Abstract

L-Arabinose isomerase stability is a crucial criterion for the industrial application of this biocatalyst. Noria and NoriaPG are capable of increasing the L-arabinose isomerase stability not only at high temperatures but also at low pH. Such results highlight, for the first time, the use of the Noria series of molecules for protein stabilization and activation.
