Immobilization and Characterization of a Recombinant Thermostable Lipase (Pf2001) from Pyrococcus furiosus on Supports with Different Degrees of Hydrophobicity
Figure 4
Hypothesis to explain the hydrophobic effect of the support on the biocatalysts’ thermal stability: (a) weaker interactions between support and enzyme assure the integrity of the biocatalyst structure, while (b) stronger interactions deform and destabilize the structure.
