Immobilization of enzymes on alginic acid-polyacrylamide copolymers

Abstract

In this report, the authors present initial results and limitations of a polymeric system for the immobilization of enzymes. Enzymes attached to insoluble polymers of natural and synthetic origin are gaining importance in many industrial and biomedical applications. Graft copolymers are used as enzyme supports and in this study a novel polymeric system of alginic acid-polyacrylamide graft copolymer is described which was used for immobilizing enzymes
