Abstract
The equilibrium constant of the isomerization reaction between d-mannose and d-fructose which is catalyzed by a mannose isomerase from Streptomyces aerocolorigenes was obtained by using three methods over the temperature range from 1 to 40°C.It was found that the equilibrium constant was scarcely dependent on temperature, ΔH, the heat of the formation of d-fructose from d-mannose, being approximately zero.The standard free energy change, ΔG, and the standard entropy change, ΔS, of the reaction were calculated from the equilibrium constants at various temperatures and ΔH. The values of ΔG and ΔS at 25°C were −650 cal/mole and + 2.2 cal/deg·mole, respectively.By combining these thermodynamic data with those obtained for the isomerization reaction between d-glucose and d-fructose reported in the previous paper, ΔH, ΔG and ΔS for the isomerization between d-mannose and d-glucose were indirectly obtained to be +2220 cal/mole, +830 cal/mole and +4.6 cal/deg·mole at 25°C, respectively.
