Immobilisierte Enzyme – Kinetik,Wirkungsgrad und Anwendung

Immobilized enzymes – kinetics, efficiency, and applications. Immobilized enzymes represent an important class of catalysts. They are used in many industrial processes, some of which are economically significant. The introduction of other new processes is to be expected, and some examples are briefly described. Certain conditions have to be satisfied for their practical application. They can be summarized in a set of characteristic parameters or properties. The principal properties of a biocatalyst include its kinetics and its efficiency. Both of these are discussed at length. Possible catalyst designs permitting improvement of efficiency with mass transfer limitation are described.
