Method based on the covalent attachment of enzymes to water insoluble matrices. It is the most widespread and one of the most investigated approaches to enzyme immobilisation. The selection of conditions for immobilization is more difficult than in the cases of the other carrier binding methods described, and frequently involves more complicated and less mild conditions than the other methods, but, since covalent bonds are being formed, stable immobilized enzyme preparations which do not leach enzyme into solution in the presence of substrate or high ionic concentration solutions are formed in almost all cases. The immobilization of an enzyme by covalent attachment to a support matrix must involve only functional groups of the enzyme that are not essential for catalytic action, and therefore no reagents must be used which could affect the binding and active sites of the enzyme. 2, record 3, English, - covalent%20binding
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The reaction conditions required for covalent binding are relatively complicated and not particularly mild. Therefore, in some cases, covalent binding alters the conformational structure and active center of the enzyme, resulting in major loss of activity and/or changes of substrate specificity. 3, record 3, English, - covalent%20binding

Quoique pendant des décades les organiciens aient formulé des hypothèses spéculatives sur la manière dont les groupes latéraux spécifiques des acides aminés peuvent accélérer certaines réactions chimiques, il fallut attendre une structure tridimensionnelle détaillée avant de disposer d'explications convaincantes. C'est ce que fournirent pour la première fois à Londres en 1967 D.C. Phillips et ses collègues de la Royal Institution, en déchiffrant la structure d'une enzyme, le lysozyme. La détermination de la structure tridimensionnelle les mit en mesure de proposer un mécanisme chimique précis de dégradation des chaînes de polysaccharides spécifiques par le lysozyme. 1, record 4, French, - structure%20d%27une%20enzyme

The physical adsorption method for the immobilization of enzyme is based on the physical adsorption of enzyme protein on the surface of water-insoluble carriers. This method often causes little or no conformational change of the enzyme protein, or destruction of its active center. Accordingly, if a suitable carrier for the target enzyme is found, this method may be both simple and effective. However, this method has the disadvantage that the adsorbed enzyme may leak from the carrier during utilization, because the binding force between the enzyme protein and carrier is weak. 1, record 5, English, - adsorbed%20enzyme
