The preparation of a water‐insoluble derivative of glucose oxidase by covalent coupling to nickel on silica alumina is described. The catalyst has superior physical characteristics to conventional immobilized enzymes; although its activity and stability are now comparable to conventional catalysts, potential for significant further improvements has been demonstrated.
