*Immobilizing Enzymes*Using enzymes
commercially can be very expensive
*Being able to reuse enzymes solves this problem
* Immobilized enzymes reusable, not lost in commercial product
*Definition: Enzymes that have been fixed to a surface or within a bead of agar gel
*Commercial application of enzymes
*Medicine
*Food technology
*Industrial processing

*How to Make an Immobilized Enzyme*Use alginate beads
*Create these bead bye mixing enzymes with a sodium alginate solution
*Take tiny droplets from this sodium alginate mixture and add them to a solution of calcium chloride
*Sodium Alginate and Calcium Chloride react to form a jelly
* Jelly turns each droplet into a tiny “bead”
* Each bead contains an enzyme that is now “immobilized”

*Example*Immobilization of LACTASE
enzyme used to make Lactose-FREE milk
*Use alginate beads
*Run substrate (milk) through the beads
*Lactase in beads hydrolyzes the lactose (disaccharide) substrate in milk into glucose and galactose monosaccharides
*Milk goes all the way through the column and collects into apparatus
*Collected milk is now lactose-free and is NOT contaminated with the enzyme

*Advantages of Immobilized Enzymes1. Easy removal of product from enzyme
*Without immobilized enzymes:
*Enzymes would be mixed in solution with substrate
*When product is made, the product would have to be separated from the enzymes in solution (costly and time consuming)
*Enzymes lost during removal process
2. Immobilized enzymes tolerant to changes in temperature and pH
*More tolerant than enzymes used in solution
*Due to protective environment of alginate beads
*Enzymes do not denature easily
