Enzymes are the biocatalysts of the living world, but their properties render them also exploitable in many applications that range from industrial catalysis to therapeutics, including synthetic and pharmaceutical chemistry, wastewater bioremediation, fabrication of high performance biosensors, among others. The use of enzymes, however, is limited by their recovery since this aspect plays a significant role in the evaluation of the cost of the biocatalytic processes, therefore several methods have been proposed for their immobilization on stable supports. This study investigates the possibility of using different phases of nano-alumina for enzyme capture and reuse.
