The immobilization of amyloglucosidase after periodate oxidation gave a preparate with the highest specific activity reported so far on similar polymers. The obtained immobilized preparates show the same pH optimum, but a higher temperature optimum compared with the soluble enzyme. The kinetic parameters for the hydrolysis of soluble starch by free and both immobilized enzymes were determined. %K glucoamylase %K poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) %K immobilization %K periodate %K starch %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/vol70/No5/JSCS_V70_No5-05.pdf
