	abstract = {<p>Trypsin adsorption from aqueous buffer by various copolymers of allyl glycidyl ether-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (AGE-EGDM) copolymer with varying crosslink density increases with increasing crosslink density and the effect slowly wears off after reaching a plateau at 50\% crosslink density. The copolymer with 25\% crosslink density was reacted with different amines with alkyl/aryl side chains to obtain a series of copolymers with 1,2-amino alcohol functional groups and varying hydrophobicity. Trypsin binding capacity again increases with hydrophobicity of the reacting amine and a good correlation between logP(octanol) of the amine and protein binding is observed. The bound trypsin is denatured to the extent of 90\% in spite of the presence of hydrophilic hydroxyl and amino groups. The behavior was comparable to that in mixtures of aqueous buffer and water-miscible organic co-solvents where the solvent concentration required to deactivate 50\% of the enzyme (C-50) is dependent on logP(octanol) of the co-solvent.

	abstract = {<p>Allyl glycidyl ether (AGE)-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) copolymer with 25\% crosslink density (AGE-25) shows excellent bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption (up to 16\% (w/w)) at pH 8.0 and the adsorbed BSA is strongly bound. This protein-coated polymer provides a novel matrix with naturally existing functional groups such as thiol, amino, and carboxylic acid that are available for covalent immobilization of functional enzymes. Employing appropriate strategies, trypsin as a model protein was covalently bound to BSA-coated matrix both independently, and in a stepwise manner on the same matrix, with less than 5\% loss of enzyme activity during immobilization. Glutaraldehyde crosslinking after immobilization provide stable enzyme preparation with activity of 510 units/g recycled up to six times without loss of enzyme activity. AFM studies reveal that the polymer surface has protein peaks and valleys rather than a uniform monolayer distribution of the protein and the immobilized enzyme preparation can best be described as polymer supported cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs).
