Abstract
Commercial lipase was immobilized into an organic-inorganic matrix formed by hydrolysis of silicon alkoxides (tetraethoxysilane, dimethyldiethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane) with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, (3-thiopropyl)trimethoxysilane and chlorodiisopropyloctylsilane. Hydrolytic activity of lipase was tested after addition of the enzyme to a prepolymer solution, after gelation, in xerogel particles and in thin layers deposited on glass slides by dip- or spin-coating. The prepolymer containing NH groups showed the higher activity then the native enzyme.
