Abstract

Results are presented of studies on spin-labeled enzymes immobilized onto polymeric supports using site-specific immobilization. A different way to use molecular recognition to immobilize subtilisin is to utilize molecular biology, and site-directed mutagenesis in particular. It is shown that utilizing the principles of molecular recognition, one can immobilize enzymes onto polymeric supports making the resulting biofunctional membrane more active than with random immobilization.
