Access Active State Immobilisation Methods Affect Rate Substrate

Entrapment and encapsulation methods can slow down substrate access to active sites due to the physical barrier created by the matrix or membrane.

Entrapment and encapsulation methods can slow down substrate access to active sites due to the physical barrier created by the matrix or membrane.

Front State which immobilisation methods may affect the rate at which substrate molecules can gain access to active sites of enzymes and explain why.
Back Access to active site:
  • Entrapment & encapsulation - there is a physical barrier to overcome when diffusing, slowing the process down
