M. Kamori et al., Immobilization of lipase on a new inorganic ceramics support, toyonite, and the reactivity and enantioselectivity of the immobilized lipase, J MOL CAT B, 9(4-6), 2000, pp. 269-274
A porous ceramics support, Toyonite 200-M (TN-M), for the immobilization of
lipases was prepared hydrothermally from the minerals of kaolinite. Compar
ed with some other commercial solid supports, the TN-M one exhibited better
stability and higher selectivity for lipase proteins, and lipase PS (Pseud
omonas cepacia) immobilized on the ceramics support showed higher reactivit
y for organic substrates than the free crude enzyme. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scie
