Abstract

Polymer nanoplatforms, particularly nanospheres, play important roles in biotechnological applications. In this study, (aminomethyl) polystyrene (APS) attached Pt(IV) ion based nanoplatforms were prepared via template method for studies biocatalysts of glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx). Nanoplatforms were characterized. The effect of pH and temperature on the activity of immobilized GOx was investigated. The reusability, storage stability and kinetic properties of the immobilized GOx were examined.Vmax /Km values were calculated from Lineweaver-Burk plots for immobilized GOx to the [APS-SalPt(IV)] supports, 1.95, 34.72 and 2.94, 38.46 mMmin -1 /mM respectively for 40 and 80 o C.
