Abstract: | Urease (EC 3.5.1.5) was covalently attached through glutaraldehyde to partially hydrolysed nylon 6/6 tubes. The highest activity of immobilized enzyme was obtained at 65?°C and pH 6.5, while the optimum temperature for free urease was found to be 25?°C. Immobilized urease showed an improved thermal stability in comparison to free urease. It retained 76% of the original activity after 60 days when stored at 4?°C and 78% of the activity after 5 repeated uses. |
