Abstract:
A novel application of organically modified silicates for covalent immobilisation of penicillin G acylase is reported. The immobilisation is efficient and the enzymatic preparation shows high specific activity and thermal stability. The technique opens new perspectives for the preparation of innovative tailor-made supports matching specific requirements of enzymatic processes.
