This invention provides a series of recombinantglucose isomerases with improved catalytic activity and thermostability obtained by using recombinant techniques. These recombinant glucose isomerases comprise amino acid variation including phenylalanine (Phe) at position 139, alanine (Ala) at position 182, serine (Ser) at position 187, and glutamine (Gin) at position 299, and carry at least one additional mutated amino acid at position 87, position 217, position 260 or position 276, and possess a higher catalytic activity than that of the wild-type when using D-glucose as substrate. These recombinant glucose isomerases can be used for direct production of high fructose corn syrup containing 55% [wt] or higher concentration of fructose.

Isolated DNA encoding recombinant glucose isomerase

This invention provides use of a series of recombinantglucose isomerases with improved catalytic activity obtained by using recombinant techniques. These mutants comprise at least one amino acid variation at position 87, position 139, position 182, position 187, position 217, position 260, position 276, or position 299, and can be used in the conversion of hemicellulose to ethanol.

Methods of using isolated glucose isomerase

This invention describes a series of recombinantglucose isomerases having improved catalytic activity and thermostability. The recombinant glucose isomerases can be used for direct production of fructose syrup containing 55 wt % or higher concentration of fructose, or used for the production of fructose syrup containing less than 55 wt % fructose.

Glucose isomerase mutants

The invention discloses a series ofS-adenosylmethionine synthetase mutants with improved thermostability and high catalytic activity obtained by using gene mutation technique, characterized in that these mutants refer to an enzyme using Sequence 2 in the Sequence Listing as the reference sequence and contains at least one mutation at position 102, position 93, position 230, and position 357 and has a catalytic activity at least 70% higher than that of the wild-type S-adenosylmethionine synthetase using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and methionine as substrates. These S-adenosylmethionine synthetase mutants can be used in the production of S-adenosylmethionine.
