Hybrid Double Enzyme Biocatalyst for Effective Degradation of Organic Pollutants.

ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the development of environmentally friendly double enzyme catalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants in water, addressing key environmental concerns. The hybrid tandem system of xanthine oxidase (XO) with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is designed for sustainable water treatment by using a natural and eco-friendly silicate substrate, perlite, as a support for the enzyme cascade reaction. The catalytic process was optimized for environmental applications. XO-generated hydrogen peroxide through the oxidation of hypoxanthine, which then activated HRP to break down a variety of harmful pollutants, including industrial dyes, pharmaceuticals, and phenolic compounds. The system demonstrated high pollutant removal efficiency, reaching up to 100% in some cases, while ma
