| Abstract: | Reactive and hydrophilic carriers with macroreticular structure and with excellent mechanical stability were synthesized by copolymerization of 4-isothiocyanato styrene and acrylic acid with different amounts of 1,4-divinylbenzene as crosslinking agent in the presence of petroleum ether. The porosity and the swellability of the carriers was investigated. The binding ability for trypsin was determined in dependence of the composition and of the grain size of the carriers and as a function of the offered amount of the enzyme during the immobilization. For the immobilized enzyme the pH/activity-profiles and the effectiveness were determined and the effects of buffers were investigated. |
