Prefa ce
Enzyme stabilization has been an area of research interest since the 1950s, but in the last
three decades, researchers have made tremendous progress in the fi eld. This has opened up
new opportunities for enzymes in molecular biology as well as industrial applications, such
as bioprocessing, biosensors , and biofuel cells .
The fi rst chapter introduces the reader to the fi eld of enzyme stabilization and the dif-
ferent theories of enzyme stabilization, including the use of immobilization as a stabiliza-
tion technique. The fi rst part of the book will focus on protocols for enzyme stabilization
in solutions including liposome formation, m icelle introduction, crosslinking, and addi-
tives, while the second part of the book will focus on protocols for enzyme stabilization
during enzyme immobilization including common techniques like sol-gel encapsulation ,
polymer encapsulation, and covalent attachment to supports. Protocols for a variety of
enzymes are shown, but the enzymes are chosen as examples to show that these protocols
can be used for both enzymes of biological importance and enzymes of industrial impor-
tance. The fi nal chapter will detail spectroscopic protocols, methods, and assays for study-
ing the effectiveness of the enzyme stabilization and immobilization strategies.
The chapters of this volume should provide molecular biologists, biochemists, and bio-
medical and biochemical engineers with the state-of-the-art technical information required
to effectively stabilize their enzyme of interest in a variety of environments (i.e., harsh tem-
perature, pH, or s olvent conditions).

Introduction to the Field of Enzyme Immobilization
and Stabilization
Michael J. Moehlenbrock and Shelley D. Minteer
Abstract
Enzyme stabilization is important for many biomedical or industrial application of enzymes (i.e., cell-free
biotransformations and biosensors). In many applications, the goal is to provide extended active lifetime at
normal environmental conditions with traditional substrates at low concentrations in buffered solutions.
However, as enzymes are used for more and more applications, there is a desire to use them in extreme
environmental conditions (i.e., high temperatures), in high substrate concentration or high ionic strength,
and in nontraditional solvent systems. This chapter introduces the topic enzyme stabilization and the
methods used for enzyme stabilization including enzyme immobilization.
Key words Enzyme immobilization , E nzyme stabilization , C ross-linking , E ntrapment , E ncapsulation
1 Introduction
This book details methods for enzyme stabilization and enzyme
immobilization. Although the concepts of enzyme immobilization
and enzyme stabilization are different, they are related. Enzyme
immobilization techniques are strategies focused on retaining an
enzyme on a surface or support. In theory, they are focused on
being able to reuse the enzyme and/or constrain the enzyme to a
particular area of a reactor or device, whereas enzyme stabilization
is focused on extending the active catalytic lifetime of the protein.
Enzyme immobilization is one method for stabilizing enzymes.
Enzymes are proteins with complex and fragile three-dimensional
structures. The main methods for stabilizing enzymes are: protein
engineering , chemical modifi cation, immobilization, and adding
additives for stabilization.
Protein engineering is a very common method for enzyme sta-
bilization, but it is out of the scope of this book, because it is not a
simple or translational method that can be detailed in a chapter.
The common types of protein engineering are directed evolution,
site-directed mutagenesis, and peptide chain extensions. Directed
