Abstract
The present invention relates to a hexokinase that is stable in solution whether in the presence or the absence of glucose. The present enzyme is obtained from a culture of the thermophilic yeast, Kluyveromyces. It can be used for determination of ATP and glucose, and for determination of a biological component which produces ATP or glucose (e.g. creatine kinase).
