“…The disadvantage of the covalent method is that the enzyme is chemically modified, making it difficult to direct in to the active conformation, hence the activity may be reduced. Zhao et al 101 reported a 40% decrease of activity for covalently bonded enzyme on oxirane functionalised SBA-15.…”

“…Comparison of the immobilization of penicillin G acylase (PGA) on SBA-15 materials functionalised with different ratios of silanol:oxirane groups on the surface of MPS demonstrated that the partially functionalised materials had a higher enzyme loading as well as faster binding kinetics than the fully functionalised surfaces [21].…”
Mesoporous silicates (MPS) possess ordered pore structures with pore diameters sufficiently large to accommodate a range of enzymes. The successful immobilization of an enzyme on MPS usually requires modification of the surface of MPS to optimize the interactions between the support and the enzyme. Recent developments on the 2 functionalization of MPS for the immobilization of enzymes are described in this review.
“…The available pore size of ordered mesoporous materials (OMM), viz., silicas, can be controlled over a range extending from 2 to 30 nm with uniform hexagonally arranged one-dimensional pores, or with a tri-dimensional cubic pore structure. [287] Microporous molecular sieves have received much attention for their specific immobilisation potential of catalyst complexes via entrapment or encapsulation. The procedure, if successful, yields isolated complexes in cages of molecular dimensions.…”
In this review the authors intend to make a tutorial review on catalyst immobilisation from the viewpoint of the catalyst designer, emphasizing the use of promising concepts in this area, rather than trying to be exhaustive. The following topics are covered:
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.
