Purified glucoamylase from Arachniotus citrinus was immobilized on polyacrylamide gel with 70% yield of immobilization. The immobilization improved the pH optima, temperature optima, values of Km, Vmax, and activation energy. Irreversible thermal denaturation studies of soluble and immobilized glucoamylase indicated that immobilization decreased the entropy and enthalpy of deactivation by magnitudes and made the immobilized glucoamylase thermodynamically more stable.
