Reaction Steps

In this way one obtains an enzymatic complex which is soluble in water (at a pH of more than 4.5) and has an enzymatic activity corresponding to 1500 enzyme units per g of complex (an enzyme unit being defined by the amount of fructose, expressed in micromols, produced in 30 minutes, at 50° C, from an 0.66 M glucose solution containing this enzymatic complex in solution.
