ABSTRACT:
Polysulfonium salts that can react with nucleophilic groups and covalently cross-link are used to immobilize enzymes or enzyme-containing cellular material. Some of the polysulfonium salts can both flocculate and covalently cross-link. Replacement of the cross-linker, glutaraldehyde, with the polysulfonium salt results in greater retention of enzyme activity during immobilization. Immobilization is carried out by forming a mixture of an enzyme or enzyme-containing cellular material and the polysulfonium salt and subjecting the mixture to conditions such that sulfonium ions react with nucleophilic groups contained by the enzyme or cellular material to form a covalently cross-linked and water insoluble product. The enzyme or cellular material may be flocculated with a flocculating agent prior to cross-linking with the polysulfonium salt. The polysulfonium salt can be a polymer containing sulfonium groups.
