Abstract
A graphical method of determining the Michaelis-Menten constant free of the external mass transfer resistance for a packed bed immobilized enzyme system was illustrated with examples from 3 different enzyme reactions. The intercept at the ordinate obtained by the straight line extrapolation of data points in the plot of apparent Km value vs. the reciprocal of superficial velocity in column allowed an easy calculation of Km free of external mass transfer resistance. An asymptotic value of apparent Km value at infinite zero superficial velocity was ascribed to the fact that the mass transfer coefficient kL, approached a definite value at this condition.

Optimal immobilization of β-galactosidase from Pea (PsBGAL) onto Sephadex and chitosan beads using response surface methodology and its applications

TL;DR: Response surface methodology (RSM) and centre composite design (CCD) were used to optimize immobilization of beta-galactosidase (BGAL) from Pisum sativum onto two matrices: Sephadex G-75 and chitosan beads.

Acetylcholinesterase voltammetric biosensors based on carbon nanostructure-chitosan composite material for organophosphate pesticides

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitive biosensor for chloropyrifos (CPF), an organophosphorus pesticide, was developed by immobilizing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) through covalent bonding to an oxidized exfoliated graphite nanoplatelet (xGnPs)-chitosan cross-linked composite.

Stabilization of beta-galactosidase (from peas) by immobilization onto amberlite MB-150 beads and its application in lactose hydrolysis.

TL;DR: The easy accessibility of enzyme source, ease of its immobilization on Amberlite, lower cost of Amber Lite, enhanced stability of Amberlite-PsBGAL, and comparable lactose hydrolysis in milk and milk whey described here make it a suitable product for future applications at laboratory and industrial scale.

Effect of mass transfer in a recirculation batch reactor system for immobilized penicillin amidase.

TL;DR: The effect of external mass transfer resistance on the overall reaction rate of the immobilized whole cell penicillin amidase of E. coli in a recirculation batch reactor was investigated and the correlation proposed by Chilton and Colburn represented adequately the experimental data.

The isolation and kinetics of penicillin amidase from Escherichia coli

TL;DR: The enzyme was shown to be inhibited by excess substrate, benzylpenicillin, and by both of the products of hydrolysis, which was found to be competitive and by 6-aminopenicillanic acid to be non-competitive.

TL;DR: The kinetics of the hydrolysis of benzoylarginine ethyl ester in packed columns of CM-cellulose-70-ficin and CM-cells-90- ficin were studied and the apparent Michaelis constant was calculated and shown to be dependent on the flow rate at low rates of perfusion through the columns.

Mass and heat transfer to single spheres and cylinders at low Reynolds numbers

TL;DR: In this article, the velocity distributions which are assumed to exist are those derived from the linearized Navier-Stokes equations by Tomotika and Aoi, and experimental data for heat and mass transfer to single cylinders at large NPe check the theory.

Some changes in the reactivity of enzymes resulting from their chemical attachment to water-insoluble derivatives of cellulose

TL;DR: The apparent K(m) with respect to ATP and Mg(2+) of ATP-creatine phosphotransferase was observed to increase about tenfold on attachment of the enzyme to CM-cellulose, and to increase by only 23% on its attachment to p-aminobenzyl cellulose.

Effects of transpiration and changing diameter on heat and mass transfer to spheres

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a transpiration velocity at the surface of a sphere and of a continuously changing sphere diameter are included, and theoretical corrections for transpiring and shrinking spheres are applied to the mass transfer data for ice spheres that are melting in an agitated brine bath.
