Abstract
A metal ion that inhibits enzyme deactivation is bonded to a carrier and inhibits enzyme deactivation when contacted with a substrate for the enzyme. A carrier-bound metal ion such as ions of iron is particularly suitable for inhibiting deactivation of glucose isomerase when isomerizing glucose to fructose. Glucose isomerase life is remarkably prolonged by contacting carrier-bound iron ions with a glucose substrate solution prior to isomerizing with glucose isomerase.
