activity quickly decreases at temperatures above the optimum, the relative activity of the enzyme at 25°C is 60% of maximum activity, the enzyme is labile at high temperatures (more than 55°C) and stabilized at less than 30°C

the entrapment of alpha-chymotrypsin within 70-40 nm liposomes formed from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine leads to a remarkable increase in the thermal stability of the enzyme. Heating aqueous suspensions of alpha-chymotrypsin-containing 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine liposomes to 80°C for 30 minutes results in partial enzyme inactivation, whereas the same treatment of aqueous solutions of free enzyme inactivates the enzyme completely. The stabilizing effect of enzyme confinement in the attoliter volumes of the liposomes increases with decreasing numbers of alpha-chymotrypsin molecules per liposome
