To enhance their stability and reusability, lipases are often immobilized on solid supports. Common methods include:
Physical Adsorption: Lipases are adsorbed onto surfaces like silica or polymer beads. Covalent Binding: Enzymes are covalently attached to support materials, providing strong and stable immobilization. Entrapment: Lipases are entrapped within a gel matrix, allowing substrate access while retaining the enzyme.
