Abstract
The in-vitro removal of p-nitrophenol by means of perfusion over the immobilized UDP-glucuronyl transferase within artificial cells was studied. The assayed activities of the immobilized UDP-glucuronyl transferase were about a half of the value of the same amount of free enzyme.
The storage stabilities of immobilized enzyme and free enzyme werstudied under the temperature of 4°C, 22°C and 37°C, respectively. The results showed that immobilized enzyme was more stable than the free enzyme.
Further studies were conducted to determine the stability, kinetics of this system. The results obtained suggest that immobilized UDP-glucuronyl transferase is efficient in conjugating p-nitrophenol in vitro.
