- Immobilising enzymes
- Absorption
- Enzymes mixed with porous substance
- They will bind through ionic or hydrophobic interactions
- Covalent bonding
- Enzymes are bound to a porous substance
- Covalent bonds hold enzymes in place
- Entrapment
- Matrix of fibres (cellulose) hold enzymes in place
- Reaction can be slow because substrate needs to get through fibres
- Membrane separations
- Membrane is used to separate enzyme and substrate
- Substrate will pass by enzyme membrane and bind
- Absorption
