Why does the immobilization efficiency of enzyme change according to changes in pH?

25 October 2022 1 9K Report

Some enzymes have high immobilization efficiency at acidic medium while others prefer basic medium or neutral medium. why?

Amarjit K Nath

Enzymes are polypeptides . The Change in pH effects the ionisation state of the side chains of amino acids. The charge on enzyme protein changes.

I have two problems: 1) the enzyme is not immobilizing efficiently into the MOF material.. 2) the MOF itself has peak on 400nm by using p-NPA test.?

I am working on carbonic anhydrase immobilization into MOFs. I am facing problems with low enzyme loading.. The other issue is that when using p-NPA activity test to detect the activity of the...
