[Integral criteria of the effectiveness of an enzyme immobilization process]
Abstract:
It was found that estimation of the samples of immobilized enzymes and cells by particular characteristics often produces contradictory results. This makes difficult the choice of the best biocatalyst. Integral criteria equally taking into account both the quality of the biocatalysts and the amounts of the native enzyme required for their production are described. Example confirming the advantages of the integral criteria in estimation of large lots of the samples of the biocatalysts are cited.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
