For immobilization of an enzyme it is necessary that functional groups in the active center should not be involved in the reaction leading to immobilization of the enzyme.

CONT

La réaction enzymatique n'est possible que si le ou les substrats entrent en association avec le ou les sites stéréospécifiques de l'enzyme, ou sites actifs. Il est presque évident que la spécificité remarquable des enzymes suppose l'implication de plus d'un groupement fonctionnel dans la réaction elle-même, et surtout dans la définition rigoureuse de la conformation du site.
