Effect of the polymer matrix on the immobilization of lipase by radiation polymerization

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Effect of the hydrophobicity of the polymer matrix on the immobilization of lipase by radiation polymerization was studied. The enzymatic activity of the immobilized enzyme composites was affected by hydrophobicity, and optimum hydrophobicity existed for the enzyme reaction at the surface of the immobilized enzyme composites. Furthermore, the enzymatic activity was affected by monomer concentration. In the immobilization using polyethyleneglycole diacrylate monomers, the enzymatic activity increased with increasing number of ethyleneglycole unit in the monomer molecule.
