You are working for company A and you join a research group working on immobilized en-
zymes. Harry, the head of the lab, claims that immobilization improves the stability of the en-
zyme. His proof is that the enzyme has a half-life of 10 days in free solution, but under
identical conditions of temperature, pH, and medium composition, the measured half-life of a
packed column is 30 days. The enzyme is immobilized in a porous sphere 5 mm in diameter.
Is Harry's reasoning right? Do you agree with him? Why or why not?
