Abstract
The polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) membrane formed by cellulose sulfate and poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) was used to encapsulate lactate dehydrogenase. The exclusion limit of the membrane was found to be low enough to secure irreversible entrapping of the enzyme. The obtained capsules were checked for their functionality in a stirred-batch reactor by following the kinetics of NADH oxidation. The data were fitted with an isotropic kinetic model including competitive product-inhibition phenomenon. The results of mathematical modeling demonstrated that the anisotropic system, like PEC capsules, could be satisfactorily described by the isotropic model.
