Fabrication of polydopamine-based NIR-light responsive imprinted nanofibrous membrane for effective lysozyme extraction and controlled release from chicken egg white

摘要

The development of highly efficient performance matrix for protein adsorption and scalable throughput adsorbent is highly desired, especially in pharmaceuticals and food industries. In this work, we present a simple methodology to prepare a nanofibrous membrane based surface molecular imprinted matrix (MIP) for selective separation of lysozyme. The MIP was developed by coating carboxylated poly (vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) nanofibrous mat (EVOH-CCA NFM) with a near infrared (NIR)-light responsive polydopamine (PDA) layer. The open porous nanofibrous structure and a thin PDA layer endowed the MIPs with adsorption capacity (500 mg. g-1) within 150 min. The developed surface MIPs not only showed imprinting factor (IF = 4) with reusability upon 5 cycles, but also capability of extracting lysozyme from egg-white directly. The MIPs showed controlled release of extracted lysozyme triggered by the NIR-light responsive property of the PDA layer. Moreover, the released lysozyme possesses good bioactivity, evidenced by efficient decomposition of micrococcus bacterial cell wall.
