Membrane enzyme reactors constitute an attempt at integrating catalytic conversion, product separation and/or concentration and catalyst recovery into a single operation. Whereas conventional membrane reactors confine an enzyme, in a free form, to one side of a membrane by size exclusion, electrosta

A novel class of amphoteric, polymeric buffers, is described, consisting of grafting onto growing polyacrylamide chains weakly acidic and basic acrylamido-monomers (called Immobilines; protolytic groups as N-substituents on the nitrogen of the amido bond), for operating a membrane-immobilized enzyme
To explain the electrical activation of several membrane ATPases, an electroconformational coupling (ECC) model has previously been proposed. The model explained many features of experimental data but failed to reproduce a window of the field intensity for the stimulated activity. It is shown here t
A novel type of immobilized enzyme reactor operating under an electric field is here reported: a multicompartment immobilized enzyme reactor (MIER). In this experimental set-up, the enzyme and zwitterionic buffering ions are trapped in between two isoelectric membranes, having isoelectric point (pI)
