The goal of this research is to prepare and characterize                        single-bead-string reactors (SBSR's) in which enzymes have been                 immobilized.  These reactors are prepared by packing a tube with solid          glass spheres whose diameter is slightly larger than the radius of the          tubing, creating a zig-zag pattern when properly packed.  Two reactor           designs will be examined, one with enzymes bonded to the tube walls and         the other with enzymes immobilized on the beads.  These immobilized             enzyme systems will then be used to study mixing in continuous flow             systems.  Using a very active enzyme, such that molecular movement is           the limiting factor (i.e., the rate at which the reactant reaches the           enzyme), mass transfer can be calculated by measuring the changes in            product concentration.
