Bionanoconjugation via click chemistry: The creation of functional hybrids of lipases and gold nanoparticles.

A simple and versatile method for the preparation of functional enzyme-gold nanoparticle conjugates using "click" chemistry has been developed. In a copper-catalyzed 1,2,3-triazole cycloaddition, an acetylene-functionalized Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase has been attached to azide-functionalized water-soluble gold nanoparticles under retention of enzymatic activity. The products have been characterized by gel electrophoresis and a fluorometric lipase activity assay. It is estimated that the equivalent of approximately seven fully active lipase molecules are attached to each nanoparticle.
