immobilised enzymes-advantages Flashcards
1
Q
easily recovered
A
re-use so reduces cost
2
Q
not contaminated
A
reduced downstream cost of product
3
Q
more stable
A
enzyme inside bead so active site held in place, not fully exposed to temp, pH so resists vibration so bonds not broken easily
4
Q
several enzymes
A
several enzymes with differing optima temp/pH at same time
5
Q
more control
A
more control over reaction as enzymes can be easily added or removed
