Abstract excerpt
Thermostable glucose isomerases are desirable for production of 55% fructose syrups at >90 degrees C. Current commercial enzymes operate only at 60 degrees C to produce 45% fructose syrups. Protein engineering to construct more stable enzymes has so far been relatively unsuccessful, so this review focuses on elucidation of the thermal inactivation pathway as a future guide. The primary and tertiary structures of...
