ARSLAN %J Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society %D 2005 %I Serbian Chemical Society %X The properties of the clay bentonite as a support for enzyme immobilization were studied using the enzyme catalase. Such an immobilization does not result in enzyme inactivation and constitutes a valuable method for immobilizing catalase at high ionic strength. The bentonite-supported catalase was characterized in terms of pH and ionic strength dependencies, thermal and storage stability and kinetic parameters. These studies indicate that bentonite is a valuable support for the simple adsorption of enzymes. %K bentonite %K catalase %K immobilization %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/vol70/No5/JSCS_V70_No5-06.pdf
