Abstract

A phosphazene polymer for immobilizing biologically active substances such as enzymes is prepared that does not lower activity originally possessed by the biologically active substance and does not contain a functionality which can adsorb undesired substances. The polymer has organic radicals having a functional group capable of binding a biologically active substance and organic radicals which are non-reactive and hydrophilic. The non-reactive and hydrophilic organic radicals are preferably prepared by reacting a side chain of the polymer having a primary amino group with formaldehyde or by diazotizing the primary amino group followed by hydrolysis to form a hydroxyl group. A biologically active substance immobilized on the polymer can be used to separate a substance that has affinity for the immobilized biologically active substance.
