About the topic:

Enzyme immobilization is one of the methods which approve thermal and chemical stability of enzyme. Enzymes are important catalysts which have gained much attention in various branches of science. The catalytic proteins are immobilized on different materials (inorganic, organic, bio- and hybrid materials) to increase their resistance to the unfavorable effects of pH, temperature or other denaturants present in the reaction mixture. The heterogeneous form of biocatalytic systems is the most important advantage of the immobilization process, and leads to the prolonging of catalytic activity. This special issue is focused on the broadly understood enzyme immobilization process: from preparation of biocatalytic system, through the activity and enzymatic kinetics, and to the application.

Keywords:

Open Access Original Research 3D Printed Polylactic Acid (PLA) Well Plates for Enzyme Inhibition Studies: The Case of Pancreatic Lipase by Anastasia Skonta  , Elena Gkantzou  , Konstantinos Spyrou  , Stamatia Spyrou  , Angeliki Polydera  , Dimitrios Gournis  and Haralambos Stamatis Received: 31 July 2022;  Published: 08 October 2022;  doi: 10.21926/cr.2203032 Abstract 3D printed PLA has already been demonstrated for several biotechnological applications, including enzymes immobilization. The prerequisites for an efficient screening assay include using small volumes of reagents, low cost, and rapid screening of large numbers of compounds and extracts. Hence, assays based on microtiter plates are predominant [...]
