We developed new hybrid nanomaterials, urease/LDH (layered double hydroxides), for the urea detection. The LDH that were prepared by co-precipitation in constant pH and in ambient temperature are hydrotalcites (Mg2Al, Mg3Al) and zaccagnaite (Zn2Al and Zn3Al). The immobilization of urease in these various layered hybrid materials is realized by auto-assembly. The structures of hosted matrices were studied by X-ray diffraction, Absorbance Infrared spectroscopy in ATR mode and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). These techniques allowed the characterisation of the urease immobilization and its interactions with LDH chemical groups. The urease was adsorbed and its morphology was conserved in its new environment. Furthermore, the study of catalytic parameters of Urease/LDH biomembranes and of the kinetics reaction of urea hydrolysis shows a good conformation of the enzyme in hydrotalcite matrices and that the affinity is similar to free urease.

Stable immobilization of anti-beta casein antibody onto layered double hydroxides materials for biosensor applications Sensor Letters 6th Maghreb-Europe Meeting on Materials and Their Applications for Devices and Physical, Chemical and Biological Sensors , AMER SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS (Rabat, Morocco) 7, (5), 647-655
This review presents the development of new kind of antibody/LDH (layered double hydroxides) hybrid nanomaterials for beta casein detection. The preparation method of the LDH is described. It is based on the co-precipitation of metallic salts in constant pH and temperature. The chosen LDH are hydrotalcites (Mg2AICO3, Mg3AICO3), Zaccagnaite: Zn2AICO3 and hydrocalumite: Ca 2AICI. Finally, the antibody is immobilized into the LDH materials using Layer-by-Layer method by autoassembly. In this work, we studied the surface properties of the prepared hybrid biomembranes using X-ray diffraction, Infrared spectroscopy in ATR mode and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). These techniques allow describing the antibody immobilization and its interactions with LDH. The antibody was adsorbed and its morphology was conserved in its new environment after more than 15 days continuously in PBS solution, promising a constant biosensor performance.
