Abstract

Since the rising of nanosphere in material science, its potential applications have attracted considerable attentions due to its mechanical, thermal, optical properties. Immobilization of enzymes onto polymericmicrosphere is the most useful strategy to improve the operational stability of biocatalysts without catalyst contamination. Glucose oxidase (GOx) is a commercially important enzyme which has application in pharmaceutical industry as a biosensor for the enzymatic determination of glucose in diabetes and the fermentation of liquor, and in the food industry for the removal of glucose and shelf life of various products. To investigate the effect of spacer arms on enzyme immobilization prepared nanosphere-polymeric support and glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) immobilized on there.
