Preface
Immobilizing body at a particular position is a mechanism of meditation that concentrates complete energy and allows its linear alignment from head to toe.
Chapter 1: The concept of enzyme immobilization first arose in 1916 when it was found that enzymes could perform catalysis even in a fixed state with movement only at the active site. Technology has evolved tremendously since then, particularly with respect to immobilizing matrices. Enzyme immobilization has solutions to various problems related to the industrial, agricultural and environmental sectors, and it has a higher number of patents across the world than any other technology known to date. However, the connectivity to their arrival in the market and patents filed is not very appreciative. An immobilized enzyme has various heightened and additional properties with respect to its soluble state, such as higher stability, more reusability, longer storage time, a broad range of activities in the presence of various physical and chemical factors, as well as easier product recovery. Chapter 1 is the compiled summary of the innovative research carried out in the field over the last 100 years. Chapter 2: Immobilized enzymes have a broad range of applications, including synthesis of complex drug intermediates; chemical synthesis without toxic by
