ELSEVIER Enzymes Glucose Isomerases With an Altered pH Optimum Lambeir et al Gist-Brocades NV (De&. Netherlands); Plant Genetic Systems NV (Brussels, Belgium) US 5384257; January 24, 1995 A method for selecting amino acid residues which, upon replace- ment, will give rise to an enzyme with an altered pH optimum. The method is specific for metalloenzymes that are inactivated at low pH as a result of the dissociation of the metal ions.

The pectin-modified lipase releases fatty acids of identical chain length from a lipidic substrate in a lower saturated-to- unsaturated fatty acid ratio than the native, unmodified lipase. Method of Effecting Increased Performance of Diagnostic Enzyme Reaction Systems Using Noble Gases Spencer American Air Liquide (Walnut Creek, CA) US 5382525; January 17, 1995 A method of effecting increased performance of diagnostic en- zyme reaction systems that includes contacting at least one reagent of an enzyme-diagnostic kit during use of the reagent in conjunc- tion with the kit with a noble gas.
