Front Describe the advantages and disadvantages of adsorption.
Back Adsorption:

Advantages
  • Simple, cheap to do
  • Can be used with many different processes
  • Enzymes very accessible to substrate, activity virtually unchanged
Disadvantages
  • Enzymes can be lost relatively easily
  • Random orientation can lead to inaccessible active site
