Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The term entrapment has been used to cover a range of immobilization techniques. O’Driscoll has chosen to distinguish between those methods, where a gel or membrane is formed around an enzyme by polymerization and those methods where the enzyme is retained in a preformed polymer by subsequent formation of a cross-linked network. Microencapsulation and fiber entrapment are clearly other examples of this immobilization technique. 3, record 1, English, - fibre%20entrapment

En dehors de l'équipe de DINELLI, en Italie, qui a préparé de nombreuses enzymes immobilisées par inclusion dans des fibres d'acétate de cellulose, les enzymes immobilisées à structure non membranaire se présentent sous forme de particules de taille, de porosité et de propriétés mécaniques très variables. Ce sont les caractéristiques de ces particules qui conditionnent la mise en œuvre. Le choix du support pourra être ainsi différent selon que l'on envisage l'emploi de ces systèmes à petite échelle ou dans un but industriel. 1, record 1, French, - inclusion%20dans%20des%20fibres

The cross-linked polymer most commonly employed for enzyme entrapment is polyacrylamide gel, and it has been used for the immobilization of many enzymes. The procedure for the formation of polyacrylamide gel is identical to that employed for the preparation of gel commonly used for disc electrophoresis. 3, record 3, English, - disc%20electrophoresis

Méthode dérivant de l'électrophorèse de zones où le mélange protéique qui doit être analysé est soumis à un champ électrique dans un gel retardateur qui est séparé en deux portions différant par leur porosité et tamponnées à pH différents. Le mélange de protéines migre du gel le plus poreux vers le gel le moins poreux, ce processus s'accompagnant d'une modification de pH. Chaque espèce de protéines se concentre ainsi dans une zone plutôt étroite, en bandes minces, ce qui permet d'obtenir une très grande résolution, plus élevée que celle obtenue avec un tampon continu. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9lectrophor%C3%A8se%20discontinue

The gel entrapment method involves entrapping of the enzymes within the interstitial spaces of crosslinked water insoluble polymer gels.... The usual method of gel formation is to polymerize acrylamide in an aqueous solution of the soluble enzyme and a crosslinking agent such as N, N-methylenebis(acrylamide). The resulting gel block can be mechanically dispersed into particles of desired size. The broad distribution of pore size of the gel inevitably results in leakage of the entrapped enzyme even after prolonged washing whilst the generation of free radicals in the course of the reaction may affect the activity of the entrapped enzymes. 1, record 4, English, - gel%20entrapment

Les enzymes sont en général immobilisées soit par fixation covalente sur un support membranaire, soit par utilisation d'un agent de pontage qui provoque la réticulation des molécules de protéine active ou la coréticulation de l'enzyme avec une protéine inerte. Les techniques d'inclusion dans un gel ou de confinement d'enzymes en solution sont progressivement remplacées pas les méthodes chimiques d'immobilisation. Les capteurs sont le plus souvent de type électrochimique. 1, record 4, French, - inclusion%20dans%20un%20gel
