Abstract: The present paper reports the immobilization of urease on "cross-linked" PVAgel containing a high amount of water. Experimented results show that the immobilized urease on PVAgel has a high activity yield(79%). The immobilized urease activity is 63 mg/g (half hour at 37℃). The repeated determination with substrate showed no detectable loss in enzymatic activity. The determination of the activity within 26days at 37℃ showed a 26% loss of enzymatic activity.
