What are the advantages of cross-linking immobilization?
Posted February 22, 2024

Answer

Cross-linking is an enzyme immobilization technique in which enzymes are cross-linked with each other without any support material, so the enzymes act as their carrier. 

Advantages of Cross Linking 

  • Produces controllable particle sizes
  • Results in a highly stable enzyme with higher resistance to elevated temperatures and organic solvents
  • Minimum or no loss of enzymes
  • Highly desirable for the purpose of industrial biotransformations because of its high stability, volumetric efficiency, and recycling with optimum catalytic activity
