Molecular Decoration of Ceramic Supports for Highly Effective Enzyme Immobilization—Material Approach

A highly effective method was developed to functionalize ceramic supports (Al2O3 powders and membranes) using newly synthesized spacer molecules. The functionalized materials were subsequently utilized for Candida antarctica lipase B enzyme immobilization. objective is systematically evaluate the impact of various molecules grafted onto alumina will affect both immobilization enzymes specific material surface properties, critical enzymatic reactors performance. loading significantly improved modified with shorter molecules, which possessed higher grafting effectiveness on order 90%. activity found be much samples longer modifiers yielding excellent enantioselectivity >97%. However, enantiomeric ratio immobilized slightly lower in case
