Abstract

Polycondensation of a catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) with glutaraldehyde in order to stabilize the quaternary structure of an enzyme, maintain its activity, and protect it from thermal denaturation was studied. Synthesis showed a superequivalent utilization of the aldehyde groups relative to the catalase amine groups, as a result of the formation of glutaraldehyde oligomers linked to the enzyme.
