Question

Most commonly used method for enzyme immobilisation is

• A. Adsorption
• B. Denaturation
• C. Fermentation
• D. Dialysis

Hint:

Common enzyme immobilisation methods: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} &\text{Adsorption (most common)} &\text{Covalent binding} &\text{Entrapment} &\text{Encapsulation} &\text{Cross-linking} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall enzyme immobilisation methods. Common methods of enzyme immobilisation include: \[ \begin{aligned} &\text{Adsorption}, &\text{Covalent binding}, &\text{Entrapment}, &\text{Encapsulation}, &\text{Cross-linking}. \end{aligned} \]

Step 2: Identify the most widely used method. Among these methods, \[ \boxed{\text{Adsorption}} \] is the simplest, economical and most commonly employed technique for immobilising enzymes on solid supports. Therefore, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
