Abstract: | Endopolygalacturonase of Aspergillus sp. was immobilized by three different methods; viz. (a) via amino groups, (b) via carboxyl groups and (c) by means of epoxy groups to a nonporous microparticular silicon dioxide (Cabosil), functionalized by 3-(amino)-propyl groups and 3-(2',3'-epoxypropoxy)-propyl groups, respectively. The conjugates were compared in their mode of action with corresponding immobilized preparations based on microporous ceramics. The binding via amino groups and via carboxyl groups lead, by itself, to changes in the mode of action of the enzyme, consisting of a decrease in randomness of glycosidic linkage splitting. The changes were greater in microporous support conjugates due to additional size-exclusion effects. The action pattern of endopolygalacturonase bound by means of epoxy groups was modulated exclusively by the porosity of the support, whereas the binding alone did not play any role. |
