Question

Collagen is used for enzyme immobilisation because of

• A. Good amylose content
• B. Good porosity
• C. Water holding capacity
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both B and C

Collagen is used for enzyme immobilisation because it is a proteinaceous support with good porosity and water holding capacity. The side chains of amino acids in collagen and that of the enzymes can form covalent bonds to permanently hold the enzymes to the support.

So, the correct answer is option D.
