Abstract
During the past two decades, the use of immobilized glucose isomerase for the production of high-fructose corn syrup has evolved into a high ly optimized industrial process. The desire for higher process tempera tures has stimulated the screening of extreme thermophilic organisms f or more thermostable glucose isomerases; protein engineering technique s have also been successfully used to develop more thermostable enzyme s.
