An immobilized enzyme is an enzyme attached to an insoluble support. This allows the enzyme to be reused and separated from reaction products. There are several advantages to immobilization including repeated use, stopping reactions rapidly, and preventing enzyme contamination of products. Methods of immobilization include adsorption, cross-linking, occlusion within a polymer matrix, and covalent binding. Immobilized enzymes have various applications including producing antibiotics, amino acids, organic acids, and other compounds.
Immobilization techniques are used by the movement of cells and enzymes. First enzyme immobilized in Japan. The immobilized enzyme is aminoacylase. This process is carried out by various methods such adsorption, covalent bonding, cross linking, entrapment, encapsulation. Immobilization of cells is an alternative method for immobilization of enzymes.
It will be helpful for students who is having very less time to prepare for enzyme immobilization and coimmobilization of an enzyme. This presentation have covered various methods and its induatrial applicability.
Enzyme immobilization is defined as confining the enzyme molecules to a distinct phase from the one in which the substrates and the products are present.
It is achieved by fixing the enzyme molecules to or within some suitable material.

As enzymes are biological catalysts that promote the rate of reactions but are not themselves consumed in the reactions; they may be used repeatedly for as long as they remain active. However, in most of the processes, enzymes are mixed in a solution with substrates and cannot be economically recovered after the reaction and are generally wasted. Thus, there is an incentive to use enzymes in an immobilized or insolubilized form so that they may be retained in a biochemical reactor for further catalysis.
Enzyme immobilization may be defined as a process of confining the enzyme molecules to a solid support over which a substrate is passed and converted to products. The process whereby the movement of enzymes, cells, organelles, etc. in space is completely or severely restricted usually resulting in a water-insoluble form of the enzyme

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. An immobilized enzyme is an enzyme which is attached to an inert,
insoluble material. This can provide increased resistance to changes in
conditions such as pH or temperature. It also allow enzymes to be held in
place through out the reaction, following which they are easily separated
from the products and may be used again.
There are a number of advantages to attaching enzymes to a solid support
and a few of the major reasons are listed below:
❖Multiple or repetitive use of a single batch of enzymes
❖The ability to stop the reaction rapidly by removing the enzyme from
the reaction solution (or vice versa)
❖Enzymes are usually stabilized by bounding
❖Product is not contaminated with the enzyme (especially useful in the
food and pharmaceutical industries)
❖Analytical purposes: Long 1/2-life, predictable decay rates, elimination
of reagent preparation, etc.
Methods used for the immobilization of enzymes fall into four main
categories:
•Physical adsorption onto an inert carrier,
•Inclusion in the lattices of a polymerized gel (microencapsulation),
•Cross-linking of the protein with a bifunctional reagent
•Covalent binding to a reactive insoluble support.
3.
4. Adsorption
Physical adsorption of an enzyme onto a solid is probably the simplest
way of preparing immobilized enzymes. The method relies on non-
specific physical interaction between the enzyme protein and the surface
of the matrix, brought about by mixing a concentrated solution of enzyme
with the solid.
Advantages
A major advantage of adsorption as a general method of insolubilizing
enzymes is that usually no reagents and only a minimum of activation
steps are required. As a result, adsorption is cheap, easily carried out,
and tends to be less disruptive to the enzymic protein than chemical
means of attachment, the binding being mainly by hydrogen bonds,
multiple salt linkages, and Van der Waal's forces.
Disadvantages
Because of the weak bonds involved, desorption of the protein resulting
from changes in temperature, pH, ionic strength or even the mere
presence of substrate, is often observed. Another disadvantage is non-
specific further adsorption of other proteins or other substances as the
immobilized enzyme is used. This may alter the properties of the
immobilized enzyme or, if the substance adsorbed is a substrate for the
enzyme, the rate will probably decrease depending on the surface
mobility of enzyme and substrate.
5. Substrates for adsorption
1.Charcoal (catalse)
2.Aluminium hydroxide
3.Titanium dioxide
4.Silica
5.Calcium Phospphate (α-amylase)
6.Cellul,ose (Subtilisin)
7.Cellophane (glutaraldehyde)
Occlusion
Confining enzymes within the lattices of polymerized gels. This allows the
free diffusion of low molecular weight substrates and reaction products.
The usual method is to polymerize the hydrophilic matrix in an aqueous
solution of the enzyme and break up the polymeric mass to the desired
particle size.
Advantages
As there is no bond formation between the enzyme and the polymer
matrix, occlusion provides a generally applicable method that, in theory,
involves no disruption of the protein molecules.
6. Disadvantages
The free radicals generated on the course of the polymerization may
affect the activity of entrapped enzymes. Another disadvantage is that
only low molecular weight substrates can diffuse rapidly to the enzyme,
thus making the method unsuitable for enzymes that act on
macromolecular substrates, such as ribonuclease, trypsin, dextranase.
The broad distribution in pore size of synthetic gels of the polyacrylamide
type inevitably results in leakage of the entrapped enzyme, even after
prolonged washing. This may be overcome by cross-linking the
entrapped protein with glutaraldehyde. Alternatively, ultrafiltration
membranes of well-defined pore size may be used to occlude the
enzyme.
Cross-Linking
Immobilization of enzymes has been achieved by intermolecular cross-
linking of the protein, either to other protein molecules or to functional
groups on an insoluble support matrix. Cross-linking an enzyme to itself
is both expensive and insufficient, as some of the protein material will
inevitably be acting mainly as a support, resulting in relatively low
enzymatic activity. Generally, cross-linking is best used in conjunction
with one of the other methods. Preventing leakage from polyacrylamide
gels has already been mentioned, but it is used much more widely as a
means of stablilizing adsorbed enzymes.
7. Since the enzyme is covalently linked to the support matrix, very little
desorption is likely using this method. Marshall (1973), for example, reported
that carbamyl phosphokinase cross-linked to alkylamine glass with
glutaraldehyde lost only 16% of its activity after continuous use in a column at
room temperature for fourteen days.
Covalent Binding
The most intensely studied of the immobilization techniques is the formation
of covalent bonds between the enzyme and the support matrix. When trying
to select the type of reaction by which a given protein should be insolubilized,
the choice is limited by the fact that the binding reaction must be performed
under conditions that do not cause loss of enzymatic activity, and the active
site of the enzyme must be unaffected by the reagents used.
The functional groups of proteins suitable for covalent binding under mild
conditions include
i.The alpha amino groups of the chain and the epsilon amino groups of lysine
and arginine,
ii.The alpha carboxyl group of the chain end and the beta and gamma
carboxyl groups of aspartic and glutamic acids,
iii.The phenol ring of tyrosine,
iv.The thiol group of cysteine,
v. The hydroxyl groups of serine and threonine,
vi.The imidazile group of histidine, and
vii.The indole group of tryptophan.
8. The wide variety of binding reactions, and insoluble carriers with functional
groups capable of covalent coupling, or being activated to give such
groups, makes this a generally applicable method of insolubilization.
The activated polymers used are hydrogels incorporated with diazo,
carbodiimide or azide groups.
Advantage
This an advantage that the attachment in not reversed by pH, ionic
strength or substrate.
Disadvantage
The active site may be blocked through the chemical reaction rendering
the enzyme inactive.
9. Application of immobilized enzymes:
Antibiotics Production
Immobilized enzymes are used to produce 6-aminopenicillin acid, penicillin,
cephalosporin.
Penicillin amidase immobilized by covalently binding with amberlite and
crosslinked by glutaraldehyde, or physically adsorbed to bentonite is used for
production of 6-APA, penicillin V. also ampicillin and amoxicillin are produced
from 6-APA.
