Abstract
Highly ordered protein monolayers with defined structures and function s can be generated using appropriate modifications of the original Lan gmuir-Blodgett method. The characteristics of such monolayers of prote ins, and enzymes in particular, are summarized, together with an evalu ation of their potential applications to biocatalysis. None of the oth er immobilization techniques confers such long-term protection and the rmostability on the structure and function of immobilized proteins.
