immobilized enzymes. Covalently linked, adsorbed, and
matrix-entrapped enzymes represent stage II, research on the
microenvironment. Microencapsulation represents stage III, research
on the intracellular environment. Further subdivision of
microencapsulated enzymes will be found in Chapter 12. 4 T. M. S.
CHANG matrix entrapment. In this section, detailed discussions will
center on clinical analysis, urine analysis, monitoring of
environmental pollution, radioimmune assay, enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay, enzyme electrodes, and other approaches
involving immobilized enzymes, antibodies, and antigens. In the
final section, research workers describe and discuss the
perspectives of immobilized enzymes and proteins. Here, they
speculate on the future potential of possible approaches, even
though these may not have been extensively studied or tested at the
laboratory stage. The biomedical applications of enzymes and
proteins, especially in the thera peutic area, is in a very early
stage of development. Much remains to be explored and studied, and
the area is wide open for investigators interested in original
research in a new interdisciplinary area. References Chang, T. M.
