Enzymes are protein that act as a catalyst to stimulate the biochemical reactions. By reducing the activation energy. However, free enzyme is expensive, unstable, difficult to separate and reuse thus limiting its applications in large-scale operations. Immobilization means confinement of enzymes us...
