Immobilised amylase assay experiment

Aim
To investigate some of the properties of immobilised enzymes.
Introduction
The four-session practical exercise is designed to give some insight into the preparation and properties of immobilised enzymes. 
It consists of three parts:

Preparation and properties of covalently-immobilised a-amylase. 
Preparation and properties of non-covalently-immobilised a-amylase.
The use of a packed-bed and stirred tank reactor.
