Integrating biocatalyst production and Immobilization
For biotech startups and established industrial facilities alike, scaling immobilized biocatalysts from a benchtop curiosity to a commercially viable process is a massive undertaking. Cell-free biocatalysis relies on enzymes isolated from living organisms – typically microbes – to drive complex chemical transformations under mild conditions. The ultimate success of a biocatalytic reactor hinges on the

Lactase Stabilization with Glutaraldehyde
Glutaraldehyde is a well known covalent crosslinker that is often used to improve the enzyme immobilization process by creating covalent attachment points (Rodrigues et al. 2021). It reacts with amine groups on the surface of proteins / particles and in so doing promotes structural integrity of the enzyme by connecting it to the solid support,
