Abstract:

Transgluminase was immobilized on nylon net using activated dimethylsulfate as the carrier and glutaraldehyde as the cross-linking agent. Immobilization conditions and enzymatic properties of immobilized enzyme were also investigated. The optimal condition for immobilization was initial crosslinkage reaction of nylon net with 7% glutaraldehyde for 5 hours and final immobilization reaction using 10 ml of 1.5 mg/ml transgluminase on activated carrier for 6 hours. Activity of immobilized transgluminase was 46% under this optimal immobilization condition. Compared to free transgluminase, immobilized transgluminase exhibited better thermo-stability during storage and experimental operations.

Key words: transglutaminase, immobilization, nylon net
