TL;DR
Researchers developed a new method to produce 2-aminobutyric acid using enzyme aggregates that are stable and reusable.
Contribution
A novel, eco-friendly method for creating enzyme aggregates using low calcium concentrations and histidine-tagged enzymes.
Findings
Combi-CLEAs showed enhanced thermal and pH tolerance compared to free enzymes.
The combi-CLEAs retained 40% of initial activity after seven reuse cycles.

Abstract
Combined cross‐linked enzyme aggregates (combi‐CLEAs) represent a promising carrier‐free immobilized enzyme technology. This study describes the preparation of combi‐CLEAs comprising leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) and formate dehydrogenase (FDH) for the regeneration of cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide necessary for 2‐aminobutyric acid production. Different from traditional methods using ammonium sulfate or organic reagents as precipitant, this work utilized low concentrations of calcium ions to purify and precipitate the histidine‐tagged enzymes. We developed a simple and environmentally friendly protocol for combi‐CLEAs formation, involving precipitation with 10 mM calcium ions at an enzyme activity ratio of 1:2 for LeuDH and FDH, respectively, followed by cross‐linking with 0.15% (w/v) glutaraldehyde at 20°C for 2 h at pH 7.5. The optimal catalytic reaction temperature and pH…
