Question

Immobilised enzymes are preferred than soluble enzymes because of

• A. Higher stability
• B. Less chance of contamination
• C. Easy recovery of products
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Immobilization of enzymes is the process of fixing enzyme to or enclosing it in a solid support so as to protect it from deactivation and attack from proteases, having higher stability, maintain enzyme purity, ability to recover it after reaction and perform a continuous reaction. Since the enzyme is entrapped, easy recovery of the product is possible.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
