The aim of this study is to prepare immobilized protease with high hydrolytic activity forbiotechnological applications. Local Bean Seeds (Dolichos Lablab L.) were used for the extraction of acidprotease using tris-buffer, pH 4.5 as enzyme solvent. Free acidic protease was immobilized on entrapment in calcium alginate gel (in situ activated) by covalent binding method. Their activity and immobilization efficiency for hemoglobin hydrolysis was investigated. Temperature and pH maxima of the immobilized protease showed no changes before and after immobilization. The immobilized protease exhibited good thermal stability and re-usability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
