Notes:
Glucose Oxidase was immobilized on a porous polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane. The activity of the glucose oxidase-PVC membrane decreased when the membrane was mechanically stretch. A linear relationship was observed between the stress and the relative logarithmic activity of the glucose oxidase-PVC membrane. Apparent Michaelis constant (Km′) and maximum velocity (Vm′) of the glucose oxidase-PVC membrane under stretched conditions were 1.4 and 0.71 times those without stretching, respectively. The decrease of the membrane activity with stress was reproducible. Therefore, the glucose oxidase activity of the membrane can be controlled with stress.
