Abstract: α-Chymotrypsin has been immobolized on porous silica beads. The activity,opti-mum temperature and pHof the immobilized chymotrypsin as well as its Micllaelis constant have also been determined. its stabilities to heat, acid, base, methanol and urea are in-creased remarkably. It has been applied to resolving DL-phenylalanine continuously more than two months with good performance. L-Phenylalanine is obtained in a yield of 90%, and its optical purity reaches as high as 96%.

Key words: α-Chymotrypsin, Immobolization, L-Phenylalanine, Optical resolution
