Degradation of bacterial cell walls by immobilized lysozyme.
Lysozyme was immobilized by two different methods in two different ways in order to obtain a preparation with an activity as high as possible toward a macromolecular substrate. The enzyme was bound as a Schiff base to a silicate carrier by using oxidized dextrans of different lengths as spacer and also was bound to controlled pore aminoglass via pyridino-4-aldehyde and BrCN. The latter preparations had activities up to 2.5% of the free lysozyme.
