Abstract
Abstract Aminoacylase is absorbed on a porous inorganic support that has been coated with a film of cross-linked polymer containing tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium salt groups to provide support-aminoacylase complexes for use in the separation of racemic acetylamino-acids.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
Stable support-aminoacylase complexes having an enzymatic activity, consisting of aminoacylase adsorbed on a support in the form of an inorganic porous substance selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide and silica having a grain size between 4 μm and 5 mm, a specific surface of the order of 5 to 150 m 2 /g, a pore diameter of 500 to 2500 A, a pore volume of 0.4 to 2 ml/g, and coated in an amount of less than 10 mg/m 2 without blocking the pores of the support, with a film of cross-linked polymer containing or bearing groups selected from the group consisting of tertiary amine and quaternary ammonium salts in which the functional groups are from the group consisting essentially of ##STR4## or --CH 2 --N.sup.(±) (R) 3 X.sup.(-), in which R, which may be identical or different, represents an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and X is an inorganic or organic anion.
