A support for enzyme immobilization was prepared by functionalization of mesoporous silica with octyltriethoxysilane. The features of the surface enables the adsorption of lipase from Candida antarctica B via strong hydrophobic interactions, enhancing the stability of the adsorbed enzyme molecules....
