Abstract:
      Minerals and organic matter comprise the most active soil interfaces, which would affect the transportation, transformation, and biological availability of heavy metals, organic pollutants, and large biological molecules. Soil enzymes are closely related to the biogeochemical cycle of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other elements. Enzymes on soil often exist in the form of complexes at the soil interfaces. This paper reviewed recent advances in the mechanism of enzyme/protein adsorption on soil interfaces and the related major controlling factors, the change in conformation and activities of adsorbed enzymes and their inherent relationship, and the advanced experimental techniques for studying soil enzyme adsorption. Lastly, the prospects of immobilization research for degrading organic pollutants in soil and water in future research and the molecular modeling techniques for soil enzyme adsorption are discussed.
