DEF

Immobilization of two or more enzymes so as to form multifunctional catalysts.

OBS

The co-immobilization of two enzymes should be capable of more complex conversions than are possible using a single enzyme. For instance, glucose oxidase and catalase have been co-immobilized so that the hydrogen peroxide produced by the glucose oxidase is degraded by the catalase before it can inactivate the glucose oxidase.
