Enantioseparationusing apoenzymes immobilized in a porous polymeric membrane
Article Abstract:
Membrane-based separation technologies are easier and more economical than competing separation methods, although highly selective membranes are required. An approach to prepare highly selective membranes involving immobilizing apoenzymes in a microporous composite, is demonstrated. It was found that the apoenzyme has selective recognition of its substrate molecule, transporting it over the composite membrane, with no effect on unwanted chemical substrate molecule conversion.
