Description

Biocatalyst Immobilization: Foundations and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of biocatalytic immobilization processes, as well as methods for study, characterization and application. Early chapters discuss current progress in enzyme immobilization and methods for selecting and pretreating enzymes prior to immobilization, with an emphasis on navigating common challenges and employing enzyme supports and post immobilization treatments to impact enzymatic activity. Process-based chapters instruct on measuring and reporting on enzyme immobilization efficiency, protein final content, quantification of reaction products, and the use of nanomaterials to characterize immobilized enzymes. Later chapters examine recent advances, including novel enzymatic reactors, multi-enzymatic biocatalysts, enzymatic biosensors, whole cell immobilization, the industrial application of immobilized enzymes, and perspectives on future trends.

About the Editor

Maria Ferreira

PhD in Chemistry María Luján Ferreira is a Principal Investigator at CONICET (NATIONAL COUNCIL OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL RESEARCH) of Argentina. She has published more than 150 articles in peer reviewed, international journals, and has participated with presentations in more than 80 argentinian scientific events and more than 120 international scientific meetings. Dr. Ferreira has also directed three Assistant Investigators at CONICET. Her research focuses on all practical aspects of enzyme immobilization (including applied biotechnology) and the details of the experimental design of enzymatic reactions: how to prepare immobilized biocatalysts and sampling in biocatalytic reactions ( from biphasic and multiphasic reaction media) avoiding mistakes and optimizing procedures. Her interests include the molecular modeling of biocatalysts. In more than 20 years of scientific career she has studied polymerization catalysts, heterogeneous metallic catalysts and recently also nanozymes and ionzymes applied in environmental remediation (of dyes and pharmaceuticals) using advanced oxidation processes.
