Abstract

Polystyrene resins with varied particle sizes (35 to 350-600 microm) and pore diameters (300-1000 A) were employed to study the effects of immobilization resin particle size and pore diameter on Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) loading, distribution within resins, fraction of active sites, and catalytic properties for polyester synthesis. CALB adsorbed rapidly (saturation time
