Abstract

Firefly luciferase (FL) was entrapped in sol-gel-derived silica containing precursors based on covalent linkage of d-gluconolactone or d-maltonolactone to (aminopropyl)triethoxysilane to form N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)gluconamide or N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)maltonamide. The enzyme was active and stable in this material and showed catalytic constants close to those in solution. As little as 20 amol ATP could be detected with the entrapped FL, and the entrapped enzyme could be used over several cycles.
