Popis: Invertase was covalently immobilized on new coal fly ashes glass-ceramic support with zinc sulfate (GCS Zn ). The coupling process of proteins was demonstrated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). There was no change in the optimum pH (4.6) but optimum temperature increased from 55 °C for free invertase to 60 °C for immobilized derivative. The activation energy decreased after immobilization (37.31 ± 3.40 kJ/mol) in spite of free invertase (51.34 ± 5.21 kJ/mol). There was an improvement in the Michaelis–Menten constant for sucrose hydrolysis after immobilization being 15 times lower compared to that for free invertase (0.30 ± 0.01 mmol). After ten reuses at 25 ± 2 °C, the immobilized invertase lost only 9% of initial activity, but at the optimum temperature (60 °C), the activity decrease was about 70%, what it is economically feasible under energetic view point for industrial application.
