Abstract
In recent years, enzyme immobilization technology has been developed, and studies on immobilized enzyme materials have become very prominent. With the immobilization technique, enzymes and compatible carrier materials are combined or enzyme crystals/aggregates are used in a carrier-free fashion, by physical, chemical, or biochemical methods. As a kind of biocatalyst, immobilized enzymes can catalyze certain chemical reactions with high selectivity and high efficiency under relatively mild reaction conditions and eliminate pollution to the environment. Considering the current status and applications of immobilized enzyme technology and materials emerging in the last 5years, this mini-review introduces the advantages and disadvantages of various enzyme immobilization techniques with carriers as well as the pros and cons of different materials for immobilization. The future prospects of immobilization technology and carrier materials are outlined, aiming to provide a reference for further research and applications of sustainable technology.
