LITERATURE
Acetone
-
70-80% of cross-linked crystalline xylose isomerase activity is left after incubation for 24 h at 50°C in buffer solutions (pH 7.2) containing 10-90% acetone. Soluble xylose isomerase is considerably less stable in acetone-containing solutions. The addition of acetone enhances the production of fructose from glucose by enhancing the reaction rate and shifting the equilibrium toward fructose. However, xylose isomerase must be in the form of cross-linked crystals for maximal activity and stability
Ethanol
-
in buffer containing 50% ethanol only 2% of the initial cross-linked crystalline xylose isomerase activity is retained after 24 h at 50°C. Soluble xylose isomerase is considerably less stable in ethanol-containing solutions
Methanol
-
cross-linked crystalline xylose isomerase is inactivated in 24 h at 50°C even more in maleate buffer containing 50% methanol
Pyridine
-
cross-linked crystalline xylose isomerase is inactivated in 24 h at 50°C even more in maleate buffer containing 10% pyridine
