Beta-glucosidase from T. reesei was successfully immobilized on synthetic superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 10 nm, silanized and amino-functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTS). When silanized and coated the saturation magnetization decreased from [...]
