While enzymes are unmatched by synthetic catalysts in many aspects such as specificity, energy efficiency, and application in biological processes, there has been little success in stabilizing them outside of their native environment without compromising characteristics like activity or longevity. A tuned complex of heteropolymers around the enzyme may provide a balance of stability and accessibility to maintain protein folding and preserve activity and longevity of enzymes in non-natural environments.
While carbon emissions grow globally each year and threaten the future of the planet, there has been little progress in developing scalable methods to utilize carbon dioxide. Inspired by Earth's most important process, carbon fixation in plants, implementing carbon fixation and further processing industrially may be a solution to utilizing carbon dioxide in useful products.
In some aspects, provided are production systems for producing biological macromolecules and intermediates thereof from carbon dioxide using stabilized enzymes.
For example, in some variations, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO) enzyme is suspended in an aqueous solution similar to its native environment or an environment in which it is active. Carbon dioxide (CO2), captured from an industrial plant waste stream, is bubbled through the solution. The system mimics the carbon-fixing Calvin cycle, with the encapsulated (e.g., stabilized) enzyme catalyzing fixation of CO2 in part through carboxylation. For example, in some embodiments, through this process, system, and composition; 3-PGA is produced from the CO2 then synthesized into G3P which then is converted into glucose. From glucose, several processing pathways are possible. For example, in some embodiments, an encapsulated (e.g., stabilized) cellulose synthase enzyme, created by a similar encapsulation method, is introduced to the glucose with other inputs and reactants.

In some embodiments, heteropolymers are polymerized through radical polymerization from monomers such as methacrylate-based monomers (for example methyl methacrylate (MMA), oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA), 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium salt (3-SPMA), 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA)) in a ratio resembling a naturally disordered protein, or in such a ratio to achieve desired properties of the disclosed composition. The monomers are selected to optimize short-range polymer-enzyme interactions (such as interacting with hydrophobic, positively charged, etc regions of the enzyme surface) and provide chemical diversity. The selection of monomer ratios are guided by solubility parameters to achieve the best retention in enzyme activity. The heteropolymers may have a number-average molecular weight on the order of 30-100 kDa, or about 40 kDa.

With the encapsulation and in this solvent, the encapsulated enzyme maintains or improves activity or longevity partially due to the encapsulation without having to strictly regulate the solution pH or temperature. In some embodiments, the encapsulated enzyme is able to resist conformational change and protect enzyme activity in a non-native environment through the polymers adjusting their conformations to maximize enzyme-polymer interactions in any solvent.
