Characterization of Cellulase Immobilized on Dextran and Diethylaminoethyl-dextran

M.r. Momongan | R.m. Castillo | E.j. Del Rosario

 

Abstract:

Cellulase was covalently bound to water-soluble dextran, by means of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine, and immobilized on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)­dextran via ionic linkage at pH 4.0. The free enzyme had a maximal specific activity, using carboxymethyl-cellulose as substrat"e, at pH 5.0 while the dextran­bound and DEAE-dextran-bound enzymes had maximal activites at pH 7.5 and 4.0, respectively. The frei: enzyme was most active at so0c. Oextran-bound and DEAE-dextran-bound cellulase were most active at 55 and 60°c, respectively.
