Synthesis And Study Of Novel Papain -Polypyrrole Composite

Papain enzyme and organic, conducting polymer polypyrrole, composite was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization technique, using pyrrole monomer and ferric chloride, as an oxidant in a ratio of 2:3. The papain –pyrrole composites was characterized by X-ray diffraction, which shows amorphous nature. Scanning electron microscopy studies a confirms a uniform granular structure of PPy-papain. Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy conferms all the all characteristics absorption peaks of polypyrrole and papain.
