N2 - Several approaches that facilitate the oriented assembly of proteins on a variety of surfaces, including membranes, will be described. Biotinylation reactions performed under controlled conditions were used to immobilize enzymes in a layer-by-layer fashion onto surfaces modified with avidin or streptavidin. For other enzymes, a specific attachment site was introduced by gene fusion or site-directed mutagenesis. These strategies were applied to achieve site-specific immobilization of several enzymes including alkaline phosphatase, organophosphorus hydrolase, horseradish peroxidase, and subtilisin. The site-specific immobilization led to orientation of the enzyme molecules on the surface of materials and to a higher activity compared to conventional immobilization methods.
