- Medical and Industrial Application of Enzymes
- Immobilised Enzymes
- Advantages
- several enzymes can be used together
- allows processes to occur at higher temps than normal
- easily recovered
- doesnt get mixed up with the product
- enzyme molecules that are fixed on an inert matrix
- gel capsule (alginate beads)
- Advantages
- Biosensor
- One use of immobilised enzymes
- 1. Blood contains a mixture of different molecules
- 2. Enzyme electrode is placed in blood sample
- Glucose diffuses into the immobilised enzyme layer
- oxygen is taken up
- Glucose diffuses into the immobilised enzyme layer
- 2. Enzyme electrode is placed in blood sample
- Functions
- Detection of blood sugar
- Traducer-changes eneergy to electrical signal
- Immobilised Enzymes
