The present study deals with the potential application of chitosan macrobeads for immobilization of trypsin. Macrobeads were prepared by precipitation and their mechanical properties were improved by covalent crosslinking using glutaraldehyde. Scanning electron microscopy studies showed that the beads size varied between 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm depending on the chitosan content and molar excess of glutaraldehyde. Trypsin (EC.3.4.21.4)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
