Read this article to learn about the therapeutic applications of immobilized enzymes and cells. The therapeutic applications are dealt with here. There are several limitations for the direct use of enzymes for therapeutic purposes. These include the poor availability of the enzyme at the site of action, sensitivity to natural inhibitors, degradation by endogenous proteases and immunogenicity of certain enzymes. [...]
Read this article to learn about the methods, effects and applications of immobilization of enzymes and cells. Traditionally, enzymes in free solutions (i.e. in soluble or free form) react with substrates to result in products. Such use of enzymes is wasteful, particularly for industrial purposes, since enzymes are not stable, and they cannot be recovered for reuse. Immobilization of enzymes [...]
This article throws light upon the four applications of biosensors. The four applications are: (1) Applications in Medicine and Health (2) Applications in Industry (3) Applications in Pollution Control and (4) Applications in Military. Biosensors have become very popular in recent years. They are widely used in various fields. Biosensors are small in size and can be easily handled. They [...]
