Abstract
The invention provides a glucose dehydrogenase that is an extremely stable enzyme having a thermostability of 80° C. or more, and that does not substantially act upon saccharides other than glucose (e.g., having a reactivity of less than 3% with respect to maltose, galactose, and xylose). The invention also provides a method for producing such an enzyme, and a composition for quantifying glucose using such an enzyme.
