COMPARISON OF IMMOBILISATION EFFICIENCY AND WORKING EFFICIENCY (%) OF BEADS

Gel concentration (%)	Immobilization effi ciency (%) on the basis of amylase activity in the supernatant	Working effi ciency (%) of beads on the basis of enzyme activity
	Polyacrylamide gel	Polyacrylamide gel
7.5	78-82	59
10.0	88-92	67
12.5	92-95	79
15.0	93-95	89
20.0	97-99	75

Enzyme activity was taken after washing with 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) thrice to remove loosely bound enzyme. These values are mean of six observations
