Abstract
Abstract Support matrices for immobilized enzymes may be prepared by treating a solid porous, inorganic, water-insoluble support such as an alumina with a prepolymerized polymeric compound such as polystyrene. After treating the solid support the resultant organic-inorganic composite may then be derivatized, one example of derivatization being nitration of the composite with nitric acid and reducing the nitro-substituted composite to form an aminopolystyrene alumina composite. This composite is then treated with a bifunctional monomer to form a copolymeric material which is substantially entrapped in the pores of the solid support, said copolymeric material containing functionalized pendent groups to which an enzyme may be coupled to form an immobilized enzyme conjugate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A process for the preparation of an organic-inorganic support matrix having pendent bonding sites for enzymatic conjugates which comprises: (a) adsorbing a polystyrene compound on a solid porous inorganic water-insoluble support; (b) nitrating the resultant polystyrene-support composite; (c) chemically reducing the resultant nitropolystyrene-support composite with a chemical reducing agent to form aminopolystyrene; (d) contacting said reduced aminopolystyrene adsorbed support of step (c) with a bifunctional monomer comprising an organic compound containing a moiety selected from the group consisting of acyl, isocyanato, and carbonyl moieties in a molar excess fo from about 2 to about 50 mole proportions of bifunctional monomer relative to the amino of the aminopolystyrene composite formed in step (c) to provide pendent bonding sites for enzymatic conjugate attachment thereto; and (e) recovering said organic-inorganic support matrix having said pendent bonding sites for enzymatic conjugate attachment thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A process for the preparation of an organic-inorganic support matrix having pendent bonding sites for enzymatic conjugates which comprises: (a) adsorbing a polystyrene compound on a solid porous inorganic water-insoluble support; (b) nitrating the resultant polystyrene-support composite; (c) chemically reducing the resultant nitropolystyrene-support composite with a chemical reducing agent to form aminopolystyrene; (d) contacting said reduced aminopolystyrene adsorbed support of step (c) with a bifunctional monomer comprising an organic compound containing a moiety selected from the group consisting of acyl, isocyanato, and carbonyl moieties in a molar excess fo from about 2 to about 50 mole proportions of bifunctional monomer relative to the amino of the aminopolystyrene composite formed in step (c) to provide pendent bonding sites for enzymatic conjugate attachment thereto; and (e) recovering said organic-inorganic support matrix having said pendent bonding sites for enzymatic conjugate attachment thereto.
