Experiments on deactivation kinetics of immobilized lipase enzyme from Candida cyl-indracea were performed in stirred bath reactor using rice bran oil as the substrate and temperature as the deactivation parameter. The data were fitted In first order deactivation model. The effect of temperature on deactivation rate was represented by Arrhenius equation. Theoretical equations were developed based on pseudo-steady state approximation and Michaelis -Menten rate expression to predict the time course of conversion due to enzyme deactivation and apparent half-life of the immobilized enzyme activity in PFR and CSTH under constant feed rate polity for no diffusion limitation and diffusion limitation of first order. Stability of enzyme in these continuous reactors was predicted and factors affecting the stability were analyzed.

To extend the spectrum of enzyme utilization in the organic solvent system, C. rugosal lipase was selected as a model enzyme because its substrate is soluble to organic solvent. One of the serious disadvantages in this system was the deactivation of the lipase. The pattern of lipase deactivation was the biphasic model. The activation energies for the deactivation were 14.05${\times}$10$^4$ KJ/Kg mole in the first phase and 3.59 ${\times}$ 10$^4$ KJ/mole in the second phase. The several factors were studied for their influences on the pattern of deactivation. Iso-octane as organic solvent influenced more on the first phase than the second phase. Urea as the reagent affecting boty hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond of enzyme also influencea more on the first phase. And the optimum pH for the activity was not correlated to that of the stability.

Reaction characteristics of 4-methylcatechol 2,3-dioxygenase (4MC230) purified from Pseudomonas putida SU10 with a higher activity toward 4-methylcatechol than catechol or 3-cethylcatechol were studied by altering their physical and chemical properties. The enzyme exhibited a maximum activity at pH 7.5 and approximately 40% at pH 6.0 for 4-methylcatechol hydrolysis. The optimum temperature for the enzyme was around $35^{\circ}C$, since the enzyme was unstable at higher temperature. Acetone(10%) stabilized the 4MC230. The effects of solvent and other chemicals (inactivator or reactivator) for the reactivation of the 4MC230 were also investigated. Silver nitrate and hydrogen peroxid severely deactivated the enzyme and the deactivation by hydrogen peroxide severely deactivated the enzyme and the deactivation by hydrogen peroxide was mainly due to the oxidation of ferrous ion to ferric ion. Some solvents acted as an activator and protector for the enzyme from deactivation by hydrogen peroxide. Ascorbate, cysteine, or ferrous ion reactivated the deactivated enzyme by hydrogen peroxide. The addition of ferrous ion together with a reducing agent fully recovered the enzyme activity and increased its activity abut 2 times.

Dry corn gluten meal of 70% protein content was enzymatically hydrolyzed by alkaline protease in a pH-state reactor. Such process variables as temperature, pH, and enzyme-to-substrate ratio were varied, and at each condition degree of hydrolysis was monitored and calculated. The ultimate degree of hydrolysis, which ranged between 25 and 28% based on gluten protein mass, was not significantly affected by the process variables. However, $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 9-10 appeared optimum. Kinetic analysis indicated enzyme deactivation was negligible during the hydrolysis, and the experimental data were near perfectly fitted to the model kinetic equation which was modified after neglecting enzyme deactivation term. The enzyme reaction was 1$100\times$ scaled up and basically the same hydrolysis performance was resulted. Amino acid analysis showed the hydrolyzate was relatively rich in glutamine/glutamic acid, leucine, and alanine at 19.6, 16.1, and 12.3 mole %, respectively.

Aqueous two-phase fermentation system was tested for the overproduction of extracellular enzyme through $\alpha$-amylase fermentation by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. By employing aqueous two-phase system $\alpha$-amylase activity showed 25% increase compared to the result using regular medium and no deactivation of the enzyme was observed. The presence of polyethylene glycol was observed to promote the enzyme production, while to inhibit the growth of the microorganism. It is recommended that polyethylene glycol be added during the log-growth phase and dextran be added after the enzyme activity reaches Its maximum for efficient $\alpha$-amylase fermentation and in situ recovery of the enzyme.

Coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CiP) was often used as a catalyst for oxidative polymerization of a variety of phenol derivatives to produce a new class of polyphenols. Economical point of view, to know the mechanism of enzyme deactivation is significantly important because cost of enzyme is critically high. Hydrogen peroxide being used as oxidizing agent induced deactivation of peroxidase by destruction of heme structure. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide the stability of peroxidase was unexpectedly improved by adding organic solvent. Especially 2-propanol significantly improved enzyme stability among tested solvents. Radical scavenging by organic solvents may play a major role in protecting peroxidase from the oxidation of oxidizing radicals.

Veratryl alcohol which has been reported as an inducer for lignin peroxidase showed different effects on the enzyme biosynthesis in Phanerochaete chrysosporium depending on the addition time. Enzyme expression was optimally induced by adding veratryl alcohol when the carbon source began to be depleted. Hydrogen peroxide, to some extent, stimulated production of lignin peroxidase, but beyond a certain concentration, inactivated lignin peroxidase. Tween 80 induced the formation of small pellets, which were resistant to the deactivation by shear stress. Lignin peroxidase production was increased twice compared with that of the control by adopting all the optimal factors in the culture system.

Cellulase was modified with synthetic copolymers of polyoxyethylene derivative and maleic acid anhydride. The saccharification characteristics and enzymatic reaction kinetic mechanism of modified and native cellulases were observed. In modification reaction of cellulase, degree of modification(DM) increased, as mass ratio of copolymers to enzyme increased. Maximum DM was 55% at mass ratio of 4 and remained activity was 75%. In saccharification experiment modified enzyme had maintained higher stability than native enzyme over all the reaction and the final conversion yield of modified enzyme was greater than that of native enzyme. Numerical simulation based on the reaction mechanism considering enzymatic deactivation was performed. Modified enzyme had kept higher free enzyme concentration over all the reaction than that of native enzyme. Comparing calculation values with experimental data, calculation values were in accordance with experimental data.

The enzyme deactivation in a membrane recycling system for the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) was studied under various temperature and pressure. The optimum molecular weight cut off(MWCO) of the ultrafiltration membrane for recycling cellulase and ${\beta}$-glucosidase was 50,000. When the cellulase was recycled continuously through the membrane system, it was not deactivated. But the activity of ${\beta}$-glucosidase was decreased with an increase in operating temperature and transmembrane pressure. After 720 minutes at $42^{\circ}C$ and 24.8 psig , the activity of ${\beta}$-glucosidase was reduced by 35% of the initial activity. Such tendencies could be well explained by the results of highly induced shear at the fiber surface of membrane when temperature and transmembrane pressure became higher.
