Enhanced activity and stability of a-amylase immobilized on alumina
نویسندگان
چکیده
a-amylase was immobilized on alumina via adsorption. The support and the immobilized enzymes were characterized using XRD, IR spectra and N2 adsorption studies. The efficiency of immobilized enzymes for starch hydrolysis was tested in a batch reactor. The effect of two different calcination temperatures on properties of the support as well as on immobilization was studied. From XRD, IR and N2 adsorption studies it was confirmed that the enzyme was getting adsorbed only on the external surface of the support. pH, buffer concentration and substrate concentration had a significant influence on the activity of immobilized enzyme. Km for immobilized a-amylase was found to be higher than the free enzyme, which may be due to interparticle diffusional mass transfer restrictions. The immobilized enzymes showed enhanced pH stability than the free enzyme. 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.

We described a partitioned enzyme-sensor system, which incorporates an immoblized substrate and three or more discrete immobilized enzymes. This instrument measures alpha-amylase activity by passing the solution containing alpha-amylase over a column packed with immobilized starch. The resulting oligosaccharides are successively exposed to a column or columns containing immobolized glucose oxid...

AaCel9A [β-1,4-endoglucanase, (E.C:3.2.1.4)], was immobilized onto glutaraldehyde activated chitosan macrosphere by covalent attachment. The properties of the immobilized AaCel9A were investigated by determining the optimum pH and optimum temperature for activity, thermal stability, and kinetic parameters. The immobilization process shifted the enzyme’s optimum temperature from 65 °C for the fr...
