Modifying enzyme activity and selectivity by immobilization.
Rafael C. Rodrigues,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rodrigo Torres,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +4 more
TL;DR: In this tutorial review, some of the main reasons that may produce an improvement in enzyme activity, specificity or selectivity, either real or apparent, due to immobilization are listed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of Different Enzyme Immobilization Strategies to Improve Enzyme Performance
TL;DR: The advantages and disadvantages of the different existing immobilization strategies to solve the different aforementioned enzyme limitations are given and some advice to select the optimal strategy for each particular enzyme and process is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutaraldehyde in bio-catalysts design: a useful crosslinker and a versatile tool in enzyme immobilization
Oveimar Barbosa,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rodrigo Torres,Rafael C. Rodrigues,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +5 more
TL;DR: Glutaraldehyde, an apparently old fashioned reactive, remains the most widely used and with broadest application possibilities among the compounds used for the design of biocatalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for the one-step immobilization–purification of enzymes as industrial biocatalysts
Oveimar Barbosa,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rodrigo Torres,Rafael C. Rodrigues,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +5 more
TL;DR: The development of tailor-made heterofunctional supports as a tool to immobilize-stabilize-purify some proteins will be discussed in deep, using low concentration of adsorbent groups and a dense layer of groups able to give an intense multipoint covalent attachment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of the Support Properties for Immobilization or Purification of Enzymes
José C. S. dos Santos,José C. S. dos Santos,Oveimar Barbosa,Claudia Ortiz,Ángel Berenguer-Murcia,Rafael C. Rodrigues,Roberto Fernandez-Lafuente +6 more
TL;DR: This review will focus its attention on the requirements of a support surface to produce the desired objectives, the ideal physical properties of the matrix, the properties ofThe introduced reactive groups, the best surface activation degree to reach the desired objective, and the Properties of the reactive groups will be discussed.
