Abstract

Two drug-enzyme conjugates of dexamethasone-subtilisin and dexamethasone-cellulase have been synthesized and characterized to study their drug-protein incorporation ratio, immunoreactivity, enzyme activity and stability and these studies proved that a variety of drug enzyme conjugates could also be synthesized and characterized.
