Improved performance of lipases immobilized on heterofunctional octyl-glyoxyl agarose beads

TL;DR: While octyl-agarose released enzyme molecules after incubation at high temperatures or in the presence of organic solvents and detergents, the covalently immobilized enzyme remained attached to the support even after boiling the enzyme in SDS, eliminating the risks of product contamination.
