    Determination of Neopterin as a Prognostic Indicator Using Neopterin-Imprinted Cryogel Membranes
    (Humana Press Inc., 2021) Zenger, Okan; Eren, Burcu; Arısoy, Pırıl; Özdaş, Sibel; Baydemir Peşint, Gözde
    Neopterin (Neo) is thought of as a key biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of a wide variety of diseases associated with cellular immune response. Therefore, it has become a vital need to be able to specifically determine the Neo concentration in human serum. Molecularly imprinted cryogels have come into prominence among other affinity systems by combining advantages of Molecular Imprinting Technology (MIT) and cryogels. In this chapter, synthesis of novel Neopterin-imprinted cryogel membranes (Neo-mip), characterization studies of synthesized materials, and their use in the determination of Neo in human serum is described in detail. In addition, the evaluation of selective Neo adsorption properties of Neo-mip against competitors (Pterin and Glucose) is discussed. Neo-mip will come into prominence as important affinity materials for the selective Neo recognition in body fluids, prior to use in the health sector. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    Enhanced laccase separation from fermentation medium using cryogel columns
    (Elsevier, 2023) Eren, Burcu; Zenger, Okan; Basegmez, Hatice Imge Oktay; Pesint, Gozde Baydemir
    The laccase enzyme family belongs to the oxidoreductase enzyme class and is one of the most commercially valuable enzymes that catalyzes the oxidation of one electron of a wide range of phenolic compounds. Separation and purification of laccases are crucial for industry since they play an important role in dye decolorization, biodegradation and food processing. Therefore, developing effective, high yielding and cost-effective methods for laccase production is vital. In this study, it was aimed to prepare cryogel columns for laccase purification following the bioproduction of laccase via Aspergillus niger. 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate based cryogels were synthesized in the presence of 1-vinylimidazole as the affinity ligand and characterized by swelling tests, Bru-nauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurement and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Surface area and water uptake ratio of cryogel columns were 35 m2/g and 93 %, respectively. The effect of pH, equilibrium laccase concentration, flow rate, interaction time and temperature on laccase adsorption were examined. The purifi-cation factor was calculated as 10.53 under optimum conditions and the enzyme recovery was found to be 86.7 % from fermentation medium. Current study revealed that laccase purification using cryogels following filtration of fermentation medium could be a promising candidate for industrial applications with eliminating the need for complex chromatographic steps.

    Neopterin-Imprinted Columns for Selective Neopterin Recognition from Serum and Urine Samples
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021) Özdaş, Sibel; Baydemir Peşint, Gözde; Arısoy, Pırıl; Zenger, Okan; Eren, Burcu
    Neopterin (Np), a catabolic product of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), is synthesized by human macrophages and is an important indicator of cellular immune system activation. Np is associated with the activated cellular immune response and therefore this molecule is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and follow-up of a wide variety of physiological conditions including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune disorders and viral infections. Within the scope of this study, it was aimed to synthesize neopterin-imprinted cryogel columns (Np-MIPs), which can selectively recognize Np in human body fluids. Np-MIPs were synthesized via the cryo-polymerization in presence of Np as the template molecule and characterized by swelling test, polymerization yield calculations, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The surface area was measured as 22 m2/g. Adsorption and desorption of Np from aqueous solutions were investigated, and selectivity studies were performed against pterine and glucose molecules. Maximum Np adsorption on Np-MIP was found to be 249.2 ?g/g and Np-MIPs can adsorb Np 1.09 and 3.84 times selective than glucose and pterin, respectively. It was demonstrated that Np-MIP columns can selectively adsorb Np from serum and urine, with the adsorption capacities of 36 ?g/g and 38.2 ?g/g Np-MIP, respectively. © 2021
