Abstract
Hydrophilic and macroporous polymer resins composed of glycerylmethacrylate, styrene, and divinylbenzene were quite easily modified with isothiocyanate groups using a Friedel-Crafts reaction with 3-chloropropionyl chloride and subsequent nucleophilic reaction with KSCN. Alkaline phosphatase and trypsin could be covalently bound to the isothiocyanate-carrying polymer resins, and the immobilized enzymes obtained were sufficiently active and stable due to a covalent bonding via a spacer group between the carrier resins and the enzymes and also due to a hydrophilic environment around the enzymes. A heterogeneity of the immobilized enzyme was taken into account to interpret the thermal denaturation process of the enzyme immobilized onto the resins.
