Summary
Summary
Carrier-bound Immobilized Enzymes
The first systematic overview of this key technique since the early 1990s, this authoritative reference is the only handbook available to include all recent developments. The author draws on his wide-ranging experience in both academia and industry to systematically cover all types of enzyme immobilization methods, including such novel techniques as site-specific immobilization, imprinting and immobilization in organic solvents.
From the contents:
Introduction to Immobilized Enzymes Adsorption-based Immobilization Covalent Enzyme Immobilization Enzyme Entrapment Enzyme Encapsulation Unconventional Enzyme ImmobilizationThroughout, a careful review of materials and techniques for the preparation of functional immobilized enzymes that benefits both developers and users of carrier-bound enzymes. Essential reading for biotechnologists, chemists and food scientists using enzymes in their daily work.
Author Notes
Linqiu Cao studied Organic Chemistry and Biotechnology at the Beijing University of Science and Technology (China). He was a visiting scientist at GBF (Gesellschaft fur Biotechnologische Forschung) in Braunschweig (Germany) and later moved to the University of Stuttgart (Germany) to obtain a PhD in Biotechnology. He then joined the group of Roger Sheldon at the Technical University in Delft (The Netherlands), where he pioneered a novel enzyme immobilisation technology with improved performance in biocatalytic transformations using cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). In 2000, he joined the newly founded company Avantium in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) where he continued to develop novel enzyme crosslinking and immobilisation technology. Recently he moved to DMV in Veghel (The Netherlands).
