Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was adsorbed on allyl glycidyl ether (AGE)-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) copolymer with 25\% crosslink density (AGE-25) at pH 8.0 (16\% w/w). The amino, thiol and carboxylic acid functional groups available on protein coated surface were utilized for covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase and beta-galactosidase, both independently, and in a step-wise manner on the same matrix, with no more than 10\% loss of enzyme activity during immobilization. Glutaraldehyde cross-linking after immobilization provided stable enzyme preparations. The pH-optima of the immobilized enzymes were similar to those for free enzyme but their thermal stability was vastly improved. The co-immobilized enzyme support was used as a biosensor for determination of lactose in milk with excellent reproducibility and reusability. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

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.

Two-dimensional crosslinked polymer (2-DCP) was synthesized for evaluation of drug adsorption and kinetics thereof. Further, polymer properties were evaluated and parameters such as contact time and adsorption isotherm were also studied. Herein, contact time demonstrated 83\% and 85\% of drug loading in an acidic medium for two-dimensional crosslinked polymer embedded copper and silver (2-DCP-Cu/Ag), respectively in 24h. Initial 4h is the exponential drug loading period whereas drug loading was increased gradually after 4h. Salbutamol loading was well-fitted to Langmuir adsorption isotherm, which indicated a monolayer drug adsorption with respect to 2-DCP-Cu/Ag. Pseudo first- and pseudo second-order kinetics was evaluated to perceive the drug adsorption mechanism and equilibrium adsorption capacity. Monolayer drug adsorption with chemisorption mechanism was observed for 2-DCP-Cu/Ag. In addition to this, decomposition temperature of polymer was 440 and 325 degrees C while glass transition temperature of polymer was 280 and 200 degrees C before and after metal modification, respectively.
