The glucose isomerase(GI) was a metal activating enzyme It was most activated by Co 2+ and Mg 2+ ,and Mg 2+ was the best activator,whether the glucose or the xylose was the substrate When the glucose was substrate,the dissociation constant of Mg 2+ GI,Co 2+ GI and Mn 2+ -GI was 115 μmol/L,40 μmol/L, and 15 μmol/L respectively. The maximum activity of Mg 2+ GI,Co 2- GI and Mn 2+ GI was 100%,85%,and 20% respectively. When the xylose was substrate,the order of dissociation constant and maximum activity of the metal enzymes was the same Ca 2+ was a competitive inhibitor versus Mg 2+ ( K i 7 4 μmol/L)or Co 2+ ( K i 99 μmol/L). Compared with Mg 2+ GI,the K m of Co 2+ GI was more,and the V M of Co 2+ GI less The process of activity recovery from apo GI to metal GI showed that it was slow and of two
