Manipulating the activity of immobilized enzymes with different organo-smectite complexes

Summary Enzymes may be immobilized on hydrophobic surfaces of organo-smectite complexes. The immobilized enzyme may be active, partially active, or inactive depending on the nature of the organic surface. These materials may be useful as models for enzymes in natural systems, and in medicine and industry.This work was partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. CHE-8306583.
