Abstract

In this presented work, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate) [p(HEMA-GMA)] cryogels were prepared by using the radicalic cryopolymerization technique, and then modified with lectin protein ConA. These ConA functionalized cryogels were used for the immobilization of laccase, and enzyme loading was found to be as 7.1 mg/g cryogel. Finally, these laccase immobilized cryogels were successfully used for the decolorization of six different types of dye molecules.
