WHAT IS MEANT BY IMMOBILISATION?

Means fixed in place. Immobilised enzymes are enzymes that are attached,or fixed to each other or to an inert material.

NAME A SUBSTANCE THAT IS USED TO IMMOBILISE ENZYMES?

Sodium Alginate

2 ADVANTAGES OF IMMOBILISING ENZYMES?

• Can be reused. This is a huge advantage as the cost of replacing enzymes are very high.
• The process of immobilising an enzyme increases its stability
