| Abstract | A new approach for the control and interruption of enzymatic reactions via selective enzyme immobilization has been developed. The technique was exemplified by the use of three model enzymes with the corresponding macromolecular substrates: α-amylase/starch, trypsin/ insoluble collagen, and alkaline phosphatase/plasmid DNA. Prior to incubation with its substrate, each enzyme was provided withde novo thiol-groups by a two-step reaction involvingN-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) and DTT. The chemical modification was achieved such that at least 80% of the native enzyme activity was preserved in all cases.In order to interrupt rapidly the reactions in which the enzymes were used, the modified enzyme was immobilized by reaction via its thiol groups on a thiolsulfinate-agarose derivative. The gel-bound enzyme could then be easily removed from unreacted substrate and product by filtration or centrifugation. Comparative studies showed that the immobilized enzymes had much lower activities in the reactions studied than the corresponding soluble ones. The potential for enzyme reuse was also demonstrated with the a-amylase derivatives, which were quantitatively released and eluted in fully active form from the agarose. We have shown that it is possible to achieve practically complete enzyme immobilization in short times and thus to control the progress of the reactions. Because of its simplicity and high efficiency, this approach may represent an interesting alternative for biotechnological processes involving macromolecular or solid substrates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
