  • Publication number: 20260125667
    Abstract: Provided are an enzyme immobilization carrier and a preparation method therefor, an immobilized enzyme and a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. The enzyme immobilization carrier comprises a resin matrix and a divinyl sulfone group modified on the resin matrix by means of a covalent bond. In order to realize the directed immobilization of an enzyme, the divinyl sulfone group is loaded on the resin matrix by means of the covalent bond. In a subsequent enzyme immobilization reaction, by using specific binding of the divinyl sulfone group to a histidine tag, the divinyl sulfone group in the enzyme immobilization carrier is connected to a specific amino acid residue in an enzyme molecule by means of a covalent bond, without reacting with an active group in the enzyme molecule, thereby effectively avoiding excessive influence of the enzyme immobilization carrier on enzyme conformation, and thus retaining a high catalytic activity of the enzyme.
