Biochemical and structural characterization of cross-linked enzyme aggregates immobilized elastase strain K

Immobilization of enzyme is a great modification technique that enhances the stability and reusability of an enzyme. Nevertheless, some immobilization techniques have low productivity and require the enzyme to undergo purification process; a process which is laborious and time consuming. CLEA immobi...

Aggregates of elastase strain K was prepared by adding 60% (w/v) ammonium sulfate and treated for 3 h prior to cross-linking with 0.2% (v/v) glutaraldehyde for 2 h.

Immobilized elastase strain K exhibit enhanced thermostability and exhibit increment of optimum temperature at 50°C. In addition to that, CLEA-elastase exhibit broad pH stability between pH 5-10 and high proteolytic activity was recorded at pH 8.
