Abstract:
Five kinds of immobilized invertases (IMI)-covalently of porous glass and ion-exchange resins and ionically on ion-exchange resins-have been prepared and their kinetic characteristics for sucrose hydrolysis, such as Km , K, pH profile, and thermal stability were studied. Comparing the values of Km and activation energy and the entropy of IMI with those of native invertase, it was concluded that the immobilization influences not binding but kinetic specificity. The effects of the immobilization method on thermal stability were also discussed.

Fluids, which include both liquids and gases, are substances that deform continuously under shearing stress. For example, water and oil are liquids with molecules that can...
Characteristics of BJT
For input characteristics, the base-emitter voltage is varied, maintaining a constant collector-emitter voltage. This setup reveals a Shockley-type dependence of the collector current on...
Characteristics of JFET
The core of a JFET's operation is controlling drain current by modulating the gate-source voltage. When the drain and gate voltage are set to zero, the JFET exhibits no net current flow, representing a state of equilibrium. The drain current increases linearly as the...
