Abstract
The use of enzymes in therapeutics is impeded by several unrelated difficulties, some of which can be alleviated by immobilization. In addition, the application of immobilization techniques to soluble proteins can give rise to new solutions for prostheses and hemocompatible surfaces. Examples of both cases are given in this paper in order to show possible applications of enzyme immobilization procedures in the medical field.
