Immobilised enzymes: carrier-bound or carrier-free?
Recent advances have been made in the development of carrier-free immobilised enzymes and several criteria established for the selection of immobilised enzymes for biotransformations. The pros and cons of carrier-free versus carrier-bound immobilised enzymes and of each type of carrier-free enzyme are discussed.
