Enzymes are the precious gift of nature to humans. The wise utilization of enzymes may reduce energy needs of humans and the Immobilization technique can help a lot in this regard. This aspect overcomes limitations of the enzymes, therefore providing an opportunity to explore enzymatic chemistry further. In the present context, it is quite cumbersome & costly to identify the amino acid of enzymes involved in the covalent mode of Immobilization. In the present study, molecular modeling techniques were used to do this difficult task. The present work used molecular modeling methods to extract information about the immobilization of α-Amylase (E.C.3.2.1.1) on Dialdehyde Cellulose. The Lysine residue is the most probable residue to interact with Dialdehyde Cellulose. In the present work, a total of 23 lysine residues were used to study covalent binding behavior with α-Amylase. It was found that if Lys¹⁴² is involved in binding with Dialdehyde Cellulose then binding affinity (−6.1 & −5.9 kcal mol⁻¹), as well as the involvement of amino acids of both free α-Amylase and Lys¹⁴² immobilized α-Amylase with the starch substrate, were found to be similar. The technique reported here is used for the identification of amino acid residue for the Immobilization of enzymes.
