Abstract
Covalent immobilization of trypsin onto poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/ polystyrene composite microspheres, produced by emulsifier-free seeded emulsion polymerization technique, was carried out using the cyanogen bromide method under various conditions. The highest enzymatic activities of the trypsin immobilized in this study against N-α-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester and N-α-benzoyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide, as low-molecular substrates and casein as a high-molecular substrate, were high, as corresponding to 80%, 85% and 50% of those of free trypsin, respectively.
