Enzymes are attractive catalysts as they are highly effective and specific under ambient conditions. The major drawbacks are their short lifetimes, expensive isolation from the reaction products and losing their catalytic properties if subjected to conditions other than their optimal ones. Research over the last four decades has focused on developing methods to overcome these shortcomings of the biocatalytic approach. One of the most successful methods being enzyme immobilization. There are several applications of immobilized enzymes in medical and food industries, biotechnology and...
