Isolation, purification, immobilization of oxalate oxidase and its clinical applications.

Abstract
Oxalate oxidase known to catalyse the aerobic oxidation of oxalic acid into CO2 and H2O2, has been found in bacteria, fungi, mosses and some higher plants. So far, a membrane bound oxalate oxidase from Pseudomonas sp. OX-53 and a soluble oxalate oxidase from seedling plants of barley and grain sorghum has been purified to homogeneity by conventional purification methods. The enzyme has been immobilized onto insoluble support such as nylon tubing, zirconia coated alkylamine glass, polyamide membrane, CO2 gas sensing electrode, H2O2 sensor probe and polyanionic electrolyte such as ethylaminemaleic anhydride (EMA). Compared to free enzyme the immobilized enzyme showed an increase in optimum pH, decrease in Vmax and time for maximum activity, higher resistance to inhibition by NaCl but no change in Km value. The immobilized enzyme has been used in both continuous flow system and discrete assays and in enzyme electrode for determination of oxalate in urine, blood and food stuff, which is essentially required for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate urinary stones. The degradation of endogenous oxalate in rat by immobilized oxalate oxidase has opened a new vistas in enzyme therapy of hyperoxaluria.
