EN Enzymes are important catalysts which have gained much attention in various branches of science. The catalytic proteins are immobilized on various materials to increase their resistance to the unfavorable effects of pH, temperature or other denaturants present in the reaction mixture. The heterogeneous form of biocatalytic systems is the most important advantage of the immobilization process, and leads to the prolonging of catalytic activity. This chapter reviews the use of immobilization as a useful technique for improving the thermal and chemical stability of enzymes. Kinetic aspects of the immobilization process are also discussed.
