In this work we set out to study the activity of a thermostable Transketolase (TK) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (TKgst) in an ionic liquid as cosolvent, which has never been investigated before with this enzyme. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIm][Cl]) in the range 30-50% in water maintained the total activity of TKgst and increased the reaction rate in the presence of pentoses as acceptor substrates, particularly d-ribose. To improve the synthetic process, TKgst was immobilized on an inorganic support, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with excellent immobilization yield and catalytic activity using a simple, eco-compatible, efficient coprecipitation procedure. The biohybrid MgAl@TKgst was tested in 30% [BMIm][Cl] for the synthesis of a rare, very costly commercially available sugar, d-sedoheptulose, which was obtained in one step from d-ribose with an isolated yield of 82%. This biohybrid was reusable over four cycles with no loss of enzymatic activity. The particular activity of free and immobilized TKgst in [BMIm][Cl] holds promise to extend the applications of TKgst in other ionic liquids and unusual media in biocatalysis.

Transketolase (TK) from S. cerevisiae was successfully immobilized on layered double hydroxides (LDH) using simple, affordable and efficient adsorption and coprecipitation based immobilization procedures. Optimization of the preparation was performed using zinc aluminium nitrate (Zn 2Al-NO3) and magnesium aluminium nitrate (Mg 2Al-NO3) LDH as immobilization supports, and the protein-to-LDH weight ratio (Q) was varied. The highest immobilization yields (98-99%) and highest relative specific activities (4.2-4.4 U·mg -1 for the immobilized enzyme compared to 4.5 U·mg -1 for the free enzyme) were both achieved when using a protein-to-LDH weight ratio (Q) of 0.38. Efficient lyophilization of the LDH-TK bionanocomposites thus synthesized was proven to allow easy use and storage of the supported TK with no significant loss of activity over a three-month period. The kinetic parameters of the LDH-TK enzyme were comparable to those of the free TK. The LDH-TK enzyme was finally tested for the synthesis of L-erythrulose starting from hydroxypyruvate lithium salt (Li-HPA) and glycolaldehyde (GA) as substrates. L-erythrulose was characterized and obtained with an isolated yield of 56% similar to that obtained with free TK. The reusability of the LDH-TK biohybrid material was then investigated, and we found no loss of enzymatic activity over six cycles. Copyright
