Abstract

In the current study, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of free and polyacrylamide-immobilized CMCase were analyzed. The maximum immobilization yield of 34 ± 1.7% was achieved at 11% acrylamide. The enthalpy of activation (ΔH) of free and immobilized enzyme was found to be 13.61 and 0.29kJmol-1, respectively. Irreversible inactivation energy of free and immobilized CMCase was 96.43 and 99.01kJmol-1, respectively. Similarly, the enthalpy of deactivation (ΔHd) values for free and immobilized enzyme were found to be in the range of 93.51-93.76kJmol-1 and 96.08-96.33kJmol-1, respectively. Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) increased from 1.267 ± 0.06 to 1.5891 ± 0.07mgml-1 and the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) value decreased (8319.47 ± 416 to 5643.34 ± 282 U ml-1min-1) after immobilization. Due to wide pH and temperature stability profile with sufficient reusing efficiency up to three successive cycles, the immobilized CMCase might be useful for various industrial processes.
