Advantages of Supports Activated with Divinyl Sulfone in Enzyme Coimmobilization: Possibility of Multipoint Covalent Immobilization of the Most Stable Enzyme and Immobilization via Ion Exchange of the Least Stable Enzyme

Roberto Morellon-Sterling et al.

Summary: A new strategy was developed using VS-agarose beads to coimmobilize enzymes with different stabilities, allowing for the reuse of the most stable immobilized enzyme. Two model combi-biocatalysts were prepared and tested, demonstrating the stability and potential for repeated use of the immobilized enzymes. The results showed that the immobilized proteases were more stable than the immobilized lactase, with potential for practical applications in biocatalysis.

New frontiers in enzyme immobilisation: robust biocatalysts for a circular bio-based economy†

Roger A. Sheldon et al.

Summary: This tutorial review focuses on recent advances in technologies for enzyme immobilisation, enabling their cost-effective use in the bio-based economy and continuous processing in general. The application of enzymes, particularly in aqueous media, is generally on a single use, throw-away basis which is neither cost-effective nor compatible with a circular economy concept. This shortcoming can be overcome by immobilising the enzyme as an insoluble recyclable solid, that is as a heterogeneous catalyst.
