What are the disadvantages of adsorption immobilization?
Posted February 22, 2024

Answer

Adsorption is an enzyme immobilization technique in which interactions such as hydrophobic forces and salt bridges are used to attach enzymes onto the surface of a solid support material. 

Disadvantages of Adsorption:

  • Modest yield
  • Surface area for enzyme binding is small
  • The enzyme gets desorbed from its carrier
