from Bacillus subtilis onto ...downloads.hindawi.com/journals/jfq/2019/7521895.pdf · ‚e structure of an alkaline protease from Bacillus subtilis

-e amino acid sequence of the protein was analyzed bythe Related Structures (Summary) function in NCBI andthe result showed that the protease molecule of Bacillussubtilismainly contained a functional domain As shown inFigure 5 the active sites of the enzyme are in the domain of133thndash325th amino acids -e specific active sites are the137th 168th 211th 230th 259th and 325th amino acids -esites with catalytic activity are the 137th 168th and 325thamino acids

Using c3whiA as the template SWISS-MODEL (httpswissmodelexpasyore) was used to predict the tertiarystructure of the enzyme and we found that the range of theresidues of the enzyme molecule was from the 36th to the379th amino acid -e simulated structure diagram is shownin Figure 6 and the performance is displayed in differentcolors in the structure with N-terminals above and C-ter-minals below Figure 6(b) is a structure diagram based onhydrophilic labeling showing that most of the proteinmolecules are hydrophilic fragments and only a few arehydrophobic fragments Figures 6(c) and 6(d) show that thepositive charge of the protease residue is more than thenegative charge mainly on the surface according to thecharge-marked structure diagram

Figure 7 is about catalytic activity sites showing that theactive site is located in the middle of the structure and is a

triplet with catalytic hydrolysis of a-peptide bonds in in-ternal peptide chains composed of aspartic acid (137th) withan acidic residue histidine (168th) with an alkaline residueand serine (325th) with the nucleophilic property

33 Conditions for Immobilization of CollagenHydrolase ontoSulfonated Polystyrene Nanospheres

331 Single-Factor Experimental Result Analysis -e in-fluence of the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier tothe enzyme time temperature and pH on immobilization isshown in Figure 8 It can be seen from Figure 8(a) thatunder the condition of a certain amount of collagenase theimmobilization ratio of the enzyme increases with the im-provement of the amount of the SPS nanosphere but thespecific activity of the immobilized enzyme is continuouslydecreased When the ratio of the amount of the SPS to thequantity of the emulsion reaches 5 50 the immobilizationratio is largest and basically stable and the maximum valueis 9730 which indicates that when the volume of SPSemulsion is 10 of the collagenase volume the SPS nano-spheres can adsorb collagenase to the greatest extent Whenthe ratio reaches 2 50 the specific activity is largesthowever when the ratio reaches 7 50 the specific activity issmallest -is may be due to the influence of SPS on theactivity of collagenase Considering comprehensively it isadvisable to determine the effect of volume ratio of 4 50

It can be seen from Figure 8(b) that the change of theimmobilization ratio is very weak all up to 97 in 2min to10min but the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreasesslightly When immobilized for 6min the immobilizationratio reaches the maximum which is 9776 Whenimmobilized for 4min the specific activity is the highestand after 8min the specific activity decreases significantly-ese indicate that the SPS has a strong adsorption capacityfor collagenase and can quickly complete the immobilizationprocess So 8min can be chosen as the best immobilizationtime

It can be seen from Figure 8(c) that the immobilizationratio changes little with the increase of temperature whilethe specific activity is greatly influenced When the tem-perature is 25degC the immobilization ratio is the highest andwhen the temperature is between 15 and 25degC the loss ofspecific activity is less but the specific activity decreasessignificantly when the temperature continues to rise whichmay be because the high-temperature environment willdestroy the active site of the enzyme resulting in a decreasein specific activity -erefore 25degC can be determined as thebest immobilization temperature

It can be seen from Figure 8(d) that the system pH hasgreat influence on the immobilization ratio and specificactivity With the increase of pH the immobilization ratiodecreases while the specific activity increases first and thendecreases When the pH is 32 the immobilization ratioreaches 9625 and the specific activity decreases to theminimum and when the pH is 56 the immobilization ratiodecreases to the minimum but the specific activity reachesthe maximum which may be due to the decreased activity of

the alkaline protease in a peracid environment -ereforepH 40 is considered to be an appropriate condition

332 Orthogonal Experimental Result Analysis According tothe single-factor experimental results considering the im-mobilization time has little effect on immobilization taking8min as the best immobilization time the L9(3)3 orthogonaloptimization experiment is carried out by selecting threefactors (the volume ratio of the immobilization carrier to theenzyme immobilization temperature and pH) from foursingle factors -e orthogonal experimental results are

shown in Table 2 and the variance analysis is shown inTable 3

According to the orthogonal experimental results andvariance analysis if the immobilization ratio is used as theevaluation index the optimal process combination isA3B1C1 -e influence degree of each factor on the im-mobilization ratio is as follows pHgt volume ratio of theimmobilization carrier to the enzymegt immobilizationtemperature in which the pH and the volume ratio of thematerial and enzyme liquid are extremely significantHowever if the specific activity of the immobilized enzymeis used as the evaluation index the best combination is

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

SPS nanospheres under the optimum conditionswould reduce the enzymatic activity of collagenaseAs a new immobilization carrier SPS nanospherescan immobilize collagen hydrolase effectively with asimple and easy operation process which has goodpractical application prospect and significance forlarge-scale industrial production with mildimmobilized conditions and with low cost Al-though only the conditions of the enzyme immo-bilized by SPS nanospheres have been studied inthis paper we have also systematically studied theapplication conditions and properties of immobi-lized enzymes and the results will be reported in thenear future

342 SEMObservation and Energy Spectrum Analysis A setof scanning electron microscopy and energy spectrum testsabout SPS nanoparticles before and after immobilization areshown in Figures 10 and 11 It can be observed from thefigures that the SPS nanoparticles have an obvious sphericalshape uniform size uniform distribution and good mon-odispersity -e surface of the nanospheres is smooth beforeimmobilization and rough after immobilization [30] whichindicates that collagen hydrolase has been successfullyimmobilized onto the surface of SPS nanospheresAccording to the energy spectrum test results in Table 5 theSPS nanospheres before immobilization contain C O and S

elements of which the content of C is the highest and thecontent of O and S is significantly less -e S element iscaused by the introduction of a sulfonic acid group when theconcentrated sulfuric acid is sulfonating polystyrene in-dicating that the immobilized material is successfullysulfonated polystyrene -e nanoparticles after immobili-zation contain C N O and S elements Compared withthose before immobilization the C element content is de-creased while the N and O contents are significantly in-creased and the S content is less changed of the immobilizednanospheres [31] -is further indicates that collagenase hasbeen successfully immobilized onto SPS nanospheres

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

SPS nanospheres under the optimum conditionswould reduce the enzymatic activity of collagenaseAs a new immobilization carrier SPS nanospherescan immobilize collagen hydrolase effectively with asimple and easy operation process which has goodpractical application prospect and significance forlarge-scale industrial production with mildimmobilized conditions and with low cost Al-though only the conditions of the enzyme immo-bilized by SPS nanospheres have been studied inthis paper we have also systematically studied theapplication conditions and properties of immobi-lized enzymes and the results will be reported in thenear future

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

SPS nanospheres under the optimum conditionswould reduce the enzymatic activity of collagenaseAs a new immobilization carrier SPS nanospherescan immobilize collagen hydrolase effectively with asimple and easy operation process which has goodpractical application prospect and significance forlarge-scale industrial production with mildimmobilized conditions and with low cost Al-though only the conditions of the enzyme immo-bilized by SPS nanospheres have been studied inthis paper we have also systematically studied theapplication conditions and properties of immobi-lized enzymes and the results will be reported in thenear future

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

342 SEMObservation and Energy Spectrum Analysis A setof scanning electron microscopy and energy spectrum testsabout SPS nanoparticles before and after immobilization areshown in Figures 10 and 11 It can be observed from thefigures that the SPS nanoparticles have an obvious sphericalshape uniform size uniform distribution and good mon-odispersity -e surface of the nanospheres is smooth beforeimmobilization and rough after immobilization [30] whichindicates that collagen hydrolase has been successfullyimmobilized onto the surface of SPS nanospheresAccording to the energy spectrum test results in Table 5 theSPS nanospheres before immobilization contain C O and S

elements of which the content of C is the highest and thecontent of O and S is significantly less -e S element iscaused by the introduction of a sulfonic acid group when theconcentrated sulfuric acid is sulfonating polystyrene in-dicating that the immobilized material is successfullysulfonated polystyrene -e nanoparticles after immobili-zation contain C N O and S elements Compared withthose before immobilization the C element content is de-creased while the N and O contents are significantly in-creased and the S content is less changed of the immobilizednanospheres [31] -is further indicates that collagenase hasbeen successfully immobilized onto SPS nanospheres

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

SPS nanospheres under the optimum conditionswould reduce the enzymatic activity of collagenaseAs a new immobilization carrier SPS nanospherescan immobilize collagen hydrolase effectively with asimple and easy operation process which has goodpractical application prospect and significance forlarge-scale industrial production with mildimmobilized conditions and with low cost Al-though only the conditions of the enzyme immo-bilized by SPS nanospheres have been studied inthis paper we have also systematically studied theapplication conditions and properties of immobi-lized enzymes and the results will be reported in thenear future

343 TEM Analysis -e TEM images of the SPS nano-spheres before and after immobilization of collagen hy-drolase are shown in Figures 12 and 13 It can be clearly seenfrom Figure 12 that the SPS nanospheres before immobi-lization have regular spherical shapes with uniform sizesmooth surface no impurities homogeneous distributionand good monodispersity According to Figure 13 thesurface of SPS nanospheres adsorbed some particles andbecame rough which also indicates that the collagen hy-drolase is successfully immobilized onto the surface of theSPS nanospheres

344 FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis It can be observed fromFigure 14 that the infrared spectrum of the SPS nanospheresbefore and after the collagen hydrolase immobilization hassimilarities and obvious differences -e infrared spectrashow that the characteristic absorption peaks of O-H bondsof aromatic compounds appear at about 3400 cmminus 1 thestretching vibration peaks of C-H bonds appear at2900 cmminus 1 and the vibration absorption peaks of C-O ap-pear at 1 645 cmminus 1 In addition the characteristic peaks ofsulfonic acid groups appear at 1122 and 1029 cmminus 1 [32]

However only the infrared spectrum of the immobilizedenzyme shows a characteristic absorption peak of the aminogroup at 1520 cmminus 1 and the peak at 1647 cmminus 1 of the fixedenzyme is significantly enhanced [33] -erefore the in-frared suggests that collagen hydrolase has been successfully

immobilized onto SPS nanospheres which is consistent withthe expected results

4 Conclusions

(1) In this paper an alkaline collagen from fermentationof Bacillus subtilis was isolated purified and iden-tified and its structure was simulated -e molecularweight of the purified enzyme protein was 310 kDadetermined by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis ByLC-MS-MS sequencing and structure simulationonline the amino acid sequence and one three-di-mensional structure simulation diagram of the pu-rified enzyme protein were obtained -e sequenceconsistency was 6404 which suggested that theprotein might belong to the subtilisin proteasefamily Homologous modeling is the mainmethod toconstruct the three-dimensional structure of theprotein Analysis of the protein database PDB leadsto the conclusion that any pair of proteins if theirsequence consistency is more than 30 has a similarthree-dimensional structure that is the basic foldingof the two proteins is the same and only some of thedetails in the nonspiral and nonfolded lamellar re-gions are different For the sequences consistent with60 parts the 3D models determined by the ho-mologous modeling method are very accurate Iftheir sequence consistency exceeds 60 the con-struction results will be close to the test resultsobtained from the experiment [34] -e purpose ofthree-dimensional structure simulation for the en-zyme protein using the resources in the proteindatabase in this paper is to obtain some importantreference information for the study of the structureand function of the enzymes On the basis of thisstudy combining with the classical biochemicalknowledge we will analyze the enzyme protein fromthe essence predict its function from the structurecompare the function with the similar enzymeprotein and hope to find a substitute enzyme

(2) -e SPS nanospheres before and after immobiliza-tion were analyzed by particle size distribution SEMEDS TEM and Fourier transform infrared spec-troscopy indicating that the average particle size ofthe SPS nanospheres was 1551 nm and collagenhydrolase was successfully immobilized onto SPSnanospheres

(3) -e optimum immobilization conditions obtainedby the orthogonal test are as follows volume ratio ofthe immobilization carrier to the enzyme was 3 50(mL mL) the immobilization temperature was25degC and the pH was 45 At this time the proteinimmobilization ratio was 7348 and the immo-bilized enzyme specific activity was 27405 UμgCompared with the specific activity (50990Uμg)of the free enzyme the specific activity of theimmobilized enzyme was about 5374 that of thefree enzyme indicating that the immobilization of

SPS nanospheres under the optimum conditionswould reduce the enzymatic activity of collagenaseAs a new immobilization carrier SPS nanospherescan immobilize collagen hydrolase effectively with asimple and easy operation process which has goodpractical application prospect and significance forlarge-scale industrial production with mildimmobilized conditions and with low cost Al-though only the conditions of the enzyme immo-bilized by SPS nanospheres have been studied inthis paper we have also systematically studied theapplication conditions and properties of immobi-lized enzymes and the results will be reported in thenear future
