Abstract The influence of the supermolecular structure of carriers obtained by aminolysis of nitrile or ester groups of acrylic copolymers crosslinked with divinylbenzene or ethylene dimethacrylate was investigated. The enzymes peroxidase, glucoamylase and urease immobilized on the carriers of a porous structure display a higher activity as compared to carriers with an expanded structure. The number of functional groups in the carrier influences the activity of the immobilized enzyme, but there is no linear relationship.
