Enzymes and whole cells are able to catalyze the most complex
chemical processes under the most benign experimental and
environmental conditions. In this way, enzymes and cells could be
excellent catalysts for a much more sustainable chemical industry.
However, enzymes and cells also have some limitations for
nonbiological applications: fine chemistry, food chemistry,
analysis, therapeutics, and so on. Enzymes and cells may be
unstable, difficult to handle under nonconventional conditions,
poorly selective toward synthetic substrates, and so forth. From
this point of view, the transformation-from the laboratory to
industry-of chemical processes catalyzed by enzymes and cells may
be one of the most complex and exciting goals in biotechnology. For
many industrial applications, enzymes and cells have to be
immobilized, via very simple and cost-effective protocols, in order
to be re-used over very long periods of time. From this point of
view, immobilization, simplicity, and stabilization have to be
strongly related concepts. Over the last 30 years, a number of
protocols for the immobilization of cells and enzymes have been
reported in scientific literature. However, only very few protocols
are simple and useful enough to greatly improve the functional
properties of enzymes and cells, activity, stability, selectivity,
and related properties.
