New methods for binding enzyme molecules into a water-insoluble matrix: Properties after insolubilization

New methods of crosslinking enzyme molecules inside a matrix with or without an inactive protein are described. Enzyme activity yields range between 30 and 80% of the activity of the untreated preparations. Even fragile enzyme systems, for instance those using mobile cofactors, can be efficiently immobilized. Increased resistance towards heat denaturation and proteolysis results.
