Question

Which of the following is an advantage of immobilised enzymes?

• A. Reuse of enzyme
• B. Continuous use of enzyme
• C. Minimum reaction time
• 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, maintain enzyme purity, ability to recover it after reaction and perform a continuous reaction. Since the reaction is continuous, it requires minimum reaction time and continuous use of enzyme is possible. The enzymes can be reused since it maintains the enzyme purity.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
