PURIFICATION OF GLUCOSE ISOMERASE
A number of reports regarding the production of GI from
various microorganisms are available. However, few of them
describe purification of GI to a homogeneous state. The commercial
use of GI involves the immobilized form of the enzyme,
which is cheap and effective and does not require the
purification and concentration of the enzyme. The purification
of GI is important from the academic point of view, since it
involves basic studies on chemical modification, structure-function
relationships, and properties.
