Catalase has been immobilized in membranes prepared by photoinduced grafting onto microporous polymeric supports and its catalytic activity on hydrogen peroxide decomposition has been studied under ultrafiltration conditions by means of a recirculation apparatus. The membranes showed a very good catalytic performance and the enzyme reaction took place exclusively within the membrane structure. Initial reaction rates measured in the temperature range 5-35-degrees-C as a function of both substrate concentration and enzyme amount immobilized per unit membrane surface indicate that the mechanism of action of catalase is not altered after immobilization.

Abstract
Catalase has been immobilized in membranes prepared by photoinduced grafting onto microporous polymeric supports and its catalytic activity on hydrogen peroxide decomposition has been studied under ultrafiltration conditions by means of a recirculation apparatus. The membranes showed a very good catalytic performance and the enzyme reaction took place exclusively within the membrane structure. Initial reaction rates measured in the temperature range 5-35-degrees-C as a function of both substrate concentration and enzyme amount immobilized per unit membrane surface indicate that the mechanism of action of catalase is not altered after immobilization.Pubblicazioni consigliate
