Analysis Of Diffusional Effects In Porous Supports
http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/biology/enztech/porous.html
The resource describes the importance of internal diffusional control over external diffusion control in the study of immobilised enzyme catalysts. A key point emphasised is that the pathways through which the substrate travel internally are generally much greater than those involved in external diffusion control. It also highlights factors that can complicate analysis of immobilised enzymes using internal diffusion control such as the shape of the particle, distribution in size and shape of the pores, porosity etc. The site is part of the text of a book 'Enzyme Technology' written by Martin Chaplin and Christopher Bucke (Cambridge University Press, 1990), currently out of print and undergoing updating and editing on this site.
