“…Different carriers can provide different external backbone for the enzyme molecules, which is expected to improve the stability of enzyme molecules at reaction conditions (Temoçin and Yiğitoğlu, 2009). There are many different materials which have been proposed to immobilize enzymes, including Ca-alginate, agar, K-Carrageenin, polyacrylamide, nylon, cellulose, polysulfone, alumina, silica, porous glass, ceramics, diatomaceous earth, clay and bentonite (Hu et al, 2007). Among these materials, mesoporous silica is the most commonly used supporter for the immobilized enzyme because of its advantages (Hu et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2009).…”
