mesoporous silica by multipoint covalent attachment by formation of Schiff bases between
enzyme and support. The enzyme was effectively immobilized with high yields (around 60–
80%) and expressed activity (around 50–80%) depending on the concentration of aldehyde
groups in the carrier. Immobilization of β-galactosidase in chemically modified silica
conferred excellent thermal stability to the biocatalyst and enzyme leaching was completely …
